Created attachment 133790 [details] irremovable item example SUMMARY KDE Settings -> "File search": "Folder specific configuration" list: permanent item of '/home/<username>' with 'indexed' value. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open KDE Settings GUI. Section "Search". Sub-section "File Search". 2. There is the item '/home/<username>' w/ value of "indexed" in "Folder specific configuration" list already. Try to remove it by clicking on Wastebin icon. Item removed. List is empty. 3. Press Apply btn. Looks like ok, but do not be so fast. 4. Change sub-section to another for example "KRunner" and change back to "File search". OBSERVED RESULT You'll see that item which was removed is present again. EXPECTED RESULT Item which was removed should be deleted. STEPS TO REPRODUCE-2 Moreover: If to change the value of that default '/home/<username>' item from 'indexed' to 'not indexed', press 'Apply' btn, then change to another sub-section and went back to 'File search', then you will see 2 items: yours with "not indexed" and added the same but w/ "indexed" value.

Apparently the “Delete entry” button has been disabled in the meantime, but that is only a facade. Changing to “Not indexed” still pollutes the configuration with contradicting items instead of changing the configuration.

(In reply to tagwerk19 from comment #2) > ... Now, can I get it to do it again? Most straightwordly, if you have a .config/baloofilerc containing: [Basic Settings] Indexing-Enabled=true [General] dbVersion=2 exclude filters=*~,*.part,*.o,*.la,*.lo,*.loT,*.moc... et al... exclude filters version=8 exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/ Gives you the two lines in the System Settings -> Search, one with "Indexed" and one "Not indexed"
Irremovable item of `/home/<username>` with the `indexed` value persists. --- System Info: Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.0-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11

(In reply to pveax from comment #4) > Irremovable item of `/home/<username>` with the `indexed` value persists. What do you have in your .config/baloofilerc file? Specifically, the "folders[$e]" and "exclude folders[$e]" lines. You might have ended up with something like folders[$e]=$HOME/,$HOME/ or the config referred to in Comment 3
> What do you have in your .config/baloofilerc file? Hi, tagwerk19! Currently it is: ``` [Basic Settings] Indexing-Enabled=false [General] dbVersion=2 exclude filters=<long line. hidden 'til the end of line> exclude filters version=8 only basic indexing=true ``` But I have that /home/<username> item in the `Folder specific configuration:` list. Most probably it is hard-coded somewhere. The issue `Reported: 2020-12-01`. Is it almost impossible to that bug to be that complicated to locate it in code and to understand why it was hard-coded instead of using configuration which contains the `~/.config/baloofilerc` file. Probably the bug is poor-described. Let me fix it: Behavior is the next: 0. Press "Start" btn (meta key) 1. Open `System Settings`. 2. Go to `Workspace` section. Than `Search` -> `File search`. 3. Check `Enable File Search` to enable it. The `Folder specific configuration:` became editable. It contains /home/<username> item with the `indexed` option chosen by default. it is the only item in the list. 4. Press `Apply`. 5. Switch to `KRunner` item in the left panel (there are 3 items only, 3rd is `Web Search Keywords`). 6. Switch back to `File Search` item. Only 1 item is present. No changes. the `~/.config/baloofilerc` file became: ``` [General] dbVersion=2 exclude filters=<hidden> exclude filters version=8 only basic indexing=true ``` 7. We have only one item listed. Change it mode from `Indexed` to `Not indexed`. 8. Hit `Apply` btn. No I see the the only item in that list. The `~/.config/baloofilerc` file became: ``` [General] dbVersion=2 exclude filters=<hidden> exclude filters version=8 exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/ only basic indexing=true ``` 9. Re-do the (5) and (6) steps (so just switch to show another component settings and back). 10. Now I see that 2 items are listed: /home/<username> Indexed /home/<username> Not indexed The `~/.config/baloofilerc` file became: ``` [General] dbVersion=2 exclude filters=<hidden> exclude filters version=8 exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/ only basic indexing=true ``` So on some stage of (9) step some component adds that additional "/home/<username> Indexed" item. That's the point of bug. Let a user to manage the list without malware-like behavior of constantly added of the "/home/<username> Indexed" (so non-removable) item. It is not about config: `~/.config/baloofilerc` does not rule that unwanted silent behavior. Most probably it is hard-coded. --- Current System Info: ``` Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.0-0-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 ``` Are there any more questions? Thanks!

Yes, I have that visible in the System Settings > Search but not there in .config/baloofilerc. Then when you change the "Indexed" to "Not Indexed" in System Settings, baloofilerc is changed to: > [General] > dbVersion=2 > exclude filters=<hidden> > exclude filters version=8 > only basic indexing=true And then you get your: > 10. Now I see that 2 items are listed: > /home/<username> Indexed > /home/<username> Not indexed in the GUI and the only way of getting out of the problem is to manually edit the baloofilerc. Yes, it's reproducable and I get the same on Neon Unstable.

Cut and paste problem, should read baloofilerc is changed to: > [General] > dbVersion=2 > exclude filters=<hidden> > exclude filters version=8 > exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/ > only basic indexing=true
>and the only way of getting out of the problem is to manually edit the baloofilerc. No, the problem in that very issue is that '/home/<username>' with 'indexed' value can not be removed: neither via GUI, nor via the `~/.config/baloofilerc` config file. That's the point if the issue as it's title says that: ``` Settings -> File search: Folder specific configuration list: self-reproducing, irremovable items of '/home/<username>' with 'indexed' value ``` If you have another issue, open another bug report, please, do not change that issue description to the one you meet. Thank you!

My apologies. I'd got hooked on the issue that you could end up with both an "indexed" and a "not-indexed" entry. A case study in "not quite understanding" the report :-/
Sorry for my English.
``` $ balooctl status Baloo is currently disabled.
