hi
i'm using recoll since years on lxde environments and now tried to come back to it on kde, since the baloo search possibilities did not satisfy.

but:
with recoll 1.23.1 + xapian 1.4.4 on linux opensuse kde
recollindex hangs on a faulty files. no further reindexing!

erroneous files must be skipped and should be marked as such in the database in order to display them as a list of broken files (would help to clean them).

thanks a lot
ps:
it's brave to use the osp platfrom. sustainable?

    The failed files are indeed marked in the db, but there is currently no easy way to retrieve a list, unfortunately. There is a convoluted way to do it though, but this needs the xadump program which is not in the default package, so you'd have to build from source.

    I am adding a "list failed files" function to the TODO.

    You can add a -K option to the recollindex command line to avoid retrying files on which the indexer previously failed.

    What kind of file are these ?

    About opensourceprojects.eu: I wanted European hosting and there is not a lot of choice. I'll agree that it's less polished than github, but it works !

    hi @medoc
    thanks a lot for adding "list failed files"
    as soon as opensuse is providing the new version (now Recoll 1.23.1) i will give answer about the broken files.
    thanks
