Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux KFind searches binary .a files for specified phrase even when "Include binary files" option is unchecked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: - open KFind - select a directory containing .a files - specify a phrase that occurs in these .a files - make sure "Include binary files" is unchecked - start search Actual Results: .a files will be scanned as well, which takes lots of time Expected Results: binary .a files should be omitted
The issue is that KFind uses the MIME compliant criterium to check for binary files. Appearantly, the MIME specification says to check the first 32 bytes only, and .a files are designed to have a "big" ASCII header (the binary data starts at offset 68). Not sure if KFind should use its own function to check a larger range, or if the kdelibs KMimeType::isBinaryData() function should be enhanced to have an optional "size" argument.
