Running Manjaro KDE, and have an odd situation. Say I have a few music files (FLAC, mp3) in a folder. I navigate to said folder with the Dolphin file manager, then select a few audio-related columns to be displayed in Dolphin, such as Bitrate, Duration, Artist, etc., but these columns remain blank in Dolphin, even though when I examine the metadata of my music files, it shows all these fields are correctly populated.
Any reason why this should be happening?
Same here, just checked.
Dolphin Version: 21.08.1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.14.2-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Well, phooey, I figured it out, and I don’t like the “solution”.
You need to have indexing enabled (“File Search”) and file content indexed.
Rebuild the search index, with file content enabled, let it run and complete for your home folder (might take a while). Once it’s finished, try again with Dolphin. (Might have to log out one time if it doesn’t work immediately after the indexing completes.)
Thanks so much for your help, winnie, I am not crazy about it either, think I will do without the information on these Dolphin columns, there’s always a roundabout way to get that.

TBF Dolphin columns sucks for Audio - but if you set each folder to remember settings, you can simply open the info panel for Audio folders.

Forum Rules - Old Threads/“Necro-Bumping”
Posting in old threads, or “necrobumping” is generally discouraged in the technical issue subforums, since it can potentially create disjointed “zombie” information; outdated posts with data which is no longer relevant due to Manjaro’s rolling nature, combined with more recent posts reflecting more current circumstance.
Furthermore, technical support threads should remain succinct, and multiple pages are to be avoided if possible
Wow, sorry - confused. Actually I was just looking at this:
