Preserve extended attributes for usr.xdg.tags and com.apple tags [$70] #4216

Open spoorun opened 7 years ago

Unexpected data loss for KDE and Mac users

Apple stores com.apple tags such as com.apple.FinderInfo com.apple.ResourceFork com.apple.lastuseddate#PS

KDE saves and reads tags from file metadata using extended attributes (xattr) - specifically using usr.xdg.tags

Currently, Nextcloud does not preserve that information, let-alone utilise it for tagging.

Example:

User of KDE or other tagging systems applies a tag to a file. File is synced to Nextcloud. File is downloaded or recovered from Nextcloud.

Expected: Xattr tag information (using usr.xdg.tags) is preserved.

Actual: Xattr data is not preserved, the tag is lost.
