When you run baloo_monitor, you will see it says "Indexing foobar", but will make no further progress as the fake extractor has exited (equivalent to a crash here). > > When you run baloo_file from build/bin, make sure you have the relevant baloo_file_extractor in the PATH first. Yeah, that's true. I guess that should be also not too hard to fix. But there is two parts of the bug. The first one is what you mentioned, while the second is about `baloo_file_extractor` eating 100% CPU part, which is a bit more "interesting"...
