Bug ID: 439276
Summary: Not very cooperative “Folder specific configuration”
in System Settings “File Search” page.
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.22.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_baloo
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I found this page by entering “baloo” in krunner.
Screenshot: https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=139724
There is a default list item for $HOME, which can not be removed, and works
fine so far.
At the bottom, there is a button “Add folder configuration...”. Clicking it
does not add a list item, but instead opens a menu with two items “Start/Stop
indexing a folder...”. This is clearly not what I expect from clicking a button
labeled “Add [...]”. These items read like very unrelated actions.
If I select one of these items, I get a dialog where I have to select an
already existing directory. Why do I have to create new directories only to
change a configuration?
After selecting an existing directory, a list item is added. This list item can
not be edited anymore. I can only remove it or toggle between “Indexed” and
“Not indexed.”
I would expect that clicking a “Add [...]” button or list item adds a list item
to the list, which can be optionally configured. It may directly open a dialog
to configure it, but it shouldn’t show an unrelated menu instead.
I would expect that a newly created list item can be configured, e. g. clicking
the path column (or a button in this column) opens a dialog or a line edit. The
usual print dialog shows such an example, where you can enter the file path
directly in a line edit, without the overhead of navigating through dialog
windows, or choose the path from a dialog window.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings -> Workspace -> Search -> File Search
