Bug ID: 450171
Summary: KEditTagsDialog: Cannot add new tags to remember for
future indexing files (13/02/2022)
Product: baloo-widgets
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: accessibility
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: linuxflueste...@gmx.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After receiving suggestions to my request (bug: 450006), I was able to work
with the side bar (F11) to check suggested tags from a list and also to add new
tags to this list.
But then I had a problem with duplicate entries of the same file names marked
with tags. This looks like (e.g.):
-The_Monster.mp4
-The_Monster.mp4(1)
Both films are listed in the tags:/ folder ... located in /mnt/NAS/Filme/
though the file is existing only ONE time. I had no idea, why.
So, I tried to resume and restart baloo but this didn't help. No change.
Finally I decided to delete the index and baloo file in my home directory
~/.local/share/baloo. After doing this I resumed baloo, which then rebuilt the
index. I thought, so far, so good. It looked fine.
Then when I went on tagging files again, I also added new tags, which where
check automatically and therefore accepted for the file I tagged. I also
pressed F5 for within the tags:/ folder.
But when I then wanted to tag my next file(s), the just recent added new tag is
not being proposed for selection. On the other hand when I open the file menu
(mouse right click) I can open entry 'Tags' and here my recent added tag IS
existing. I don't understand this really.
And I would really like to know, how can I manually restart an indexing and how
to update the tag list entries? Where is the location of the tag folder, I
don't mean tags:/, I mean the real location on disk.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Using Dolphin.
Pressing F11 (once)
Adding file.
Mark this file.
Select 'tags' from side bar.
Add a new tag (->checked automatically)
Save
Pressing F5
...
Adding file.
Mark file.
Select 'tags' from side bar.
Looking for recent added tag
*** not listed *** ???
When I add the same tag again, this file (and the one before as well) are
listed in the tags:/ folder!
OBSERVED RESULT
Looking for recent added tag
*** not listed *** ???
When opening file menu, Tags, the added tags are shown, regardless if checked
or not
Expected RESULT
Recent added tag should be listed to check for future files

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Consulted Bug: Bug 311204, but not similar.
I consulted bug Bug 401019. I confess that the baloo topic is hard to
understand for me, because of different expressions to my native language. I
know a little about balooctl, and there is a built in baloo search handling in
KDE settings as well.
Can I completely reset baloo, then restart it again with my (old) assigned
folders to receive a successfully working baloo keeping my recently entered
tags in the assigned data folders? What do I need to do to achieve this?
