Well, thank you for your suggestion but I don't really think I will be
able in the future to maintain it... And since tracker itself contains
other nautilus extensions, I thought that (after a big long test) it
could be great if also the metadata extension would be added in the
official package.

Oh, and I forgot to tell you that the test I did wasn't so much useful
since I have the problem that the function tracker_metadata_get()
hardly ever returns valid metadata: always empty strings even if the
file is watched by tracker (I think this is a bug)
bye
