SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Elisa 2. Add folder of music 3. Add directory to paths for Elisa to scan OBSERVED RESULT No music shows up, until force filesystem indexing is turned on. EXPECTED RESULT Albums show up as intended. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux, KDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Another thing happening with Elisa for me is, whenever Elisa is turned off, the force file system index feature is incorrectly marked as not enabled.
Is Baloo indexing turned on? If so, can you find one of your music files using Dolphin's file search, or the file search in KRunner or Kickoff?

I wasn't aware of baloo indexing before, but on checking it does look to be enabled because checking balooctl status shows it has files indexed. Oddly enough, when searching for one of my songs (in dolphin), nothing shows up. Screenshots: https://i.imgur.com/LRmjeXp.png https://i.imgur.com/cmfhtNE.png
Sounds like Bug 430435. If you run `balooctl purge` to re-generate the index, and then restart the computer, do results start showing up in Baloo and Elisa?
