metadata in unavailabe in details tab

[userDepth]

There are many occasions where being able to see the details tab from properties in Caja would be useful. To see what I mean right click a video file inside Caja and see there's no information on the audio/video codecs.

Can you reproduce this bug with newer version of Ubuntu MATE?

Ubuntu MATE 16.04 and Caja 1.12 are EOL and no longer supported. The upstream bugs have been fixed/closed
