--- Comment #3 from tagwer...@innerjoin.org --- Recognise this from Fedora 32, indexing is working but then 'stops' at some point. A "balooctl check" triggers a reindex and there is a scurry to catch up with the files that need reindexing. I can reproduce when renaming a parent folder In Neon testing (Plasma 5.20.3, Frameworks 5.77, Qt 5.15.1, Filesystem Ext4, New install) balooctl purge cd Documents mkdir folder1 echo "Test File" > folder1/filea.txt baloosearch Test gives what is should: /home/bug392793/Documents/folder1/filea.txt If you rename the folder: mv folder1 folder2 this pops up an error (nicely visible if you have previously done a "balooctl purge") replace called with invalid arguments, docId: 7330929353751553 url: "/home/bug392793/Documents/folder2/" and baloosearch Test shows the "old results" (*): /home/bug392793/Documents/folder1/filea.txt It has not seen the change. If you nudge baloo check: balooctl check You get: replace called with invalid arguments, docId: 5647955008748545 url: "/home/bug392793/" 7330929353751553 "/home/bug392793/Documents/folder2" renaming "folder1" to "folder2" Started search for unindexed files and it updates/corrects the index. A search: baloosearch Test then gives the correct results: /home/bug392793/Documents/folder2/filea.txt It is noticeable that if you have renamed a folder (as per the "*" above), you can create/write/change all sorts files in the newly renamed folder without these being indexed Installed inotify-tools and ran inotifywait in a separate shell: inotifywait -mr Documents/ iNotify saw the folder rename: Documents/ MOVED_FROM,ISDIR folder1 Documents/ MOVED_TO,ISDIR folder2 Documents/folder2/ MOVE_SELF -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
