SUMMARY

    Dolphin decides whether to populate tags, ratings and comments
    columns depending on the "Indexing-Enabled" value in
    .config/baloofilerc

    The information is taken from the filesystem extended attributes,
    not from the baloo index.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

    Configure dolphin to display ratings, tags and comments columns

    Create a testfile and give it a rating and a tag

        getfattr -d file.txt
        # file: file.txt
        user.baloo.rating="4"
        user.xdg.tags="mytag"

    In order to prove that dolphin is reading the info direct from
    the extended attributes and not baloo, disable baloo and delete
    the index db:

        balooctl disable
        rm .local/shared/baloo/index

    Reboot, check .config/baloofilerc contains:

        Indexing-Enabled=false

    and that there are no baloo processes running.

    Open the folder with dolphin.

        There's no data displayed

    Close dolphin. Edit .config/baloofilerc to change:

        Indexing-Enabled=true

    Don't do anything else, so still no baloo processes or database

OBSERVED RESULTS

    Check the folder with dolphin
    The tags and ratings columns are populated.

EXPECTED RESULTS

    The "Indexing-Enabled" setting should not affect whether dolphin
    displays extended attribute data

SYSTEM INFORMATION

    Neon Testing
    Plasma : 5.21.3
    Frameworks: 5.81.0
    Qt : 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    It seems that dolphin looks at .config/baloofilerc to see if indexing
    is enabled. If it is enabled, it populates the extended attribute
    data from the filesystem. If disabled it shows nothing.

    A small glitch in the grand scheme of things but will catch people who
    have had trouble with baloo and disabled it.

    (The information panel does however show the info)
