It's not about the width. The single folder looks much better and is le= ss
scarier.

Isn't that just because you've bad experiences with Nepomuk? = Also, I'd love to
know what kind of files you don't want it to index. I understand source= code,
but what else?

What would you recommend? Apart from both white list and black lists,= which
I'm against.

Another thing that I j= ust remembered is that right now I have Nepomuk set like this-

/media/Data/Music (index)
/media/Data/Photos (index)
/media/Dat= a/Pictures (index)
/media/Data/Other/Downloads (index)

Now, /media/Data/Othe= r has dozens of other dirs I don't want to index. If I only have a blac= klist, I'll have to sit and add each of those dirs manually to the blac= klist :(
