It is found in KDE's System Settings Module. The first issue is that once activated it does not sit in the system try and needs to offer a 'pause' and 'restart' option at least. Let us assume that both of the Basic settings are activated and then on the Desktop Query tab the home directory is specified or a storage directory is specified and that storage directory holds a large amount of data. In this situation if I copy the entire contents of a Music DVD to the specified directory the copy process grinds the whole PC to a halt and the multiple songs on the DVD being copied takes hours upon hours. This is due to the Nepomuk/Strigi Server consuming more and more system resources (NOT RAM) to index each file as it gets copied from the DVD to the directory. The CPU resources that this process can use is extremely considerable. May I suggest that as well as being able to nominate the amount of RAM the application can use but also a percentage of CPU that the application can use. The help on this application desperately needs review and more written about the logic? of the 'Query Base Folder Listing' The desktop Query Base Folder Listing offers the poorest functional choice and is not explained in help when it desperately needs to. The backup tab part of this application needs to be either withdrawn or enhanced to be a professional backup and all that is entailed in performing data backups together with restore options be expanded to cope with the variables needed to professionally accomplish both a backup and restore. The location and amount of disk space created by indexing files needs to be explained in help, allow the user to specify the directory for these files and the maximum amount of disk space the index files can use. On one of my systems this application reports that 5.2GB of disk space is currently being used up somewhere. The advanced tab should limit the RAM, CPU %, Hard Disk space allocated for index files and their location. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enhancement 2. 3.
