   Again, depending on your settings, refreshing the media library is a =
background operation and doesn't require you to open them.  It doesn't =
make sense to as the metadata is used to organized and search your =

update the library.  You can press F3 to see if your are configured = to

included too.  It may be that you have the middle setting which updates =
only files that have no metadata and all but four of your files had = some.

  I didn't OPEN the files in question and why four out of a dozen or so? =
