Bug ID: 488533
Summary: Baloo generating bloated indexes for .obj files
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 6.3.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Baloo File Daemon
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---

an example obj
SUMMARY
obj files are a legacy yet still commonly used File format to exchange 3D
Models. As it is a plain text format, baloo will generate huge indexes of these
files. This results it generating indexes that can grow multiple GB in size,
causing baloo to generate bloated indexes, run out of memory, never finish
indexing and using up tons of compute.
I assume obj files are not the only type of file that can cause this issue.
This is one of the culprits for issue #488446
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add the attatched .obj to a directory indexed by baloo
2. wait for indexing
3. $ baloosearch6 -i suzanne.obj
4. copy the ID
5. $ balooshow6 -x [the ID you copied]
OBSERVED RESULT
a huge stack of numbers
DESIRED RESULT
The file name, maybe the names of objects included in the files and some
metadata.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I know this is technically expected behavior. I know how to configure baloo so
this does not happen on my machine. I still hope it is understandable why I
think this needs to be resolved upstream.
