Several ways:
1) Stop the baloo_file process and start it on a konsole tab, you see its
activity there then. A balooctl restart on a Konsole may do the trick as well.
2) Run kdebugdialog and activate debug for baloo_file, then run tail -f
~/.xsession errors – This works as well, it may need a restart of Ballo file
indexer tough.
3) With an running baloo_file process on the fly:
strace -e stat -p $(pgrep baloo_file) 2>&1 | grep -v "share/baloo"
if you want to see a bit more than use -e open
So check whether a file is index you can try balooshow command:
martin@merkaba:~> echo "Bla" > hallo
martin@merkaba:~> balooshow hallo
Object::connect: No such signal org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceAdded(QString)
Object::connect: No such signal
org::freedesktop::UPower::DeviceRemoved(QString)
426864 /home/martin/hallo
martin@merkaba:~> rm hallo
You can always create a file like this to test whether any of the three ways to
above to watch baloo works for you.
