This helps where baloo has indexed the folders, you follow a symlink on the desktop and don't get any results when you search. "Case 1a" in the summary.... The "Link to Location (URL)" works like a change directory and not a symbolic link. Baloo will not automatically index anything pointed to using "Link to Location", you would need to make sure the destination folder was included in Baloo's "included folders" list (as per Case 2a...) In the case where Baloo has not indexed the folders, Dolphin does its own "there and then" recursive search and doesn't follow the "Link to Location" references (whereas it does follow symlinks, described in Case 3). There's a difference in behaviour here... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
