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 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon User Edition 5.16.3 (Linux 4.18.0-25-generic) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60.0 Qt Version: 5.12.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
