though I think there should be options to control WHEN the initial and on-going indexing occurs. Basically, we should easily be able to get to menus that let us control all aspects of both services.
I second that! Although beagled-helper runs with nice of 15 (it is at zero now, but I remember it was 15 when it was working) it still competes with other resources. And on a laptop, you want to have complete control because of the power usage too and maybe set the indexing when the laptop is plugged in, in addition to a particular time.
There is an option in the Beagle preferences to turn off all indexing when on battery power. I believe this is in the version that shipped with 10.2. Maybe we can add additional control to this. What did you guys have in mind?
Another thing I just noticed. My .beagle/ directory is 1.6GB! Is this normal? Can the size of this cache be controlled? (My home is ~40GB, ~15GB of that are pictures, sounds and binary data.)
The size of the index obviously can vary a lot with the type of data, but we estimate that the index is 5-10% the size of your data, so you fall into that range. You can reclaim some space by deleting the ~/.beagle/TextCache directory. That directory is used to quickly extract text for showing "snippets" in the user interface, but isn't essential to the running of Beagle. If you delete it, you won't get snippets for most documents. It is probably a couple hundred MB. Thanks, Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
