<p>Currently, there is some garbage left in a few config files (potentially any application which <strong>writes</strong> some baloo config keys), on my system:</p>
<p>balooctl: ~/.config/baloorc<br />
systemsettings/search: ~/.config/kcmshell5rc, ~/.config/systemsettingsrc</p>
<p>I am not aware of any bad side effects having these garbage entries. baloo itself (or any of its library functions) newer read these keys from<br />
the mentioned files, only from ~/.config/baloofilerc.</p>
<p>Adding cleanup code is of course possible, but this code:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">has to be run at an appropriate time (each config read? write? session start?)</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">has to parse the config (at least systemsettingsrc is quite large)</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">is extra code which has to be maintained</li>
</ul>
<p>As this change is an improvement even without the cleanup, I would postpone the cleanup.</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/D16392">https://phabricator.kde.org/D16392</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>bruns, Baloo, Frameworks, poboiko, ngraham<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>kde-frameworks-devel, ashaposhnikov, michaelh, astippich, spoorun, ngraham, bruns, abrahams<br /></div>
