Yeah, I'm the one who suggested the OP needs semantic desktop even |
| 54 |
though he clearly stated he doesn't: |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
"It makes no sense to index any of this, so ditching it feels good." |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Perhaps it's a language barrier. I'll state it in simpler words: The |
| 59 |
OP does not want to index any of his files. He wants to disable that |
| 60 |
functionality. He has not indicated that he wants to switch from KDE to |
| 61 |
something else. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
OK, another poster then showed up and suggested that he needs something |
| 64 |
other than KDE. That didn't make any sense since the OP is using KDE |
| 65 |
and just wants the indexing stuff gone, which is what I pointed out. |
| 66 |
Then you come along with the statement as a reply to it: |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
"and semantic-desktop was developed to help people with such workloads." |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
which doesn't make any sense with the flow of the discussion. Semantic |
| 71 |
desktop was invented for that, but the OP clearly stated he doesn't want it. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
I am not the one who doesn't read the thread before writing my email. |
