Bug ID: 418590
Summary: Displaying fields and Sorting items in a Tag Folder
Product: dolphin
Version: 19.12.3
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tagwer...@innerjoin.org
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY:
In Dolphin, when opening a folder, it's possible to pick and choose columns
to be displayed and to be able to sort items based on that information.
When opening a tag folder (for example tags:/mytag), fields that are set in
the extended attributes can be selected as columns but many of these fields are
not populated
For example, comments are shown in a detailed list view, of say,
~/Pictures. However, if the files are tagged, say with 'mytag', and Dolphin is
displaying tags:/mytag, the comments are not displayed. Similarly for Tags (see
Bug 356062), Path, Rating, Link Destination.
The implication is that if these properties are not displayed, then sorting
on these values is not possible.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Create three folders under ~/Pictures: 2020-02-10, 2020-02-11 and
2020-02-12
2. Create image files in these folders, imagine they have come from a
couple of different cameras that give their images different format names.
Here:
~/Pictures/2020-02-10/image1.png
~/Pictures/2020-02-11/picture1.png
~/Pictures/2020-02-11/picture2.png
~/Pictures/2020-02-12/image2.png
3. Tag all these images with a tag "mytag"
4. Open the tags:/mytag/ folder and attempt to sort the images in the above
sequence
OBSERVED RESULTS:
There's not an option that will necessarily do this. 'Sort by name' will
order the 'image' files before the 'picture' files, a 'sort by create date'
sorts by the time the file was copied onto (or subsequently edited on) the
computer, not all files have EXIF data.
DESIRED STATE:
The desired state is that files selected by a tag can be sorted by their
(on filesystem) directory/filename.
Ideally it should be possible to display a 'canonical directory/filename'.
There are options to show the 'Path' or 'Link Destination' but these are not
populated, I assume 'Path' ought to show the 'tags:/mytag' and 'Link
Destination' potentially ~/Pictures/2020-02-10/image1.png. I've not found any
documentation that defines that.
