[SOLVED] Specify search folders for KDE's Baloo

snack · 2014-04-19 13:12:52

Since the web seems to be full of posts explaining how to disable Baloo I might be a bit against the tide with this request... Since I find Baloo very useful (I thought the same about Nepomuk) I'd like to extend its search range. Specifically, on my machine I have a secondary hard drive where I keep documents, music etc., but Baloo ignores it and it indexes only my home folder on the primary drive. The system settings allow only to set excluded folders and I didn't find any way to tell Baloo to index also my secondary hard drive. Is there a way to do it or is it a still-missing feature? Thanks.

When you mount your secondary hard drive, it gets automatically blacklisted.
You have to remove it from the blacklist in System Settings -> Desktop Search.

(if your disk doesn't appears, then please report the bug to KDE guys).

Baloo will not blacklist it next time ;-)

Thanks, it works as you said. I was sure I checked after mounting and didn't see the blacklisted drive, but now it's there and I must have been wrong...
BTW why do you keep changing your nickname?
