Dolphin (KDE 24.04) does not display the exif data of pics

[kasch]

Maybe this is related to this bug, maybe I am too stupid to configure this view.
In the KUbuntu 22.04 I can see the exif data from a picture in the info panel on the right side.

Kubuntu: 22.04
KDE Plasma: 5.24.7
Framework: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
Graphics Platform: X11

With KUbuntu 24.04 Dolphin shows some basic information, but not the exif data of the picture.

Kubuntu: 24.04
KDE Plasma: 5.27.12
Framework: 5.115.0
Qt Version: 5.15.13
Graphics Platform: X11

Could I configure it somewhere?

Right click that panel>settings ( einstellen?)

@dzon, Thanks for your reply. I have tried it, but unfortunately I can only set which basic info should be displayed.

Think it’s a baloo thing. I’ll leave it to the experts.

That’s a packaging issue in Kubuntu.
Baloo-widgets seems to not work properly.
Maybe you just need to install baloo package if not installed.

you will need to turn on indexing and add the folders where you want access to the meta data.

type “file search” on to the desktop and go to the settings page.

check the first two boxes, but not the hidden files.

then click on the + start button to add your folder(s)… ignore the home folder that you cannot deleted as it doesn’t seem to do anything and is known bug.

add each folder or mounted drive you want to index, it will work recursively below that but will not work if you add /home due to the bug, so don’t do that.

let it run for couple of days and the meta data will start to populate.

more info can be found at balooctl -h, balooshow -h, and baloosearch -h in a terminal window.

@skyfishgoo, thanks for this post. This is the solution I was looking for.
