Ratings are displayed in the playlist and there is an option to filter ratings, yet there is no way to change ratings. It would be nice to have this option. Perhaps this is better marked as a wish than a bug, and the component set to baloo instead of general. May I ask whether the ratings are retrieved from a file's xattrs, namely user.baloo.rating, or is it taken from the file's id3 tag? (I would personally prefer the latter.)
Currently, Elisa does not know how to modify the track files. The rating is read through KF5:: KFileMetaData. Its support has been extended to be able to read ratings specific to audio files. We will work on this but I cannot make any promises for a date. Would you like to help us ?
Thanks for the info, and glad to hear you'll be working on this. I myself have virtually no programming skills, so I wouldn't be of any help--sorry!
Git commit 813203051377c6b7c9bdda1212312c64da076133 by Alexander Stippich. Committed on 17/11/2018 at 09:10. Pushed by astippich into branch 'master'. use rating and comment stored in metadata tags Summary: if no xattr rating and comment are found, use the data stored in the metadata. First step for T5375 Test Plan: Create an audio file with rating written into the metadata. The rating shows up in Elisa. If xattr rating is set through dolphin, this rating is shown instead.
