            Bug ID: 389692
           Summary: Changes in xattr metadara (rating, tags, etc) do not
                    appear immediately. Auto-refresh is needed.
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 17.12.1
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Created attachment 110262
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=110262&action=edit
First example

Reproducible always.
I tested this on the latest KDE Neon Developer edition.

First example with steps to reproduce:
- Open Dolphin and navigate to the parent-folder of our target file (the file
we are going to change).
- Select the file so that the "Information Panel" will appear.
- Set a rating to the file through the "Information Panel" of Dolphin
- The new rating will NOT appear immediately in the "Rating" column  <--
PROBLEM
- The new rating will appear in the "Rating" column only after a refresh (F5)
occurs.

Please note that this issue applies to both files and folders. 

This issue also seems to affect the results in baloosearch. If the user changes
a rating and does not refresh (F5), then the baloosearch displays the old
(wrong) results.
If the user refreshes, then baloosearch shows the new (correct) results.

Second example with steps to reproduce:
- Set the "Rating" of a folder to "3"
- Open Dolphin
- Press the Find button to start a baloosearch
- Select "3 or more" from the available options
- The folder should appear in the results
- Right click on the folder and open it in a new window
- Change the rating of the folder through the "Information Panel" of Dolphin.
Set it to "1". Do NOT refresh.
- Go back to the baloosearch window. The folder still appears even though we
have the "3 or more" selected.  <-- PROBLEM
- Select the "1 or more" from the available options. The folder appears here. 
<-- this is correct
- Select again the "3 or more" from the available options. The folder still
appears here.  <-- PROBLEM

I would recommend that an auto refresh is invoked after every metadata change.
I think this could be the easiest and smartest solution.
