SUMMARY *** If "Show additional information" -> "Ratings" is checked, existing file ratings are only shown in the info panel, but not in the file view as expected (only the default five empty stars appear). Also, "Sort by" -> "Rating" does not has any affect. It seems that ratings are correctly stored and shown in the info panel, but are otherwise ignored. This used to work, it is therefore probably a regression. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Dolphin, assign rating of a random file by selecting that file and clicking into the rating field in the info panel (e.g., to assign five stars). 2. A: Select "Menu" -> "Show additional information" -> "Rating". B: Select "Menu" -> "Sort by" -> "Rating". OBSERVED RESULT A. The file view shows 0 stars for that file, while the info panel correctly shows the five stars. B. The file view does not sort by rating, since the ratings are not recognised. EXPECTED RESULT A. The file view should show a rating of five stars. B. The file view should sort by rating.
Update: I found out that this bug only occurs when file search is disabled. This makes it a much more minor issue – but still a problem users may ran into.
