Bug ID: 453302
Summary: GUI to configure file types to exclude from indexing
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 5.93.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
The file name patterns and mime types to be excluded can only be configured in
~/.config/baloofilerc and not via the graphical interface in file search
settings.
This makes this setting hard to even find, and some users might feel
uncomfortable editing dotfiles.
In addition, a graphical interface with a list of file extension and mime types
to select from would make it easier to come up with the right elements to put
to e.g. exclude all image file types from indexing, rather than having to find
and enter all applicable mime types or file endings by hand.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. System Settings > Search > Flie Search
OBSERVED RESULT
No option to configure file patterns and mime types to exclude from indexing.
Have to go edit ~/.config/baloofilerc.
EXPECTED RESULT
Graphical configuration for file patterns and mime types to be indexed.
