In Nautilus, I would like to add columns displaying metadatas contained in files.

This is mostly useful with audio and pictures files:

Columns would be editable in the standard 'View - Visible Columns' option in Nautilus

nautilus-columns from ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 works great. You can install it with:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nautilus-columns

These are the columns that are added:

There may be a problem with nautilus-python and this extension (maybe just as of Ubuntu 13.04). If so, try one of these two solutions:

1.

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1 /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1
sudo ldconfig

2.
