Description Martin Steigerwald 2020-08-02 13:35:34 UTC 
I think there is no good reason to index virtual machine images.

I added it to my configuration manually already.
Comment 1 Stefan Brüns 2020-08-04 23:56:14 UTC 
Why not? I may have stored some VM image in one of my projects folders and no longer remember which one. So it should be indexed.

Indexing a VM image only takes up a few dozens of bytes in the DB.

There are plenty of complaints from users where baloo skips a file. We should not any more reasons to complain.
Comment 2 Martin Steigerwald 2020-08-07 09:24:26 UTC 
I experienced baloo repeatedly trying to index a qcow file *while* I was using the VM, causing considerably extra load on the system.

This is with Baloo 5.70.

Has this been fixed meanwhile? If not, I'd file a new bug about that.
