Correction: Vishesh refuses to implement every feature that some vocal people 
might want.

I haven't re-read every comment, but I'm staggered that a lot of people have a 
strong opinion and no problem to rudely demand their wishes fulfilled, yet 
nobody just opens an editor and comes up with an advanced Baloo setup UI. 
That's something that can be done within the timeframe of one day, as it 
really only needs to write a config file and perhaps do a few dbus calls. It's 
the easiest kind of thing one can imagine.

Why Vishesh has to do all that to your liking escapes me. This is Free 
software, go and fix it if it annoys you so much. Don't destroy the motivation 
of one of our core developers by meeting him with unreasonable requests 
presented in an unbecoming fashion.

Cheers,
