The user can just use exludeFolders = /storage/stuff if he wants to exclude it. Why not? This kind of (partial) symlink support is quite easy to implement. And the more restrictions users have, the worse their experience is. (I've just stumbled upon this issue randomly, when added some folder - not even thinking at that time that it is a symlink - and, after some time, found out that files there were indexed and my exclusion rule was silently ignored) REPOSITORY R293 Baloo REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D16878 To: poboiko, #frameworks, #baloo Cc: bruns, kde-frameworks-devel, ashaposhnikov, michaelh, astippich, spoorun, ngraham, abrahams
