SUMMARY I only want to index a subfolder under $HOME. The kcm allows me to set $HOME to "not indexed". But when I pressed "Apply" then reopened the KCM, there are two $HOME entries, one "indexed", the other "not indexed". And baloo is still indexing $HOME.

I can reproduce on an EndeavourOS VM and a KDE Neon VM. Also, on a Fedora KDE VM, deleting the pre-configured home subfolders, like ~/Documents, causes them to reappear when the page is reloaded. Thanks!
