A few Minutes after my initial success this morning with Nepomuk, I added a new directory of music to what Nepomuk is scanning. It successfully began scanning that directory. Unfortunately, Nepomuk must have started over Completely from the beginning, because the files that Had been successfully scanned a mere few minutes ago, now the metadata is gone/not viewable in dolphin. So, for the benefit of anyone else that may having similar Nepomuk instability, or may have it in the future, I eagerly await your input on this, so that the fix for this particular Nepomuk madness will be publicly known :) Steven P.
