When I open a directory with music and switch to details view, then enable some columns with metadata related to music files, the columns are all empty. But I can see the metadata in the sidebar just fine. Same for videos and photos. See the attachment.

Hi - assuming that you don't have baloo file indexing enabled for the /mnt filepath shown in that screenshot (since it wouldn't be by default in most distributions), then this would fall under the bug I'm linking this to. Showing metadata in the Details view is currently dependent on the location being indexed by baloo.

If you do have indexing enabled for that path, please feel free to reopen!

Thanks!
