there is a program called "KInfocentre" or K-Info-Center and there is a File Indexer Monitor tab that displays one line of balooctl monitor, shows balooctl status as a progress-bar and a button that you can press to suspend it. why should that button be moved to systemsettings? Because KInfoCenter should only show information, not change settings.

I agree that the button should be moved to systemsettings. That button is the only one in KInfocentre that changes a setting, and it's out of place there. The setting is also missing from systemsettings where you change settings. *** Bug 413833 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Hi, any news on this? I know, it's not that urgent (as we are not talking about a major bug or the like), but nevertheless this issue exists for quite some time now and it would be really nice to see it resolved for upcoming Plasma LTS version... ...especially as we claim that usability is one of our main focuses these days. Thx & regards, Gerhard I've submitted a patch that adds this feature: https://phabricator.kde.org/D25447 (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6) > I've submitted a patch that adds this feature: > https://phabricator.kde.org/D25447 Very nice! Thank you! Nate Graham working on this. I can imagine a 'dial like' widget in the corner of the screen, showing concentrically the number of files found and the number indexed. Something to show that baloo had seen changes and was catching up with the indexing. ... File under "wishlist" :-) A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/427 (In reply to tagwerk19 from comment #9) > ... the number of files found and the number indexed ... On reflection, the number still to be indexed. Something you see peaking after doing a change and then gradually dropping as baloo_file_extractor catches up. The "flag you want to wave" is when the number of files to be indexed stops dropping. > ... File under "wishlist" :-) Might also be nice to have indexing "CPU load" visible. That should also peak and drop... Git commit ce0c3fead0ec1aa5d8bd6a627bb61db803e83974 by Nate Graham. Committed on 20/04/2021 at 18:57. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. [kcms/baloo] Allow monitoring, suspending, and resuming indexing The KCM now allows you to monitor indexing status and pause and resume it. Most of this code is lifted straight from the file indexing monitor InfoCenter KCM, which becomes largely redundant with this, and we could consider removing it.
