And KDE *still* doesn't make it easy to disable their damn indexer. I've never wanted to search through my menu, I've never wanted it to remember every damn file I've opened. It's a personal preference. WHY can't we have a single checkbox to disable all this crap? I found one and it didn't work (search in system settings.) Then when I was searching around online I found out it will reenable itself magically randomly anyway! I also tried balooctl and it didn't work either. So I got very pissed off at this point and did the following: $ chmod 444 ~/.kde4/share/apps/RecentDocuments/ $ rm /usr/bin/*baloo* Rebooted $ rm -rf ~/.config/baloo* $ rm -rf ~/.local/share/baloo Rebooted again ...and FINALLY it stopped indexing and remembering stuff that I told it not to. It still remembers the last application used, but I don't really care about that. I've put those commands in a script in /etc/local.d too. Just figured others might want the info. A note, searching for files through Dolphin can be affected by this. I never do that myself, I always use a shell (konsole, etc.) I've been using and tweaking for a couple hours now and haven't seen any ill side-effects from my "nuclear" option. One other gripe on KDE5: it's 2016, why can't we use the meta key to pop up the menu? Really... Other than that, things are a bit different. I'm not sure I like the flat look yet. After the upgrade for some reason the K menu was invisible, but when I set the theme to Oxygen it was visible again? I thought that was odd, did anyone else experience that? Dan
