SUMMARY When installing from scratch through the Windows Store, I needed to link my existing music directory (D:\Music). When selecting the folder through the application, the app hangs. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Elisa 2. Add new directory, without changing the "Music Indexing" setting from "Use fast native indexer" 3. The app hangs and needs to be killed. OBSERVED RESULT The app hangs only when "Use fast native indexer" is used. When using "Scan the filesystem directly", the app works as expected. EXPECTED RESULT The default Music Indexing setting should work out of the box. If the "Scan the filesystem directly" setting is the default on Windows, make it default. At the very least, don't display a Baloo bug report dialog when selecting the setting. There may also be a related bug with Baloo, but it's implementation in Elisa is beyond my knowledge. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 20H2 120.2212.3920.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Welcome to my first KDE bug report, my daily driver is Arch+Plasma; I just discovered this on my Windows OS installation.
We should probably disable the native indexer on Windows, since it doesn't work there anyway.
Should be fixed by removing the 'fast' indexer. https://invent.kde.org/multimedia/elisa/-/merge_requests/521
