Description Equinox 2025-02-23 17:17:21 UTC
Hi, I would like to make a small feature request for Dolphin which I find very useful for sorting files when I used to have macOS. 

I use to read a lot, so when I finished a book in macOS I marked it with a green tag and the ones I didn't finish I marked with a red tag and having the visual help helped me a lot. 

In Plasma I have tried using the tags but they don't show any visual help and it almost looks like I didn't put a tag until I see the properties of the file I added it to. 

I would find it very useful to add this feature to Dolphin, it seems to me an extremely useful tool. 
Here is a video of how the tags behave in macOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dgsyVlDN9E&t=191s

P.S. This is my first time on this platform and so I hope I wrote in the right place for the feature request. If not, sorry, where do I do it?

Though dolphin does have a tag feature, it does seem to be missing the majority of the functionality shown in the video like you said. you can enable showing the tags in hamburger menu > show additional information > tags, but this does not stay in place across the board or achieve the functionality mentioned. also, this is the right place and you did mark it appropriately, although you may want to add your version number when making reports (wishlist or otherwise) in the future. marking as confirmed.
