--- Comment #6 from Scott <shagooser...@gmail.com> --- So I thought I might follow your advice and did the following: 1/ (Window 1) scott@scottlounge:~$ balooctl monitor Waiting for file indexer to start Press Ctrl+C to stop monitoring 2/ (Window 2) scott@scottlounge:~$ balooctl purge Deleted the index database 3/ (Window 2) scott@scottlounge:~$ barlooctl status Command 'barlooctl' not found, did you mean: command 'balooctl' from deb baloo-kf5 (5.68.0-0ubuntu1) Try: sudo apt install <deb name> 1/ So even this simple process does not work properly because I get error that the command cannot be found. I assume we agree this a bug? 2/ This time I get the expected message from the purge command, "Deleted the index database" and my prompt. 3/ At this point window 1, barloo monitor, reported, Idle. (no errors) 4/ A subsequent running of balooctl purge (a minute or 2 later) gave rise to the same behaviour as in my initial post. I assume that not getting the exact same behaviour each time a command such as this is issued is also a bug? As is not terminating and displaying the prompt? 5/ I also consider it a bug that the purge command despite not terminating then goes on to, I assume, display to the terminal what is being indexed. 6/ A brief spot check showed that indeed thousands of files were not indexed. There appears to be no commonality in what is not indexed as it includes files, sub directories, directories and even entire disks. It may be worth noting that there are only 4 file types comprised in the total of approx 6,000 entries being file types: .ts, .m2ts, .mkv and .avi. So, running monitor does not appear to have achieved anything, perhaps you have another suggestion? In view of this product's troubled history over the best part of a decade, my suggestion would lie somewhere in product testing. The errors are so huge and glaring what detail can any single user give to pinpoint the problem that are not instantly recognisable by anyone with a large(ish) data set? By way of comparison I use another piece of software, Plex, that uses the same data set without issue which would suggest that the data set is not the problem. Then, on top of this, I still can't look at my file manager and see the run time of a bloody movie or see any metadata detail at all from a networked PC. I appreciate that it's a one issue one ticket world so I will leave off on these in this thread. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
