question regarding file indexing about fedora-copr-kde5 HOT 4 OPEN

Disabling service is enough to stop using Baloo.

About settings - it looks to be a bug in the System Settings part.
If there is no folders selected for indexing (according to file ~/.config/baloofilerc) - settings part will show default directories enabled.
I can reproduce it on my PC.

Same is true for external drives - can we stop indexing them somehow? (i can tell by the flashing led on an external drive that someone is accessing it constantly)

About this one - it should be fixed now.
I find this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333433 (Indexer should auto exclude external-media in /home).

i found something interesting happening when using balooctl...
Example:

balooctl config includeFolders ls

will show this on my system

/home/userName/Documents/
/home/userName/Pictures/
/home/userName/Videos/
/home/userName/Music/

I can remove those directories individually with, e.g.

balooctl config includeFolders rm /home/userName/Documents/

all is fine until i remove the last entry, then the next thing happening is that the list is filled again with those 4 entries mentioned above. For, me, this does not look like a sane default, especially when i try to override it...

Maybe this explains the system settings part bahavior.

Disabling service is enough to stop using Baloo.

According to balooctl status, baloo is currently disabled.
