I didn't say this patch would introduce a crash. I said that "something" crashes for "some" reason and you work around that by testing whether a file is present. Your own commit message clearly says that if - for any reason - ~/.local/share/baloo/index exists (eg. i touch it), things will crash again, what means that the actual problem is not resolved but just shadowed. - Thomas ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
