We're in 2016 now. And KDE *still* doesn't make it easy to disable their |
4 |
damn indexer. I've never wanted to search through my menu, I've never |
5 |
wanted it to remember every damn file I've opened. It's a personal |
6 |
preference. |
7 |
|
8 |
WHY can't we have a single checkbox to disable all this crap? I found |
9 |
one and it didn't work (search in system settings.) Then when I was |
10 |
searching around online I found out it will reenable itself magically |
11 |
randomly anyway! |
12 |
|
13 |
I also tried balooctl and it didn't work either. |
14 |
|
15 |
So I got very pissed off at this point and did the following: |
16 |
|
17 |
$ chmod 444 ~/.kde4/share/apps/RecentDocuments/ |
18 |
$ rm /usr/bin/*baloo* |
19 |
|
20 |
Rebooted |
21 |
|
22 |
$ rm -rf ~/.config/baloo* |
23 |
$ rm -rf ~/.local/share/baloo |
24 |
|
25 |
Rebooted again |
26 |
|
27 |
...and FINALLY it stopped indexing and remembering stuff that I told it |
28 |
not to. It still remembers the last application used, but I don't really |
29 |
care about that. I've put those commands in a script in /etc/local.d too. |
30 |
|
31 |
Just figured others might want the info. A note, searching for files |
32 |
through Dolphin can be affected by this. I never do that myself, I |
33 |
always use a shell (konsole, etc.) |
34 |
|
35 |
I've been using and tweaking for a couple hours now and haven't seen any |
36 |
ill side-effects from my "nuclear" option. |
37 |
|
38 |
One other gripe on KDE5: it's 2016, why can't we use the meta key to pop |
39 |
up the menu? Really... |
40 |
|
41 |
Other than that, things are a bit different. I'm not sure I like the |
42 |
flat look yet. After the upgrade for some reason the K menu was |
43 |
invisible, but when I set the theme to Oxygen it was visible again? I |
44 |
thought that was odd, did anyone else experience that? |
