Hi,

I've recently upgraded to 4.4.0, and noticed a lot of memory being used by nepomuk as strigi was indexing my code folder, which contains numerous branches and thousands of files overall. I decided that I didn't want this, so I went to the File Indexing tab of the Nepomuk configuration and unchecked the relevant folders.

However, it continued to index within them. So I tried stopping and restarting the service, but that had no effect.

How do I get it to take notice of the new setting?

Also, if I remove a folder from Strigi's radar after it has already indexed a considerable amount of it, will it remove that data from the index or will it hang around?

At this time, indexed content will remain in the index.

Strigi should not continue to index content it previously was indexing if settings determine it shouldn't be, especially after it has been restarted. Please file a bug report.
