Hi,
For some time every opening of the File Dialog is preceded by the subject message. It’s just an annoyance, yet I’d like to get rid of it. I was not able to discover exactly this case. I can’t even guess what the tags folder is

Welcome to Manjaro!
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which CPU/GPU or Kernel, … you have without typing it every time
Thanks! Are you really sure you want all of this? Some uuids below cleaned up manually, if it makes any difference . DE: KDE + i3-gaps.

I can’t either - but KDE employs some indexing functionality which makes it possible to tag files for easier retrieval.
I am not a KDE user - so I have no indepth knowledge - my guess is that you have been altering a setting which instructs the indexer and file dialog to search for tags as well as filenames.

looks good.llama2
)Do you really want a screenshot? It’s a plain message dialog with an OK button. It pops up ahead of any KDE File Dialog (with Okular, Konqueror, Gwenview, etc.; not with Geany, for instance).
With another (specially created) user the subj won’t happen.
So you have an issue in your user profile and finding out which exact setting you changed is going to take weeks if not months, so we’re going to do the following:
Verify that the new user has access to the same groups as your old one by executing groups and comparing the output of both users.
groups llama
groups llama2
(Where obviously, llama
is your old user and llama2
is your new one.)
E.G. if llama
is a member of operator
and llama2
isn’t, execute:
usermod --append --groups operator llama2
Copy all data files from your old profile into your new one
cp --verbose --recursive --preserve=time-stamps /home/llama/Documents/* /home/llama2/Documents/
If that worked and you had no errors, remove the documents from your old user:
rm --recursive /home/llama/Documents/*
repeat for:
Pictures
Videos
Music
.thunderbird
.mozilla/firefox/
~/.local/share/
E.G. ~/.local/share/wesnoth/
After everything has been copied over, disable the old user so you cannot accidentally log on:
usermod --lock llama
If you would have theming going on, don’t do everything in one day but do this at the rate of 1 application / theme / whatever per day and if the same issue crops up again, roll back your last change and thus you’ve now pinpointed the exact setting that made your old user misbehave.
in 1 month delete the entire home directory of your old user, but don’t delete the user itself so that in 6 months time files still owned by that user will still show up under its username.
If you ever migrate to a new machine, just don’t migrate the old user: only the new one.
From now on, start making backups so you can roll back and never have to do this again:
Are you prescribing a shave with a guillotine for my running nose? I’ll have to assume the proper attitude first, I’m afraid
Your comment rang a bell . A while ago I turned off File Search (baloo_file process) in a not-so-successful attempt to diminish the CPU load. I turned it back on; no more trouble with the tags folder.
Now the real question reads like this: how should I turn off File Search the right way?
No, I’m prescribing a quick shave with a shaver instead of epilation with a tweezer.
Try: balooctl purge
or/and disable baloo and then balooctl purge
maybe: rm ~/file.desktop ??? I don’t know what helped me.
Sometimes it’s quicker, easier, less messy and in general better to start from scratch than it is to troubleshoot something…and that amount of effort and time spent varies from situation to situation and person to person.
You’re telling the wrong person. I’m not OP and I agree.
Yeah, just left it out there.
