--- Comment #1 from Rob Collins <robcollin...@gmail.com> ---
I tracked down the cause of this - an apparently corrupt baloo file indexer
database, To fix the problem I did the following in a terminal:
1. balooctl purge
2. balooctl disable
3, rm -rf ~/.local/share/baloo
4. balooctl enable
5. balooctl resume
You can check baloo's progress by typing balooctl status periodically and you
can see "Files waiting for content indexing: __" tells you how many files left
to index. When that entry goes to zero you know baloo is finished for now. If
everything has worked properly the entry "Files failed to index:__" should say
"0".
I fired up Elisa again after all that an presto - all my albums are now neatly
appearing as a library. As a side note you can check if your music files have
been baloo-indexed properly by going into Dolphin and opening a folder with
music files, right clicking , and adding in (eg) "album" or "artist" columns.
If those columns are still empty and you know there are metatags inside them,
then you know you've still got a problem with baloo indexing, and therefore
Elisa won't work.
