Dolphin: show images and video details

I’ve been using Kubuntu 24.10 recently, and I can confirm I have the same problem as the OP. And I do miss that details tab.

So, what I didn’t quite get from this thread, is this just a Kubuntu problem or a KDE Plasma 6.1.5 problem? And is it anyhow solvable without changing distros?

I have an old Fedora 40 iso with Plasma 6.0.3 lying around which I booted as a live CD to check this, so unless this thing is a bug that concerns 6.1 and not 6.0 -which I doubt- it looks to me like a Kubuntu issue. In Fedora 40 the details of the video and the Details tab are there and baloo is disabled (ofc) by default. :person_shrugging: . But one could ask that in the Kubuntu forums I suppose.

And is it anyhow solvable without changing distros?

According to skyfishgoo who is using Kubuntu this is fixable if you enable baloo and keep it running. (I don’t as it used to be a real resource hog in the past, it could write GBs of data and trash the SSD if you didn’t pay attention on how to configure it properly, and I don’t need its functionality, my search is fast anyway without it and with Dophin’s handy “Filter”). Other than that waiting 2 months for the next Kubuntu release I suppose.

it’s a kubuntu development track problem with 24.10.
24.04 LTS has the tab and i don’t know about indexing but you need it on 22.04.

25.04 is only weeks away, so i’ll know soon enough, i suppose… unless i bail

getting closer to going back to 24.04 every day.

Yeah, I’m considering changing distros again, since this is not the only bug I’m experiencing here… :sweat_smile:
But I’m too busy for distro hopping lately, so I’ll see, maybe I’ll just wait for the 25.04 upgrade too, and see if it’s any better.
