Description bes1002t 2020-04-19 22:53:04 UTC
Description of problem:
Only a few extensions for nemo are included to nemo-extensions package.
For instance the 'nemo-media-column' extension is missing.

Actual results:
I have to get the nemo-media-column extension working manually.

Expected results:
nemo-media-column extension is installed together with nemo-extensions rpm

I have no interest in packaging nemo-media-column

@leigh scott why not? This is a very useful extension.

Very common use cases are:
- show creation date of images, for instance vacation pictures
- show meta information for music collections to get a better overview
- order your files without renaming everything

It's causes excessive load in nemo

I can understand your concerns regarding this issue, but this is a very limited view of this extension. This issue only occurs with a few specific PDFs, in most use cases this extension is simply working. Of course showing EXIF data is slower than not showing EXIF data, but I think the user could simply decide himself whether he needs the features of this extension or not.

Maybe there is a way to include the nemo-media-columns extension but disable it per default? Then the user has to decide explicitly that he wants to use the extension by enabling it in nemo settings.
