Description lukebenes 2017-01-11 06:55:08 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. $ git clone https://github.com/Antergos/Cnchi.git
2. logout/login

7. logout/login
8. $ balooctl status

I left my computer with only 3GB of RAM running over night after cloning a repo. In the morning it was thrashing swap so hard, it was nearly impossible to use. Adding the repo to the "Do not Search List" was a temp. workaround. 

There must be a memory leak in baloo_file_extractor, because it was taking up nearly all of my systems RAM. It also uses 100% of CPU time.

Almost certainly fixed by https://cgit.kde.org/baloo.git/commit/?id=7529727e46242d2fdd71c4e8c92363600373fcb6 in KDE Frameworks 5.47.

If you can still reproduce the issue with KDE Frameworks 5.47 (or preferably 5.52 or later), please re-open the bug. Thanks!
