[hardy KDE4] dolphin doesn't store comment and rating of directories and textfiles

[clutz]

I've got a new installation of kubuntu 8.04 (KDE4 version) with the german language selected. My dolphin doesn't store the new metadata rating and comment for all types of files that I already tried: directories and textfiles.

Here is how to reproduce:

1) log in as a user (note: this also happens if the account is new!)

2) start dolphin (K->Favorites->Dolphin)

3) doubleklick the folder Videos

4) create a new Textfile "test" (rightclick)

5) enter a comment and a rating in the right column of dolphin

6) go back to the home-dir

7) go back to Videos/test

8) see that the metainfo is no longer displayed in dolphins right column

whereas setting keywords for the file test (and restoring the keywords for the file) works fine.

I can confirm this with the latest Hardy.

I can't reproduce this on my Hardy Kubuntu-KDE4 install.
Can you check that kded4 is running? Are there any errors in dolphin (possibly at the bottom in the status bar)?

I started dolphin via konsole and got the following output when accessing the my testfile:

I can confirm this. Fresh Hardy kde4-install with German language.

This all works with KDE 4.1 beta2.
