Bug ID: 405247
Summary: baloo (baloo_file_extractor) should report what file
is causing it problems
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 5.55.0
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Baloo File Daemon
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: skierp...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I do balooctl enable, I get a lot of warnings and then a crash (bug
405017). But journalctl and .xsession-errors have no indication what files are
causing these problems, making further debugging difficult.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In a terminal, run balooctl disable, then balooctl enable
OBSERVED RESULT
I get lots of output including:
Could not determine correct datetime format from: "2017:01:14 24:01:42"
Error: XMP Toolkit error 203: Duplicate property or field node
Warning: Failed to decode XMP metadata.
Warning: Directory Image, entry 0x0001 has unknown Exif (TIFF) type 0; setting
type size 1.
Warning: Directory Thumbnail, entry 0x0201: Data area exceeds data buffer,
ignoring it.
...
and I often get a crash in kfilemetadata_exiv2extractor library.
EXPECTED RESULT
I just want to know what files are causing these problems so I can fix their
metadata, file better bug reports, and avoid the crash.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0
Qt Version: 5.11.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It would help if there was documentation on how to run baloo_file_extractor on
a particular file. (I know I can run `balooctl index path/to/file` but that
usually reports "Already indexed". I want to see the extractor run regardless.)
