Thanks for producing that useful page, and of course for all your past<br>
and current work on Nepomuk and Baloo. There is one statement there<br>
that makes me a little concerned:<br>
<br>
"This metadata is now stored with the extended attributes of the file<br>
instead of storing it in a separate database."<br>
<br>
Am I right in assuming that this means xattr? If so, would there be<br>
implications for cases where those extended attributes may not get<br>
preserved or are not supported:<br>
<br>
- simple copy/move of a file using cp/mv (with the default options)<br>
- copy/move of a file using KIO<br>
- network file systems (NFS or SMB)<br>
- backup/restore<br>
- FAT filesystems<br>
- platforms other then Linux<br>
<br>
Hoping that none of those will make normal use impossible, but if<br>
there would be problems or workarounds needed with any of these then<br>
they ought to be addressed early.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Vishesh, what about these^ ? I've seen the same concerns raised on the digikam ML.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div></div>-- <br><div><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)">Martin Klapetek | KDE Developer</span></div>
