Dolphin Version 26.04.3

Bug or feature?

I have image files with exif keywords like this

Checking the file properties in dolphin though only seems to show the Subject “Thema” (at the bottom) but not the Keywords “Stichwörter”

I was hoping to use the keyword/tag list and search in Dolphin.

What am I missing?

thanks

go to settings > file search

kubuntu does not index files by default, you need to enable it.

also enable file contents to get at the metadata, but do NOT enable hidden files.

as long as your files are not tucked into a hidden directory they will be indexed and the contents will populate your columns in dolphin.

it may take a day to fully populate as baloo (the file indexer) is designed to run in the background so as not to be intrusive.

if you are using snap in kubuntu, i also recommend that you add the ~/snap folder to the folders section and mark it as Excluded, since there is nothing in there worth indexing and it’s not automatically excluded like all the hidden folders.

Thank you but Baloo is already on and indexing

And all other exif/meta data is there in the properties. What is special with the Keywords?

Btw, arch-based EndeavourOS, KDE native packages

take a look at balooctl config list

exploring the excludeFilters and excludeMimetypes to see if maybe what you are trying to index it getting caught in there.
