1. Clear Elisa local data so that it has no information about local files. 2. Stop Baloo. 3. Start Elisa. 4. Start Baloo. 5. Open e.g. the Albums view in Elisa - it doesn't detect the local files (see also bug #387434 ). It should be able to detect local files because Baloo is already running.
Yes, I know that problem exists. I have work in progress monitoring of Baloo.
Hello, I would like to work on your report but I am not sure of exactly what you mean by stop Baloo. When working on the Baloo support, I am doing two different things to stop Baloo. The first is to deactivate file indexing (by example by using the KCM module). The second one is to stop the indexer (by example with balooctl stop). There is also a third one that is asking Baloo to only perform file indexing but without indexing content. Thanks in advance Best regards
In the step "Stop Baloo" I did the following: 1. Uncheck "Enable File Search" (the topmost checkbox) in the Baloo KCM, 2. Killed all processes that have "baloo" in their name (baloo_file, baloo_file_extractor, ...).
Sorry for the delay. I can reproduce your problem. I am working on it.
I have created a phabricator review for a fix (https://phabricator.kde.org/D15298)
