Yesterday I reinstalled Arch Linux because boot problems.
Now both "balooshow " command and dolphin show metainfo for png and
jpg files located in my home. Weird.

@XYQuadrat
No, it is still broken. I have already rebooted since my message in #11 and I
was working with computer like usually. Then decided to check status.
For files that already were there (lets call them "old") meta info was shown,
but for files that are newly created (lets call them "new") meta info was
missing.
Toggling searching on and off several times did not help.
But after I removed ~/.local/share/baloo/index and
~/.local/share/baloo/index-lock, meta info appeared for new files.
So, looks like periodically removing those files could be a workaround. Maybe
one time per reboot, need test it.

As I could understand, it does not matter if searching is turned on or off.
Meta info appeared even when it was off.

Okay, so even though I am not sure what is causing this bug but I would like to
explain how Dolphin can display metadata. First, there is some basic
information (such as file size & type) which Dolphin can extract on its own.
This information is also shown in your cases (at least according to the video
from Ashark). But for more specific metadata (such as image size, or an album
artist), Dolphin relies on baloo, which also provides desktop search for you. 

Now @Ashark, about your latest comment:
1. the metadata is indeed remembered, you would need to delete your index under
~/.local/share/baloo/index
2. So it works now for you? It's normal that it takes ~20 seconds until
metadata is shown, because baloo needs to index the file, extract all metadata
and then Dolphin can access it

@Dr. Chapatin, your problem seems more complicated. I frankly have no idea what
could cause the fact that .png's work while .jpg's don't (unless the png was
simply indexed before this bug was introduced).

Here "balooctl status" says
Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Indexing file content
Indexed 189 / 190 files
Current size of index is 89,45 MiB

just for curiosity, I tested here on Arch Linux.
"balooshow " says "No index information found"
no matter if the file is located in my home or in my NTFS partition.
But metainfo is available when file location is my NTFS partition and
unvailable when located in my home.

In manjaro they use exactly the same package for dolphin as in arch.
I have just compared md5sum of arch's and manjaro's
dolphin-17.12.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz file and they are both
1ee7c1b7286a22e6a8eb2ca2df93fba2
So perhaps problem is not dolpnin itself, but some component, which is used by
dolphin to show that meta information.

Maybe this bug is somehow related to method of compiling in different
distributions?
I have just done a test. Installed manjaro 17.1.2 kde edition to virtualbox and
it noticed that meta info is shown for both jpeg and png files in home
location.

I can confirm on Arch Linux, Dolphin 17.12.1.
Height and width info are missing when the file (jpg or png) is located in home
folder. The same info is available when the same file is placed in my NTFS
partition.

On my neon dev unstable only jpg files are affected.
Info panel shows height and width of png files in home folder.

Thanks for the quick response. I thought that this bug might happen because
baloo  (the file indexer from KDE) had a problem picking up the metadata of
your files in the home directory. I don't know what else could cause this
problem, but maybe someone else can.

Thank you for info.

Yes, I am sure. Home dir is not listed there. There are /var partition and

Interesting, but on excluded partition (/mnt/exchange) I _can_ see width and
height for images, but on not excluded (/home) I cannot.
Bug still reproduses in Dolphin version 17.12.1

It did not help. Output was
Indexing /home/andr/
File(s) indexed
Why do you think that this bug is related to searchung?

Hey there, to view all your excluded folders do the following:
1. Open up the System Settings
2. Choose Search -> File Search
3. There should be a table that shows you which folders are not indexed

If you are sure that the home folder is not excluded, try this:
1. Open up a terminal 
2. Type "balooctl index ~/" (without the quotation marks)
3. Paste the output here.

Thanks for taking the time to help & triage this bug :)

Did you maybe exclude your home directory from indexed folders?
