Folders Colors does not works after upgrade to 17.10

I'm tying to change a folder color or add a emblem and nothing happen, in logs i can see the following error:

GLib.Error: g-io-error-quark: Error setting file metadata: can’t open metadata tree (0)
   File "/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/folder-color.py", line 140, in restore_color
    self.restore_color(item_path)
  File "/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/folder-color.py", line 96, in set_color
    self.foldercolor.set_color(item_path, self._get_skel_folder(item_path, icon)['name'])
 File "/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/folder-color.py", line 316, in _menu_activate_color

on the other hand, change a folder icon does not works too, I'm not sure if it's related.

Solution 1:

You can not use scripts for 17.04 (unity) on 17.10 (gnome) without altering all the code to function with gnome.

/usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/folder-color.py lines 140, 96, and 316 probably contain an instruction that is Unity related.

What version are you using? The one from here https://launchpad.net/folder-color does not have a restore_color nor a line 96. Can you add the lines from your version? (and maybe a few above and below it). Maybe it is an easy edit.
