You have done it correctly. Looking at your code, I don't see much you can do to improvie things with just sub-classing MenuProvider. One thing you can do is subclass nautilus.InfoProvider and use the update_file_info (or in the case of git master, update_file_info_async) to collect file information asynchronously when the directory is loaded, and then when the user right-clicks on the file and get_file_items() is called, the information is already there. That may add more complexity than you want to deal with though (for maybe not much benefit).
