Bug ID: 484828
Summary: [Enhancement] Have Baloo split camelCase words
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 6.0.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: baloo-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kodyvonbar...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Baloo splits and searches when files and directories are the following:
1. kebab-case
2. snake_case
3. space separated
However, Baloo does not do well with camelCase. As someone who was using
camelCase for years, I just chalked it up as Baloo being bad for searching for
filenames, when it was just this kind of naming scheme that it was bad at.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Dolphin, create the following in some subdirectory: "oneFileTest.txt",
"one_file_test.txt", "one-file-test.txt", and "one file test.txt"
2. Use Baloo in Dolphin via `ctrl+f` and search for the strings "one", "file",
and "test", filtering them with the "Filter" feature (pressing `/` with the
preview pane focused) if needed
OBSERVED RESULT
All 4 of the results show up when you search "one" but the "oneFileTest.txt"
does not show up with the other searches
EXPECTED RESULT
All 4 of the results would ideally show up in all the searches
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch 6.8.2-arch2-1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For me, Baloo had a bit of a bad rep because I'd search for sub-strings of
filenames I knew existed, but it would not find because I was using camelCase
for years. I feel like if Baloo would work with camelCase and PascalCase like
it does the others, a lot of people would have a much better time using it.
