Bug ID: 454952
Summary: Summary: Tag and Tag Folder Papercuts
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tagwer...@innerjoin.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY:
A review of Dolphin/Baloo issues with tags and tag folders. These are
generally minor
things but with the prospect of being annoying, forcing workrounds or
different
workflows. These things that are often labelled "Papercuts".
The aim of this bug it to provide a summary that can be referred to with
new
tag/tag folder bugs.
ISSUES:
Reports can however be grouped in four areas:
A dependency on baloo and tripping up when dealing with non-indexed
folders (including remote storage), collected under Comment 1
Multiple ways of doing something, complexity and necessary workrounds;
collected under Comment 2
Papercuts, traps for the unwary and different ways of losing data, see
Comment 3
Caching and refreshing tag information, see Comment 4
There's also a problem of distinguishing between embedded tags (as are held
within image and music files, EXIF and ID3 data) and file attributes (that
are
"about" a file in the same way as a "Last modified date" is "about" a
file).
This summary is written in the context of someone trying to organise their
files and
discovering there's no "right place" to store something. A file, except if
using hard
and symbolic links, lives in one folder. Tags give the option to place a
file in
several folders - or "tag folders".
The summary is in the context of navigating your data through Dolphin which
provides
a magnificent and mostly seamless interface to tagged information.
