DESCRIPTION
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set only basic indexing=true in ~/.config/baloofilerc
2. Confirm in System Settings → Search → File Search that "File names only" is
selected
3. Run balooctl6 disable then balooctl6 enable
4. Observe balooctl6 status
OBSERVED RESULT
balooctl6 status shows "Indexer state: Indexing file content" with a live
progress percentage. ps aux confirms baloo_file_extractor is running and
actively consuming CPU/disk I/O. Terminal output shows TagLib actively parsing
ID3 tags from MP3 files (example output: TagLib: ID3v2.4 no longer supports the
frame type TDAT...), confirming genuine content extraction is occurring despite
the basic-indexing-only setting.
EXPECTED RESULT
Baloo should perform filename-only indexing; no content/metadata extraction
should occur.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a
terminal window):
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This caused sustained, heavy disk I/O (confirmed via fatrace showing continuous
writes to ~/.local/share/baloo/index) severe enough to make the desktop session
near-unusable while indexing was active.
I've been chasing this disk activity problem down for weeks, and I'm thankful
to find it's something I can disable while you guys work on it. Thanks for all
your hard work!
