Bug ID: 523066
Summary: Feature: Ability for Baloo to optioally track
'offline' external drives for the purpose of x-reffing
against preexisiting content
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
Since Baloo is already indexing external drives that are mounted on the
filesystem, allow the user to create an 'offline' index that can be
cross-referenced in order to see if certain content exists on said drive
without having to connect that drive to find out.
I don't have a proposal for how the UI/UX of this should look like. But I would
like to get the conversation going for it and also see if there is real
interest for this.
Use cases: External USB storage, external cloud storage that isn't always
mounted, external hard drives.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. n/a
OBSERVED RESULT
Currently this functionality is outsourced to 3rd party applications.
EXPECTED RESULT
In-house option to index and maintain databases for all externally mounted
filesystems, of course at the users consent.
