So of course I ran "balooctl check" which is supposed to "Check for any unindexed files and index them", but it doesn't do anything. I checked about 5 minutes later and the status is the same. I don't want to reindex everything (which I"ve had to do several times already with baloo in the past). Is there any way to force a check and index?

Nothing I can do will force it to index the dang file!

To force baloo to index all files (again) you could do the following: []stop baloo with `balooctl disable` []change your .config/baloofilerc and set initialIndexingDone=false [*]restart baloo with `balooctl enable; balooctl check`

But note this may have side effects, in case there are several files with the same name on your system. I guess it would be interesting to see if this is reproducible on another system (e.g. in a virtual machine). If your feeling of privacy permits - I would file a proper bug report.

I am pulling my hair out on this. If baloo "hangs" because of only one particular file, you should find it with: Code: Select all `qdbus org.kde.baloo /fileindexer org.kde.baloo.fileindexer.currentFile`
