Bug ID: 468987
Summary: Elisa scan not picking up files from NTFS partition
Classification: Applications
Product: Elisa
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: baloo

Created attachment 158433
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=158433&action=edit
The final result of Elisa data being empty, along with the Elisa and File
Search configs, as well as an example file from the location that's not getting
scanned properly.
SUMMARY
I have a secondary HDD that is formatted as NTFS and contains a "Music" folder
with all my music files. I've mounted the HDD under /media/Data, and symlinked
my ~/Music folder to /media/Data/Music.
After opening Elisa and seeing no music info get picked up by the scan, I went
into the options and saw the notice that symlinks aren't followed, so I removed
~/Music from the location list and added /media/Data/Music. I then forced a
re-scan from Elisa but still nothing showed up. Wondered if it was because the
folder wasn't indexed, so I opened "File Search - System Settings", added the
/media/Data/Music folder with indexing enabled, then rebooted as requested.
After logging back in it said that indexing was completed, but after opening
Elisa and forcing another scan (including a "Reset Database and Re-Scan
Everything" action) still nothing from that folder is getting picked up.
I confirmed that if I search within Dolphin for a music file that exists in
/media/Data/Music it finds it successfully. I also confirmed that I can
manually open files from this location in Elisa and it does play them.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a NTFS partition mounted under /media, with a sub-folder containing
music files.
2. Add the Music sub-folder as an indexed-enabled entry within "File Search -
System Settings".
3. Add the Music sub-folder as a location within "Configure - Elisa".
4. Initiate a scan for new music within Elisa.
OBSERVED RESULT
After initiating a scan within Elisa, nothing from the NTFS partition's Music
folder is populated under Albums/Artists/Tracks/Genres. Can successfully find
files from that Music folder by searching within Dolphin.
EXPECTED RESULT
After initiating a scan within Elisa, the music from the NTFS partition's Music
folder is populated under Albums/Artists/Tracks/Genres.
