First of all: I am totally for xattr, thank you Vishesh for the great idea!
Maybe a strange idea, but it would resolve the privacy problem: Baloo could optionally encrypt all the attributes using a user defined password, meaning baloo stores encrypted strings as file attributes. I have no experience with file attributes, but I suppose the performance of search queries would suck, because of the decryption. There will always be users who do not have any idea of security, so I think it does not make sense to choose a technically inferior implementation by default, just because of people not understanding much of it anyway. Looking forward to the release! -- View this message in context: http://kde.6490.n7.nabble.com/Moving-Baloo-forward-tp1556434p1560700.html Sent from the kde-core-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
