Created attachment 136803 [details] tag_description_missing SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a Comment to a file (rightclick>properties>Details) > add comment 2. Add a Tag to a file (rightclick>properties>Details) > add Tag 3. In Details View, rigclick up in the column headers (Name, Type, Size), Check Details and Tag on. OBSERVED RESULT In Details view, the Headers column for the file does not show the Tags+Comments EXPECTED RESULT In Details view, the Headers column SHOULD show the Tags+Comments SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: kubuntu 20.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm unable to replicate this issue in Dolphin 20.12.3. Are you able to test with the Dolphin flatpak to see if a newer version works? https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.kde.dolphin
Thanks for your recommendation. There is no problem on latest flathub version.
Worth cross-checking Bug 418590 which covers the case when opening a "tag folder" view. It didn't used to work... Situation now... On Neon User Edition Dolphin : 20.12.3 Plasma : 5.21.2 Frameworks : 5.79.0 I see the tags, ratings, comment populated in the details view when viewing a filesystem folder and also works when I look at tags:/nice. Fedora 33 also works... On Fedora 32 Dolphin : 20.04.1 Plasma : 5.18.5 Frameworks : 5.73.0 I see the tags, ratings, comment populated in the details view of a filesystem folder but do not see them when I look at tags:/nice. I'd say this was an issue, has probably been sorted and I should update Bug 418590
For completeness... You need to have baloo enabled to have the tags, ratings, comment columns populated
thanks, I did not know that. I have baloo disabled.
(In reply to martinandersen from comment #5) > thanks, I did not know that. I have baloo disabled. It seems to be a moving target and you're likely to see different behaviour in different versions. I was looking at Neon Testing... https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406506#c18
Expanding: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406506#c18 SUMMARY Dolphin decides whether to populate tags, ratings and comments columns depending on the "Indexing-Enabled" value in .config/baloofilerc The information is taken from the filesystem extended attributes, not from the baloo index. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Configure dolphin to display ratings, tags and comments columns Create a testfile and give it a rating and a tag getfattr -d file.txt # file: file.txt user.baloo.rating="4" user.xdg.tags="mytag" In order to prove that dolphin is reading the info direct from the extended attributes and not baloo, disable baloo and delete the index db: balooctl disable rm .local/shared/baloo/index Reboot, check .config/baloofilerc contains: Indexing-Enabled=false and that there are no baloo processes running. Open the folder with dolphin. There's no data displayed Close dolphin. Edit .config/baloofilerc to change: Indexing-Enabled=true Don't do anything else, so still no baloo processes or database OBSERVED RESULTS Check the folder with dolphin The tags and ratings columns are populated. EXPECTED RESULTS The "Indexing-Enabled" setting should not affect whether dolphin displays extended attribute data SYSTEM INFORMATION Neon Testing Plasma : 5.21.3 Frameworks: 5.81.0 Qt : 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It seems that dolphin looks at .config/baloofilerc to see if indexing is enabled. If it is enabled, it populates the extended attribute data from the filesystem. If disabled it shows nothing. A small glitch in the grand scheme of things but will catch people who have had trouble with baloo and disabled it. (The information panel does however show the info)

Created attachment 139136 [details] screenshot dolphin Same here. There's something else. When I filter the tags through the left side bar where all the tags are listed I'm getting multiple entries for one file.

If you are running openSUSE you are probably using the BTRFS filesystem (with multiple sub volumes), have a look at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402154#c13 You are probably getting different minor device numbers each time you reboot, baloo reindexes the files following the new device number/inode (keeping hold of the previous information). Alas, not really much that can be done about this for the moment.
