The Details View Mode shows information for certain columns like Type, Size, Path, Created, etc. But doesn't show information for Artist, Genre, Word Count, etc. To enable the output in this section we need to to enable Baloo so that it can index files. Unfortunately I'm unable to make Dolphin show the output of files. Information does appear on the Information Panel section but this is not usable to me because I need to select multiple files and move them around. Operating System: Kubuntu 21.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
---UPDATE--- I made it work by disabling and purging BalooCTL $ balooctl disable $ balooctl purge We also need to make sure to tick "Also Index File Content" on SystemSettings After the database has been purged, we need to enable Baloo again: $ balooctl enable I think it would be a lot helpful if Baloo had Tooltips explaining how Baloo works.
Have a look at Bug 406506, where the columns are not populated if baloo is disabled/baloo index deleted. You need to enable content indexing to extract ID3 tags, such as duration. They are "within" the file and the file needs to opened and read to extract them. Dolphin reads this info from the baloo index (that is, from one place) rather than trying to extract the embedded info from each file.
