Bug ID: 493896
Summary: Highlighting groups of files in Dolphin does not
synchronise with Info Panel
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: panels: information
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tagwer...@innerjoin.org
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If you highlight a group of files in Dolphin and then try to apply a tag or
change a rating in the F11 Information Panel, sometimes the change is
applied to all of your highlighted files, sometimes just one. The
information panel
does not recognise that you have selected a group of files, you need to
manually refresh.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1...
For adding a xattr tag - Move to a folder with several files, open the
information panel.
2...
Open a terminal and confirm that the files do not have tags added
$ getfattr -d *
3...
Select a handful of files in Dolphin, move mouse to the information
panel, open the Tags "Edit" dialog and assign a tag "mytag":
4...
Repeat the "getfattr -d *" to check whether the tag has been added
to all the files
5...
It may be worth, with the same selection of files, adding a second tag
OBSERVED RESULT:
Often, despite Dolphin highlighting your selection of files, that tag is
only
added to one file. The behaviour appears unpredictable.
You also see this behaviour if you highlight a group of files and change
the rating.
EXPECTED RESULT:
The information panel should recognise when a group of files are
highlighted.
This seems not to happen - or at least not reliably.
Highlighted files should be considered selected when editing tags or
ratings. This
is how Dolphin behaves when moving or copying files - the highlighted files
moved or copied.
Adding a tag to a selection of files works *if* you select the group you
want, move
to the Information Panel and press F5. This refreshes the Panel and you
will see
it change to say "X items selected". You can then edit tags or change
ratings for
the selection of files.
