Bug ID: 502086
Summary: Defaulting to "scan file content" causes huge CPU load
and index filesize
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 6.12.0
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: boredsquir...@secure.mailbox.org
Target Milestone: ---
I think I have found the reason why baloo is so hated by some.
I enabled it, and by default it indexes file content too. Which could be cool,
but not by default.
Indexing took over an hour on a modern laptop, and the index took up 12GB
space, while 3GB were used for the actual index (no idea how that makes sense)
I then disabled file content indexing, stopped, purged, enabled again, and
indexing was very fast, the index is small and unproblematic

Please change this value by default, as baloo causes a ton of issues otherwise,
while this would make it simply a useful tool.
