--- Comment #46 from Scott <shagooser...@gmail.com> ---
I refer to the following from my last e-mail:

Seems like a little bit of progress and then comes a status update:
scott@scottlounge:/$ balooctl status
Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Idle
Total files indexed: 21,848
Files waiting for content indexing: 0
Files failed to index: 0
Current size of index is 28.06 MiB

I think I did not explain sufficiently why this status report is a problem
and a bug. As we know I have about six thousand files that need to be
indexed which are all located in one top level directory called
Entertainment. I have provided a copy of the config file showing that this
is the only directory that baloo should be indexing and it appears that
baloo is doing that correctly. The problems are:
1/ baloo terminates during indexing for unknown reasons (not
hanging/freezing as I erroneously stated previously) without providing a
reason code.
2/ On restarting the indexing baloo re-indexes the same files with an
erroneous message that the files have changed (see my last email) or added
with baloo being turned off. Baloo is not checking that these index entries
already exist or there is some problem with the index file itself and so
just duplicates them which is why baloo reports over 21,000 files indexed
from a dataset only containing 6,000 entries.
3/ Further it reports files waiting to be indexed and files failed to index
both being zero when in fact approximately 1,000 of the 6,000 files in the
dataset have not been indexed. I have restarted baloo repeatedly and they
never get indexed, it re-indexes what it had before.

I think the problem is more than just misidentifying mime types.

I had to disable baloo because it somehow seriously interferes with my
ability to move files from the admin PC to the server. With baloo running
on the server any attempt to transfer files to it results in very slow
transfer speeds and on occasion failure to complete the move and this is
occuring while the indexer is reporting idle.
