Sadly your suggestion does not work. With `fi = filePathToStat(info.symlink.toLocal8Bit())` fi._st_dev is == 0 when the symlink target does not exist. Hence it does tell me **why** the link can't be followed. baloo's db otoh knows about this. As `deviceIdFilter` does never contain 0 symlinks would be removed when they should be ignored. With `If(id != 0)` truly "dead" symlinks will not be removed. Maybe I didn't understand what you're suggesting? `filePathToStat` returns `QT_STATBUF`. My guess is that is essentially the same as `QT_FSTAT`, at least `man fstat.2` says so.
