Description Brallan Aguilar 2019-09-28 03:09:20 UTC 
SUMMARY
Baloo ignores some files with specific extensions (eg. *.json, *.h, *.cpp)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start the Baloo monitor to check changes ($ balooctl monitor)
2. Create a file with the extension json, h or cpp in a folder that Baloo is allowed to index
3. The file is not indexed

OBSERVED RESULT
The file is not indexed because the monitor does not show it. As a consequence, is not found by KRunner when the Desktop Search plugin is enabled

EXPECTED RESULT
The file should be indexed, if it is not excluded by the exclude filters (~/.config/baloofilerc)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma (available in About System):
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.61.0
Qt Version: 5.13.0

You can edit the list of excluded files with "balooctl config".

There is no GUI for this currently, but thats a feature request, not a bug.

The indexer is working as intended/configured.
