<ol class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">baloo is unmaintained and the bugs pile up, just check bugs.kde.org for that, not sure if adding yet-an-other feature to it is a good idea</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">as vhanda said, perhaps better use other API for that</li>

<p>Those APIs are not free and takes some kernel resources.</p>

<p>I was hoping to support the same file indexer that Plasma is using hence my work on Baloo. On my roadmap, I plan to also support Tracker.<br />
For Windows and Android, I have implemented an indexer with Qt + KFileMetaData APIs. I was just hoping that Baloo would provide live refresh of queries. I have to check if Tracker does it or not.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R293 Baloo</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D4911" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D4911</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>mgallien, vhanda<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>cullmann, apol, Frameworks<br /></div>
