[digiKam-users] digikam file operations slowed down by baloo_file

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Baloo is the first KDE service that i remove immediately when i
install a fresh Plasma desktop. This service, even if it can be
interesting for end users to register all the kind of
documents/information, work badly and overload computer for nothing.

Sound like this kind of Plasma feature is technically badly designed
and not fianlized.

Just mu feedback as developper.

Regards

Gilles Caulier
