    Hi,

    First a big thank to everyone involved. It was nearly smooth.

    Thanks.

    I still have some minor annoyance (my taste):

    1) The list of recent element is empty and generates errors on sqlite,

    I've not paid attention to that. If you (or others) want to diagnose this a bit further and try to find if it's an upstream or packaging problem that would be welcome.

    I've had other feedbacks that baloo was not started or not correctly running, maybe that's why ?

    […]

    3) The battery icon is not always displayed. I have to enter
    the "hidden icons" menu to see it. Found no way to make it stick on menu bar. SOme other icons that I had are still there. Dunno why specifically this one disapperared.

    This looks like [1], fixed in Plasma 6.2.

    I did "balooctl purge" initially on two machine to let it reindex
    everything with all the fixes and improvements in place.

    In both cases baloo stopped indexing, I bet it crashed, once on the
    initial run. I logged out and logged again. Then it completed. Since then
    it appears to be working just fine.

    For the private laptop data only since quite recently it is capable of indexing the files with contents. AFAIK it was working with the most recent Plasma 5 version in Debian already, but it may be that I switched it to
    index with contents for Plasma 6. Do not remember exactly. For a long time
    I had set it to only index filenames.

    That are my findings for Baloo.

    There had been quite a number of improvements. For example meanwhile Baloo used the filesystem ID if available and thus does not mistake the very same BTRFS filesystem for a new filesystem and reindex everything once in a
    while. That was very annoying.

    But there also have been quite a number of resource usage related fixes.

    Best,

    OK. Any hint to search if baloo is starded? I noticed I had still the
    qt5 version needed by gwenview. Removed but misses gwenview.

    ps ax | grep baloo
    10229 pts/3 S+ 0:00 grep baloo

    Any way to start it?

    Check if its enabled in Systemsettings / Desktop / Search. If not, enable
    it and relog into the session.

    balooctl6 status should show Baloo as running and probably doing some
    work.

    If you want to reindex everything, you can try:

    balooctl6 suspend; balooctl6 purge; balooctl resume

    (or relog)

    I aliased balooctl to balooctl6 in my shell configuration file.

    The output could look like this:

    % LANG=C.UTF-8 balooctl status
    Baloo File Indexer is running
    Indexer state: Idle
    Total files indexed: […]
    Files waiting for content indexing: 0
    Files failed to index: 0
    Current size of index is […] GiB
