Feature Request: "nemo-media-columns" plugin activated by default

[alexanderdd]

 * Nemo version 5.2.4
 * Distribution Mint 20.3
 * 64 bit

Issue no metadata shown in file properties, you need to install nemo-media-columns or https://github.com/linux-man/nemo-mediainfo-tab

Steps to reproduce right-click file, go to properties don't find metadata/codec info

Expected behaviour right-click file, go to properties see a tab with metadata/codec information

That add-on does nothing for me (in LMDE5) - although opening a media file with mediainfo does!

You can add it to the right-click (context menu) as a nemo action, with a little nemo "coding":- In ~/.local/share/nemo/actions/ insert a text file called mediainfo.nemo_action containing

This will work on all kinds of video/audio sources. Example:-

This feature request is about changing the default behavior of nemo. (not about getting media info to work as a user by installing something or creating an action).

I fully realize that you are wanting an extra tab to be provided in the properties of video files. Since this may take some considerable time until it is provided (if ever); I thought you might like to give consideration to a simple add-on that could be used in the interim.
