Neat idea. Something like this proves it works (with nautilus-python):
import nautilus
class TypembemsExtension(nautilus.InfoProvider):
def __init__(self):
pass
def update_file_info(self, f):
if f.is_mime_type ("image/png"):
f.add_emblem ("favorite")
The tricky bit will be drawing enough emblems for the relevant types,
and maintaining the map. Really this will require the concept of
"private emblems", so that they don't appear selectable by the user.
