Nice work on the new API, very much better than the sort of slap-dash version in the original. Unfortunately, as the inline comments suggest, needs a bit of work ;)

This line crashes for me, when attempting to read the __location property (also, a quick check and it looks to be crashing on the very first result):

Are you sure?

src/contentlist/ContentList.cpp
140–142

This breaks the consumption end for Peruse, so even if files are found for me (with baloo turned off), it fails to add the files properly, as it doesn't read filePath. It likely is a bug in the original use anyway, but this still breaks it, so it needs changing there as well :)

215

This was deliberate, please put back the original logic. Not too keen on returning in the middle of functions unless it's unavoidable within reason.

248

surely this would be be if(d->autosearch) { automatically start search } ;)

  • Change ContentList::data back to single return point
  • Fix FileSystem searcher when locations is not set
  • Properly perform mime-type filtering in Baloo searcher
  • Use the right role from ContentList for retrieving the file path
  • Simplify if statement in ContentList::componentComplete

It seems Baloo passes an invalid runnable. :( Fixed now by using a lambda as discussed on IRC. :)

Qt5::Gui is needed for QImageReader::supportedFormats(), which is used in ContentQuery.cpp line 151. I could use a hardcoded list for images as well, but I was hoping to have a bit more flexible approach for mapping "query type" to mimetype.

I also originally assumed Qt5Qml was already linking to Qt5Gui but that seems to be false. :)

src/contentlist/ContentList.cpp
140–142

Woops, you are right. Fixed the use in BookListModel. Are there any other places where ContentList is used directly? As far as I could tell, everything else uses BookListModel.

215

Ah, I generally prefer early return instead. But fair enough, changed it back.

248

Hah, good point. I think I originally had some more code following this if, but now it no longer makes sense indeed. :)

Right! It looks like this does the trick! Push away :D

Silly Baloo... Oh well, this is nice and clean anyway, so that works! :) Yay for lamdas ;)

src/contentlist/CMakeLists.txt

Right, i guess that's ok, yeah - certainly better than a random bit of hardcoding and such :)

src/contentlist/ContentList.cpp
140–142

Thank you! Nope, i deliberately kept it centralised, so there's only the only place that connects to the ContentList :)
