Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux I have been using Krunner for a long time... since KDE 4.2?? I don't remember ever having a problem of Krunner not having a newly installed app available to launch. But it seems that the last few versions have been extremely slow to index a new app... it may take an hour for the new application to show up in the launch list. Has something changed? Is there something I can do to fix this? I would almost call this a bug. If possible things such as new apps should be first priority to index. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Install a new package-app, then bring up krunner (alt-f2) and see if it is available to launch. Actual Results: It may take several minutes to maybe an hour or two before the new app is indexed. Expected Results: Install a package or app and have it immediately indexed so that I can launch it in Krunner.
Krunner is always slower then kickoff... I would have thought it would be part of the same module? This problem is REALLY annoying! Are you aware how slow it can be in gathering the information of a newly installed application? I would like to think that certain plugins would be put first in the cue or made a top priority to process immediately. (I only have seven plugins selected... I can't imagine how slow it would be if all of them were selected.)
"It may take several minutes to maybe an hour or two before the new app is indexed." that's the job of kbuilsycoca4, nothing at all to do with krunner.
