Summary

Most of this code is lifted straight from the file indexing monitor KInfoCenter KCM.
If and when this lands, that becomes largely redundant and we could consider removing it.

Depends on D25743

FEATURE: 374474
FEATURE: 405307
FIXED-IN: 5.19.0

Test Plan

Everything seems to work.

I think most people don't know this, because it's an odd place to have controls to start and stop indexing. If and when this patch lands, I think we could consider removing the Baloo page entirely.

Why doesn't this come from the plugin?

kcms/baloo/package/contents/ui/main.qml
111

Is the space after %1 deliberate?

LowPowerIdle?

I'm not sure exactly what that means or how to do it; can you help me with it?

See D25743

Code here would become Baloo.Idle

This is the wrong way round

Edit, no it wasn't wrong

But I have found what is.

I export this as the class Baloo, but the import is also under Baloo

So for this to work against my patch it would be Baloo.Baloo.Suspended

Adjust to D25743 some more

Thanks @davidedmundson. There's one more FIXME in the code that I could use your help with, if you don't mind.

Monitor's property is called state. Lowercase S.

A switch statement here might make this a bit easier to read.

Done, but now opening the KCM prints a ton of these errors:

QMetaProperty::read: Unable to handle unregistered datatype 'Baloo::IndexerState' for property 'Baloo::Monitor::state'

Done, but now opening the KCM prints a ton of these errors:

Is this still an issue?

Re-add namespace

ngraham marked an inline comment as done.Jan 17 2020, 3:24 PM

Re-added the namespace but the state checking still doesn't seem to work properly.

That turned out to be an unrelated Baloo bug that was recently fixed by D27326.

This is ready for re-review.

Wouldn't it look better to use the new header/title component for the list view ?

Hmm, in this case it doesn't seem appropriate to me.

Can we please continue this over on Gitlab?
