[opensuse] How to make tags and comment work in Dolphin/Konqueror?
I'm finding that dolphin lacks the ability to add ratings/tags/comments to files that stick around. I can enter them, and they promptly vanish. Baloo is enabled and running. I have kio slaves in there.

how do you enter comments in, say, jpeg files? I could do this in the past but not now (not with Dolphin) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

In dolphin, press F11 and you'll get a panel on the side. There are fields tags' and 'comments' where you are prompted to add. Click on them and popup appears where you can enter as appropriate. Do so. It doesn't stick around. The tags are not associated with the file. You can't search by tags. If, perhaps, you are talking about the exif information embedded inside jpeg files, that is quite another matter and nothing to do with this. Getting dolphin to display exif information is a separate issue. it is not what I'm asking about. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

1. Not they are not. When I close the popup there no tag indicator appears next to the icon. The panel on the right does not display the tags, is still say "enter tags" (or comments" rather than displaying. Thi is not how it used to be in previous revision. 2. WTF is 'genview'? http://software.opensuse.org/search turns up nothing

yes it is. The right dolphin window display exifs
Not with the version I'm running. Information for package dolphin: -------------------------------- Repository: KDE_Current Name: dolphin Version: 14.12.3-8.13 Arch: x86_64 Vendor: obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 2.9 MiB Summary: KDE File Manager Description: This package contains the default file manager of KDE 4. You aren't by any chance a KDE3 user?
but may be you have to install exifstools? I have them because i do much tag editing (with digikam)
Yes, I have exif tools, yes i have digikam though I prefer darktable. What I'm discussing here is not just image files but files in general. I should be able to tag any file, add a comment to any file and have it show up in Dolphin. This has NOTHING to do with the exif type information embedded in the file. As it happens, even when I use dolphin to look at flders of my heavily edited photographs, raw and processes, for which I've enhanced the exif information, for example to add copyright, dolphin does not display the exif information. It MAY have to do with baloo and all that. But can we please leave image specific and exif out of this thread. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

V14.12.3 http://dodin.org/owncloud/index.php/s/Nke0J4sBq9TCdl1 I closed dolphin (but not rebooted, can it be in ram?), reopenned it and the comment is still there ("TEST"), and also in gwenview, the default jpg viewer
information, for example to add copyright, dolphin does not display the exif information.
for me it do, as the maker's name (SONY), he can take only from exifs (or iptc, meta data)

But can we please leave image specific and exif out of this thread.
yes, I see, but my dolphin keeps the info, including other files, but this is not associated with the file itself (not kept with copy), so of little use for me. I'm just curious to know where this info is stored. I have also Baloo, but if it's Baloo, why is it impossible to search for these tags? and I looked at photos only because I never has the idea to comment other kind of files :-) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

OK now do that with a-not-an-image-file Set dolphin up with a .zip .tar.gz file and add some tags as well. Show me that. Please forget about all this image stuff. it gets confused with exif, which is NOT NOT NOT what I'm talking about.

I live in KDE. I want to add comments. I want to have a way to organise files across the way they are organized in directories, that is by tagging. If, as you say, that is of no use to you then OK, but it is of use to me.
I'm just curious to know where this info is stored. I have also Baloo, but if it's Baloo, why is it impossible to search for these tags?
That's part of what I'm asking. I have baloo + various baloo-things loaded and its not doing tags. So where else does it get stored?
and I looked at photos only because I never has the idea to comment other kind of files :-)
Well _some_ files you can meaningfully manipulate with exiftool. Others, such as HTML files have META entries that exiftool will report, for example see http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/HTML.html or http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/ZIP.html#GZIP BUT PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE NOT NOT NOT writable. They are just using exiftool to report META information. You can't use exiftool to 'comment' these, but you should be able to add comments and tags in dolphin which can be used for searching using the tag://tag&&tag syntax. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

By the way, Anton, if you can't modify the file, It appears you can't comment / tag /star it either. Test done on any random file in /etc, as user me, I couldn't touch them. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You are really hung up on exif and graphics. Please let go. I am NOT repeat NOT talking about exif data. Exif data is Dm independent. The exif information in a jpen or similar will show up and be editable using exiftool whatever the DM, whatever the OS. I'm talking about something very KDE specific. Gwenview - I presume you had a typo earlier - is irrelevant in this context. I should be able to tag files in dolphin regardless of the file type,, .zip, .doc, .html. .xlx, .md, .jar, .exe. I can't meaningfully use gwenview on those, even when it doesn't error-exit. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

and, by the way, it survived reboot. just an idea, it's not stored in the file. it's lost in copy. May be it needs local file system. Is you file NFS or any external file system? I just tested: I write a file on a usb HDD, write a note there. the note is seen in the panel, but desapear as soon as the file is no more selected (use the arrows to select an other file, go back... no more) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Forget exif. Forget jpegs. Try to add comments to a script, word document, pgp encripted file... anything whatsoever. This is not exif. It is a desktop feature. Or a file browser feature. The data can be stored in a hidden file in the directory, or in a central database. In Nautilus, you can add "tags" to files or directories.

like baloo?

