What integration with Yast would you expect? Further, Yast is an openSUSE-specific tool, it has nothing to do with the progress of the upstream Baloo project.
Yeah, everybody knows Yast is opensuse specific. That's exactly why I posted in the OpenSuse list, and not the KDE list. If there is no facility to manage the settings and configuration in Yast, and nothing in KDE, then Baloo becomes a take it or leave it package. I see little commitment to Baloo on the part of KDE, and even less commitment on the part of opensuse (as you might expect). Baloo totally lacks any competent search/retrieval capabilities. Kfind simply ignores it. Dolphin makes minimal use of it. And the users mostly just turn off Baloo as a default. If KDE isn't interested int Baloo any more, maybe Opensuse would be better off to deprecate Baloo and package something that integrates better with Gnome as well as KDE, AND which has an active development team, but most of all, has actual plans to provide a usable search/retrieval component. Maybe something like recoll should be given top reommendations.
Baloo seems to work, its fast, doesn't seem to use and resources to speak of. But half the functionality is missing.
I think a lot of the effort is going into the Frameworks 5 porting effort. We probably won't see much change in baloo in the KDE Sc 4.x line.
So are you suggesting there MIGHT be more work on Baloo in Framework 5? Because the change log certainly doesn't reflect that. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
