SUMMARY Let's imagine a hypothetical (fictitious) git project? project |_ .git | |_ ... etc | |_ .log | |_ 2020-05-29.log | |_ app | |_ app.js | |_ README.md I run the git clone ulr-project.git command on my PC. After that, without slowing down, I will try to find: - "2020-05-29" - nothing was found. Because the file is in a hidden folder. - "app.js" and this file is not there either. Because it is installed in the exception filter in baloo. - "README" there is no such file again. Because he did not have time to index yet. Let me remind you that we are looking for without delay, immediately after copying the project. What does this mean for an inexperienced user? The user will see that the file is really missing! That is, Dolphin + Baloo in advance provides the user with inaccurate information that cannot be trusted. [MEGA_ULTRA_SIZE_RED_BOLD_BLINKING_TEXT] Make it possible to change the default search, for example to KFind. And leave Baloo for KRunner.[/MEGA_ULTRA_SIZE_RED_BOLD_BLINKING_TEXT] No need to allow hidden resource searches for Baloo. No need to fix file exceptions in baloofilerc configuration. This will not fix the problem. Because the mechanism of its work slows down the PC and kills my SSD. It also takes a lot of time to index files. We just need a search that searches. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. - 2. - 3. - OBSERVED RESULT - EXPECTED RESULT - SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Forgot to add. If I try to search on removable media, folders that are not allowed to be indexed or in a network folder, then in response I will see an empty search result.
