Thank you, but it seems the developer is already getting a lot of backlash over baloo, one thing being that there isn't an enable or disable switch. I want file indexing, but baloo isn't working like it should; I have just read a lot of comments from people who are experiencing the same problems with heavy disk I/O and high CPU utilization, and the developer also mentioned there is a bug in baloo_file_cleaner, which explains the infinite loop it was stuck in yesterday. Here is the quote: "There seems to be a bug within the baloo_file_cleaner that was not caught during the many phases of testing. Please feel free to kill the cleaner process. With regard to security, it was this *baloo_file_cleaner* process that was making sure that the file is no longer stored in the index." http://vhanda.in/blog/2014/04/desktop-search-configuration/ Some of the comments are quite funny, like this one: "Baloo is just the worst piece of software I have EVER seen." or "I DON'T WANT FUCKING INDEXING OF MY CONTENTS!!!! At this time I simply remove all the fucking akonadi/baloo/nepomuk/other shit out of my system. Next time I remove all the KDE Environment. Nice try!" I have to say, that for a non-beta release of KDE...it's quite perplexing that baloo made it through all the betas and ended up like it is now. If I can catch it doing buggy things within minutes of using it, it makes one start wondering if they really tried it very much with large 1-3 TB drives 100% full of files, and running torrents, BOINC, etc. On Sun, Apr 27, 2014 at 4:46 AM, šumski <hrvoje.senjan@gmail.com> wrote:

I'm not impressed with Baloo at all, in fact it's really slowing my computer down and KDE 4.13 so far has been a drag all because of Baloo. When running BOINC, Baloo constantly wants to index everything BOINC writes to the disk which is frequent. Yes, I can exclude the BOINC directory, but there's no GUI option for a new user to shut off Baloo which is ridiculous, (BIIIP)
Hi Lars, you can remove baloo-file, baloo-pim and baloo-tools packages, that will stop baloo from doing anything, as it's binaries are in these packages.
