[opensuse] Leap 42.2 - Baloo? How to prevent it indexing /run mounted USB drives
I've got 42.2 RC2 on one of my machines. Its a pure vanilla setup. I'm using KDE more extensively than I have in a couple years (I'm normally more CLI only). I just noticed someting (baloo?) is indexing my USB mounted drives. In this case I connected the drive and KDE automounted it under /run. I don't want it to index anything under /run/media/ 1) Is it a bug that it is even indexing /run/media in the first place? 2) I don't see a way to configure baloo under configure desktop. Is there a way other than a text editor? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

kde settings, search, file search, fill the windows with not to be indexed places jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Unless something has changed drasticly in Leap 42.2, baloo does not index any removable media mounted under /run/media which is where kde will mount thumb drives. (Not on all distros - some use /media) It ONLY indexes your local user directory. So unless Greg created a link in his local user directory, it should never have indexed anything in /run/media Note: In KDE4, there used to be an Advanced configuration for Desktop Search which allowed you do designate additional places, and control extensions, but I can't find that anymore. So you have to look at ~/.config/baloofilerc to add places or adjust exclusions. -- 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

I'm suspecting "User Error": I may have only thought Baloo was blocking me unmounting the drive. I'm going to move on without further troubleshooting. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
