Stefan Brüns <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] | |e --- Comment #7 from Stefan Brüns <[email protected]> --- Regarding files not found in hidden directories: This is a design decision. Baloo is meant to help finding files the user has created or received from another person (this includes downloading files from the internet). Configuration files and the like are clearly not in this scope. Many users are not even aware of hidden files/directories, and these are not shown by default in e.g. dolphin. IMHO it would be quite awkward if these files showed up during a search. Files in hidden directories are only useful for power users/developers, which are typically capable of using e.g. find and grep. These configuration files are also typically in plain text format, so searching with grep works, while formats like ODF, PDF, ... do not store text as plain text, these documents are exemplary for the baloo scope. Regarding the "log.txt" file, please file another bug report. This neither matches the bug description (which has a number of implications: hard to find when searching for it, bad reference/description when the bug has been confirmed and fixed, ...) and does not obey the "One bug per bug report". This may sound somewhat discouraging, but rest assured that bugs like the second are definitely a concern for past as well as current developers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
