Another thing that I just remembered is that right now I have Nepomuk set
like this-
/media/Data/Music (index)
/media/Data/Photos (index)
/media/Data/Pictures (index)
/media/Data/Other/Downloads (index)
Now, /media/Data/Other has dozens of other dirs I don't want to index. If I
only have a blacklist, I'll have to sit and add each of those dirs manually
to the blacklist :(

It's not about the width. The single folder looks much better and is less<br>
scarier.<br>
