Add option to clone archive tags to unarchived files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be very useful if The Unrachiver could clone metadata from the archive 
file such as 
Spotlight Comments and More Info to the files and folders that are extracted 
from that archive. This 
way extracted files will not become unassociated from their origin and could 
still be easily found 
with Spotlight or any other tagging/searching software.

Hmm. I see the point, but I'm not sure what the exact behaviour should be. 
Copying 
metadata to all files might not make sense in every case. Copying it to the 
top-level 
folder might be, though.

Thoughts?

Copying metadata to top-leve folder definitely makes sense. I agree that doing 
that for all files might not be 
applicable in all scenarios, but on the other hand it wouldn't hurt and it 
won't break anything. Files might 
eventually get scattered and this would ease tracking...
Anyway, a simple toggle or check box could cover both cases.

Cheers!

I'd like to see at least the 'where from' metadata propagated to all extracted 
files. I expect the policy would be different on a term to term basis.
