SUMMARY: If Baloo is configured to index hidden files, it will repeatedly indexes the 'vim' temporary file (of the format .filename.swp) STEPS TO REPRODUCE: Configure baloo to index hidden files balooctl config set hidden true and run balooctl monitor in a second window, find a large text file, open with 'vi', wander round, change things but don't save the file. OBSERVED RESULTS While editing the file, notice that the .swp file repeated appears in the balooctl monitor output EXPECTED RESULTS Would not expect baloo to index the file contents, it is probably overkill... (and a .testfile.swp is binary, or at least not text/plain) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Appending .*.swp to the "exclude filters" list stops the content indexing (but also the filename indexing...). Perhaps this should be added to the default exclusions As a "wishlist thing", it would be nice to be able to limit the content indexing independently from the filename/metadata indexing. Following some of the other Bugzilla threads, it seems this is possible with "exclude mimetypes" rather than "exclude filters" but I somehow wonder if that is accidental...
