Description Federico Acosta 2018-03-28 15:39:17 UTC
Bug, or bad implementation on version: in all the versions.

Hello, when I do a search in Dolphin, and it gives me a list of files. When you erase any of them, it keeps showing up. One would expect the search results to update and stop showing the file that has just been deleted. 

Greetings and excellent work.

When I Delete a file listed in a search, it continue appearing the file I have deleted till I close dolphin and open it again
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2018-04-22 21:22:45 UTC
File disappears from search result when I press F5 after deletion.
Use del or shift+del to delete makes no difference.

Tested on Arch Linux, plasma 5.12.4.

The search results do update correctly after refreshing the view with Dolphin 18.04.2, but it'd probably be nice if we would automatically refresh after the deletion. I'll keep this report open, but re-word the title/tags.

There is a special case where baloo does not pick up on changes in a folder if a parent folder is renamed

The issues of:

    Baloo not noticing changes in the filesystem and/or not indexing the changed files

and:

    Dolphin caching results and not showing changes.

are quite distinct. There is a command line test to check whether the issue is a "baloo thing" or not, try:

    balooshow -x the-file-in-question.txt

or

    baloosearch the-file-in-question

and see whether they give you details of the file.

If they do not then need to troubleshoot baloo. If baloosearch works and you don't see what you expect in Dolphin then need to check how dolphin is doing the search (Dolphin uses baloo when it can but this can get complicated) or whether there's an issue with caching.

Hi i found something funny why my Dolphin is not updating the view. 
I just found it comfy to put a shortcut of the PAPERBIN on my Desktop. After this Dolphin was not updating the view!!!
After removing the PAPERBIN shortcut on my desktop (i put it in Paperbins ;-) ) Dolphin is working like normal and view is updated!!!!!

As i am no expert to fix this problem or look at it its up to the professionals. In my case it was a "simple shortcut" like i was used to from windows.
