I agree with Dariem.  I tried to fiddle with Nautilus metafiles the
other day and found out that there was no API I could tap into without
resorting to reading source.  My use case was simple: for every
subfolder in a given folder, assign first image contained therein as
that folder's thumbnail image.  I feel like basic metafile API should be
more exposed.  What is the official stance on this?  Is Nautilus to
remain a fairly monolithic beast, or is it due to lack of
time/interest?  

Best,
