Bug ID: 488845
Summary: Attempting to search for files using "From Here
(folder)" errors with "kf.baloo: Failed to add exclude
folder config entry for /home/username"
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: search
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: eamonn...@protonmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When pressing Ctrl+F to activate the search functionality in Dolphin, running
via shell shows that when trying to search using the "From Here (folder)"
option (where "folder" is the current folder), it shows an error with
"kf.baloo: Failed to add exclude folder config entry for /home/username".
Using the "Your files" option can find the files no problem, although it takes
a long time.
I checked the File Indexer which I believe uses Baloo, and I can see my home
folder listed there twice: One as "indexed" and the other as "not indexed".
It's the exact same path, "/home/username". The trash icon to delete the entry
is greyed out. Perhaps this conflict of enabled and disabled indexing is
causing the problem?
This functionality works fine on a brand new laptop, but not on my PC which has
had this Arch installation for a number of years. As far as I can remember, it
never worked on my PC, but I am only getting around to reporting it now when I
happened to notice by accident that it works on my laptop.
Note: KFind works without issue, and it's how I've been working around this
problem for the last while, before I got the laptop and noticed Dolphin's Find
works fine there.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Press Ctrl+F to open the Find toolbar
3. Select the "From Here" tab
4. Search for a file
5. Perhaps specific to my PC, the results won't show up.
OBSERVED RESULT
"From Here" does not show files any files on my PC and fails immediately.
EXPECTED RESULT
"From Here" should work as it does on at least one other installation of Plasma
