"nautilus-columns" package not working on ubuntu 13.04

[hg088]

This package allowed nautilus to read file metadata and sort files based on it.

But this stopped working since i installed ubuntu 13.04.

Any way of making this package work.

I would also like to use nautilus-columns, but installation of it does not change anything. Does anyone know what the problem is? Isn't it supposed to work for 13.04?

It should work but theres a bug in ubuntu 13.04 that breakes all python extensions for nautilus. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=878683&page=15

Has anyone managed to get this to work? I installed nautilus-python test builds, but nautilus-columns still does not seem to work... Do I need to do something, beyond installation, to get nautilus-columns to work?

Went ahead & installed the n-colums package in 13.04 & tried on a music album, for the most part works ok, didn't get genre or bitrate from flacs. see screen
Not all that thrilled with, don't like how it truncates folder name if a number of colums are added. (not in screen

Did you restart nautilus?
If starting nautilus from terminal are there any errors shown?

It does work. I on the other hand am a bit dizzy... I confused Nautilus with Thunar (Thunar is my default file manager). It works fine with Nautilus.

That successfully fixes nautilus python in raring, thanks for that

In case the above ppa doesn't work (it didn't for me), you could try the following (which did work on my computer -- x86_64, linux Mint 15):

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