Description

Hi, I think Thunar needs a mediainfo plugin. It is the only major feature I miss on Xfce (Xubuntu). People expect to see a certain amount of information about a file when they open "Properties" window. While Thunar can provide enough information about common image files, it can't provide any information about common audio/video files. I know about the separate mediainfo software but the experience is not integrated. Caja has this ability with the "caja-mediainfo" plugin (which gets pre-installed on Ubuntu Mate). I'm hoping to see the same functionality on Xfce (Xubuntu).

Thank you for your really great work!
