Description Nate Graham 2021-01-15 22:06:14 UTC
Bug 430891, Bug 430273, and Bug 430435 are all fixed in Frameworks 5.68--provided that you do a full re-index.

However there is no mechanism to do that automatically, so people with Frameworks 5.78 are still experiencing these bugs. Then they file bug reports, and we tell them to do a `balooctl purge`, which helps. This should probably be done automatically.

Perhaps on every version change that might affect baloo search. Though it would be best to prompt the user somehow as some may have large indexes that are already working and don't want a full re-index done which could take hours if they have a large collection of files.

Still run into this issue, cf:
     https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438850#c12
Think it's worth flagging "Confirmed"

Could perhaps make use of the "dbVersion" and bump it on a significant change.

Seemingly would catch people upgrading from Debian 10 to Debian 11
... Frameworks 5.54 to 5.78
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2022-11-30 17:09:54 UTC
At this point everyone should be using 5.78 or later, and unfortunately it's pretty clear we're not going to action this. Closing.
