As promised I will not stop until I closed all Nepomuk crashes on bugs.kde.org. And I do not mean closing as in “WONTFIX/INVALID”. I mean really close as in “FIXED” or “DUPLICATE”.
This is the first status report on that effort: 106 bugs closed thus far. Sure, 96 of those are duplicates, but nonetheless it is a good start. In addition to that I posted patches for 6 bugs which still need testing.
More to come soon.

Awesome!! ’nuff said!
Hurray!
Yeah great! Have fun :)
I noticed you’ve been busy squashing bugs for the last few days ;) Thanks for fixing some really anoying (mostly startup) bugs!
And? How does it feel to lead the list of KDE bugresolvers?
Absolutely wonderful to see this level of commitment – deserves lot’s of support.
I am certain that people who really want to use Nepomuk and strigi et al will be very grateful once these fixes are in place.
I want to thank you, this is indeed VERY promising; I’m very happy to see this as I consider Nepomuk as the most buggy part of the KDE core.
Nonetheless, I’d like to point out that this post makes it obvious that you knew that Nepomuk was suffering from a loooot of severe bugs and you weren’t doing anything about them, didn’t this bother you when Mandriva was your employer?
I suspect that Mandriva had other goals in mind instead of bug fixing :(….
I just discovered you made k3b too! you are great!!! :D
thank you very much.. i would like to give you something for your work.. what about bic/iban ? i really do not want to setup any account on paypal or whatever but i definitely would use my netbanking account :)
Drop me an email at trueg@kde.org and I send you the account details. :)
done !
wow! I really appreciate your effort!
A simple question. I have external HDs and I’m loosing all my metadata on Nepomuk’s restart. How I must configure Nepomuk to avoid this? I was using “Deletion Blacklist”
Deletion Blacklist[$e]=/media/OneTouch4/,/media/HD1.5TB-01/
but actually is not working. I’m using KDE 4.7.1 openSUSE packages.
Ah yes, the deletion blacklist – it has been removed in 4.7 since the new external media handling makes it superfluous. Maybe there is still a problem.
Did you add the /media/OneTouch4 folder to the list of folders to index?
I think that I misunderstood the configuration:
Ignore…, Index… and Ask…
in the same place than indexed folder list and I think that strigi would index data in external HDs. But I don’t want to strigi index that external HDs, and I only want that Nepomuk don’t delete my metadata. You must be very careful about deleting data because Nepomuk removes relevant data often and restore utility, at least in my systems, is not working.
Fortunately I have an script to backup my metadata if not you could hear me crying even in Germany ;).
Well, actually even if you do not want to index removable media Nepomuk should never delete your manually added metadata like tags and stuff. It is does it is a bug.
All my data removed again, every time I update and I must restart KDE all my metadata in my external HDs disappears. This is really frustrating.
Maybe “Deletion Blacklist” is not so superfluous because I don’t have this problem when this option was available.
