SUMMARY Setting exclude folders does not work because "$HOME" already contains a trailing slash, resulting in double slashes. Files in excluded folders will be indexed. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. add a folder to exclude list via systemsettings, e.g. "tmp" OBSERVED RESULT Entry in baloofilerc "exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/tmp/" is created. "balooctl config show excludeFolders" will show that this is evaluated to /home/user//tmp/ (note the double "/" after HOME) This is because "$HOME" already contains a trailing slash Baloo will index files in ~/tmp Manually changing the option in baloofilerc to "exclude folders[$e]=${HOME}tmp/" works as expected. EXPECTED RESULT Baloo should not index files in ~/tmp, the entry should be SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1

[Baloo KCM] Complete overhaul of the include/exclude folder list Summary: The current "Excluded folders" list in the KCM is quite awkward: 1. It tries to mimic baloos automatic exclusion of external drives, but fails doing so and adds almost any external drive even when not mounted below an indexable path. 2. Deleting an autogenerated entry actually **adds** it to the included folder list, and then hides it. 3. There is no way to show the included folder list, or add any entries to it. Remove the custom "excluded mounts" heuristic from the KCM and retrieve the additional (not explicitly configured) excluded ones from baloo. Replace the "excluded list" with a common list for included and excluded folders, and flag its state. This also makes it easy to add additional properties later. Create a new UI delegate for each config list item, allowing to enable and disable indexing for each entry. Make the "delete" actually always delete a config entry, and make the control inline. Move the "Add" button to the *right* bottom of the list (in accordance with UI guidelines) and add some text to it. Depends on D28024 Solves the following parts of T9879: [x] Allow adding of includeFolders in the KCM [x] Correctly show excludeFolders below explicit (non-$HOME) includeFolders in KCM Related: bug 417763, bug 417170, bug 366521 Reviewers: #baloo, #vdg, ngraham, mart Reviewed By: #baloo, #vdg, ngraham Subscribers: plasma-devel Tags: #plasma Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D28025 M +119 -113 kcms/baloo/filteredfoldermodel.cpp M +18 -12 kcms/baloo/filteredfoldermodel.h M +76 -19 kcms/baloo/package/contents/ui/main.qml https://commits.kde.org/plasma-desktop/7498b41a1979b084d05b99a51d3561eeef68e974
