Hi Patrick, Indeed that is how you should do it for the 0.5 series. Alternatively you can go to Settings/Add folders, where you will be able to select folders to add to the desired section (music, video, pictures).
However if you installed elisa from the package manager it is likely that you got version 0.3.5, which does not allow to select folders from the UI. My suggestion is that you use the packages from our PPA at https://launchpad.net/~elisa-developers/+archive, you will get the latest version (currently 0.5.12). In the package manager, go to Settings/Repositories > Third-Party Software, and add those two lines: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/elisa-developers/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/elisa-developers/ubuntu hardy main You will now be able to upgrade elisa to version 0.5.12.
