"I think the more important question for me is - Why would you want to disable temporary indexing?" "Can you imagine a non-technical user wanting to temporarily disabling indexing?" "Please trust the developers to keep sensible defaults." "Disabling it is a dirty hack which normal users will never discover - Yes, it is. The idea is that normal users won't know or care about indexing. What they care about is desktop search. I'm not sure how this violates usability." "Controlling which files are indexed - We have sensible defaults, and most of the files that you have mentioned (.class files, *.pwc, *.o, etc) are never indexed. Hidden folders are also never indexed. The idea is to provide sensible defaults. The default list can be viewed over here - https://projects.kde.org"; (/souce code file)/[1] _"_What we're trying to do is provide sensible defaults which will mostly just work for everyone" NB: Defaults are not defaults if the user doesn't have a way to override them -- Lindsay -------- [1] https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/baloo/repository/revisions/master/entry/src/file/fil eexcludefilters.cpp
