Bug ID: 358098
Summary: Baloo fails to index plain text files unless extension
is .txt
Product: Baloo
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@vhanda.in
Reporter: jsam...@gmail.com
CC: pinak.ah...@gmail.com
Using Baloo 5.17 (Arch/Manjaro repositories) as well as Baloo 4.14 (Opensuse
Repositories)
baloo file content indexing has suddenly lost the ability to index the content
of plain/text files unless the extension is .txt.
I believe I have traced this to a so called "temporary" patch to
/src/file/extractor/app.cpp on 8/May/2014.
I rely on baloo indexing a large volume of source code, which cannot have
extensions of .txt but which are plain text, and suddenly this capability has
been taken away for the flimsiest of reasons.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a working baloo environment create a file called delete-me.txt
2. Write some words in the file including the word uniqueword
3. Save the file to disk in your local directory
4. Copy delete-me.txt to delete-me.too
5. at command line type baloosearch uniqueword
Actual Results:
Only the file delete-me.txt will be listed by baloosearch
Expected Results:
Both files should be listed by baloosearch
File names continue to be indexed, but content is not.
This renders the Dolphin Content search useless for any work with files that
are plain text without a ".txt" extension.
This was supposed to be a temporary patch (clearly labeled a HACK in the
original commit)
