Quickest method to display image dimensions for files in Nautilus in List View?

What's the simplest and quickest way to display the dimensions of a folder containing images? There doesn't appear to be an option to do this in Nautilus. There's only so many right-click file > Properties > Image operations I can perform, before losing the will to live.


There is a package called nautilus-columns. I currently find it only in a PPA, which is documented here. With this little script its easy to add columns for various meta data for PDF, images, sound files etc. To sum all things up:

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

Finally go to Edit > Preferences > List Columns and enable all you need. Please note, its only working for the List-View.

Current versions of nautilus-columns can also be found here.


Use a script! For things not in Nautilus by default you can add scripts yourself.

More information on ubuntuforums. The topic starts out adding music information but from reply #32 it also involves images. Scripts (use at own risk) and instructions in the link.

Look at the screenshot for how this will look (it's for an older Ubuntu but this still works):
