{{PreferenceHelp}}

This module provides settings for [[Special:myLanguage/Nepomuk|Nepomuk]] and [[Special:myLanguage/Glossary#Strigi|Strigi]]. '''Nepomuk''' allows you to attach metadata to your files, and to access this metadata in any application that supports '''Nepomuk'''. '''Strigi''' indexes such information and makes it availlable for intelligent searching.

In order to make use of these services, you must activate them in the <menuchoice>Basic Settings</menuchoice> tab.

In the <menuchoice>Desktop Query</menuchoice> tab, you can configure which folders you want '''Strigi''' to index. Click on the <menuchoice>Customize index folders...</menuchoice> in the right side of the window. This brings up a dialog. In the left part of this dialog, you will find a tree view of your file system. Here you can check those folders you want indexed. In the right half is a list of patterns; files matching any of these patterns are not indexed.

Options for backup are found in the <menuchoice>Backup</menuchoice> tab. '''Nepomuk''' is capable of creating regular backups of data that could not be restored otherwise. You can choose to have backups made automatically at regular intervals, or you can make a backup manually. There is also an optin to restore a backup. Automatic backups are stored in <tt>$KDEHOME/share/apps/nepomuk/backupsync/backups/</tt>.

In the <menuchoice>Advanced Settings</menuchoice> tab, you can decide how much memory '''Nepomuk''' is allowed to use.
