Bug ID: 410114
Summary: Always display files properties
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: stefan.bru...@rwth-aachen.de
Reporter: better...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
File properties are not displayed for unindexed files if indexation is on. When
indexing is disabled on the given media, file properties are visible instantly.
Why do I need to activate re-indexing manually or restart my system if
indexation is enabled to see additional metadata in new files? Maybe it would
be possible to display properties without waiting also in the case of
indexation enabled? I mentioned about this in the bug 409876 and bug 409881. As
Nate Graham told: "What might make sense is to always display the
KFileMetadata-extracted properties during indexing, and then only replace that
information with the Baloo-extracted information for each individual file as
it gets indexed. That would definitely be a nice UX improvement.". Thanks for
looking at it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure if indexing is turned on at the main disk, if not, turn it on
2. Wait to indexing end
3. Download file with additional metadata (e.g. this photo with EXIF:
https://github.com/ianare/exif-samples/blob/master/jpg/Canon_40D.jpg) and save
it on main disk (not external)
4. Open Dolphin and find downloaded file
5. Right click -> Properties
OBSERVED RESULT
Only standard properties are visible: file type, size, modification time, tags,
stars and comments.
EXPECTED RESULT
Standard properties + some other metadata like camera model and so on
