Bug ID: 409881
Summary: Display a notification when indexing first begins
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: stefan.bru...@rwth-aachen.de
Reporter: n...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
When a machine is first booted and indexing begins, performance may be reduced,
and files won't display complete metadata until it's done. However this is not
obvious to the user. On macOS, a persistent notification is shown to
communicate this information, after years and years of users complaining about
it.
We might want to consider doing the same, and when indexing is started for the
very first time, display a persistent notification informing the user that
until indexing is done, performance may be impacted and extended file metadata
won't be available. This notification could even have a button to pause the
indexing (to accommodate users with immediate performance needs) and a button
to open the KCM for configuring the indexing behavior.
