How to add columns displaying Audio and Photo (EXIF) metadata information into Nautilus list view

Solution 1:

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:

Follow this excellent how-to: Adding metadata columns in Nautilus (Ubuntu).

Here is a screenshot I took after following the how-to:

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:

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