Whe opening the "File Search" kcm from "System Settings" the "Do not search in these locations" is not fully populated. It seems to read only part from the "exclude folders[$e]=" from baloofilerc. For example my baloofilerc contains: exclude folders[$e]=/mnt/storage/,/mnt/NoOS/,/koko/2.0/,/koko/kicad-git/,/boot/,/var/,/usr/,/opt/,/srv/ The "File Search" contains only the two first: https://i.imgur.com/aoy7t21.png If you try to use the "File Search" to add exclude folders, it will delete everything and will fill the baloofilerc file only with the ones added in the list.
I can't reproduce this now. Does this still occur on your machine?
No, it is OK now.
