Bug ID: 397242
Summary: Baloo gets confused when a file is renamed over
existing one
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 5.48.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Baloo File Daemon
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: alexander....@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Here is an example script to reproduce (has to be runned inside baloo indexed
directory):
```
NAME=$(pwgen -N1); CONTENT=$(pwgen -N1)
echo "$CONTENT" > "${NAME}"_1.txt
echo "$CONTENT" > "${NAME}"_2.txt
sleep 5
baloosearch "${CONTENT}"
echo
mv -v "${NAME}"_1.txt "${NAME}"_2.txt
sleep 5
baloosearch "${CONTENT}"
```
The first baloosearch as expected finds files "${NAME}"_1.txt and
"${NAME}"_2.txt
But the second invocation (after "${NAME}"_1.txt is renamed to "${NAME}"_2.txt)
finds "${NAME}"_2.txt twice!!!
I believe this is the reason why a get tons of duplicates of zim notes in
search results. Zim desktop wiki for robustness saves its notes in file
$NOTE.txt.zim-new~ and then moves this file over $NOTE.txt.
Also this obviously leads to unreasonably large index file etc etc
