[opensuse] Baloo_file and Chrome
Hi, Can anyone tell me why baloo_file works so hard (I'm using an Intel core i7 and some times freezes temporaraly) when Chrome it's also running? Does balo is indexing the temporary files of Chrome?

In its normal installation, Baloo should not be indexing anything that Chrome writes. However, if you have changed where chrome caches, or if you have messed with where balloo searches you may have caused baloo to index chrome's cache. Check this page, and manually look at your baloofilerc (that page tells you where to find it) https://community.kde.org/Baloo/Configuration#Hidden_Folders Near the bottom it addresses hidden folders, showing how to turn on the indexing of hidden folders, which is NOT WHAT YOU WANT. (The page could be more explicit in telling you that this is not normal, and not desirable). Changing Chrome to cache in a non-hidden folder could keep baloo busy. -- 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
Hi, I guess that I've not done nothing wrong like changing were Chrome caches it's files. But i'm going to follow your instructions. Thanks Lívio On quinta-feira, 28 de abril de 2016 10:05:35 WEST John Andersen wrote:

I had the .config/google-chrome directory linked to a non hidden directory, so baloo was working just fine :-) Thanks Lívio On quinta-feira, 28 de abril de 2016 10:05:35 WEST John Andersen wrote:

Ah, good sleuthing. Would have taken me weeks to find 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