I recall doing this in Konqueror in the days before Dolphin. Perhaps the KDE-3 enthusiasts will tell us if it can still be done there. Searching the web for this for KDE4 I'm seeing mixed messages, some can and some can't and those that can go on about stuff like baloo but can't just why it works for them and help the people for whom it doesn't work. well that's what I've found so far. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

yes works for me on local file system, not on usb hard drive, but I see no hidden file. I see that baloo can index removable supports, I wonder the index size (I have a 3.5Tb disk) it could be usefull if it could be moved with the file (during backup, for example) and (again), looking at it in gwenview simply shows that gwenview can see this comment, not related to exif, and so there is some kde system that allows sharing, out of dolphin. https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=121758 to see, I installed "milou", but this added a hundred more libraries!! and didn't seems to change many things I hope I wont have a 20 Gb .local like I did some time ago :-( Well, at least I can display the comment in the file line (detail display).

Yes, I see tags and comments marked for viewing. But I don't see how to edit/add them. I have a menu that says "control". On it, an entry says "additional information". The entries for Tags, Comments, and Ratings, are grayed. I right click on a file, properties. I don't see where to add tags or comments. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Ah, yes. I don't have them. That's it. I have to try on another machine. This laptop doesn't have the full kde environment. And I don't know if desktop search is enabled.

Well, I have seen it in MsDOS... I think it was a Norton utility that did it. Or an utility from pc magazine in assembler, I don't remember. It is a feature that many file browsers have done one way or the other over the years. If now there is an agreement on how to do it, that would be fantastic!

yes it is. The right dolphin window display exifs
it is somewhere kde knows, because gwenview displays it also (bottom left, semantic informations)
but I can't find it in digikam not exiftools :-(. It's not in the file, because copying the file do not keep it.
searching for a match in .local, I find one in DB files (searching for TEST)
in he info panel, it's mixed with exif data... should not if not recorded to exifs!
jdd
It is only a subset of the exif-data that is shown when hovering the file or in the right info panel. Not all exif info can be selected in the settings. Also exif data is mixed with other data (like file owner, for example). The exif info about "Copyright" is not selectable or visible. I lamented about the lack of this IMO important data years ago, when dolphin replaced konqueror. If I remember correct I even put a bug report... For this reason I never use the right panel. I just looked at it now for this thread to check if things have changed to the better.

I'm finding that dolphin lacks the ability to add ratings/tags/comments to files that stick around. I can enter them, and they promptly vanish.
how do you enter comments in, say, jpeg files? I could do this in the past but not now (not with Dolphin)
In dolphin, press F11 and you'll get a panel on the side.
There are fields tags' and 'comments' where you are prompted to add. Click on them and popup appears where you can enter as appropriate.
Do so.
It doesn't stick around. The tags are not associated with the file. You can't search by tags.
If, perhaps, you are talking about the exif information embedded inside jpeg files, that is quite another matter and nothing to do with this.
Getting dolphin to display exif information is a separate issue. it is not what I'm asking about.
For the record, this is working for me on 13.2. (Using your method) I can click the star ratings, and they stay. I can click comments, add a comment, and it stays. I can Add tags as well. In Dolphin, I can click the "Find" Binoculars from the tool bar, Select Content, From Anywhere, and a Number of stars radio button, and I will get an instant list of only those files/folders with stars checked. (All of this is on my own machine's filesystem, no NAS or anything like that involved. Partitions are xfs if that matters) - -- _____________________________________ - ---This space for rent--- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlU5SYUACgkQv7M3G5+2DLKY0QCghkxr9/NKmoFkeLAVPEp7UWyn h0cAnjIR2Hr8mr5yVzmLjrBfsoJlHuYH =SV8u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It might... the relevant menu entries in my Dolphin are grayed out, and I'm using reiserfs on this laptop. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
