However these metafiles are only loaded once when started and then cached internally. That means you cannot edit the .metafiles and see the changes propagate into Nautilus without restarting. It seems the methods to modify the extension data (e.g. nautilus_file_set_metadata) are not exposed to the outside world in any way. Not even to Nautilus extensions. So you cannot call any methods do attach this metadata. I think your best bet is instead to look into some kind of metadata framework, to associate metadata with files outside of Nautilus. Look into something like Tracker. Tracker already has several Nautilus extensions (PropertyPageProvider, Sidebarextensions) that allow you to view your stored metadata within Nautilus. Also see Xesam. Best regards, Bruce P.S. Accidentally only replied to the original author.
