KFind not using locate database

[alienheartbeat]

Binary package hint: kfind

When using KFind in Kubuntu 7.04
even if I check "use files index"
it does not appear to use the database
created by slocate/locate/updatedb
ie /var/slocate/slocate.db.

A search in KFind with "use files index" checked
is about as slow as one without it checked,
compared to using locate from the command line which is instant
(so obviously using slocate.db).

I can find no config file that specifies the database that kfind is to use
in order to correct it.

Reproduce on KDE 4, it might well be that kfind just expects a different db location than ubuntu is using. Of course the checkbox could as well be horrible broken ;-)

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
