OpenMeta is a mac os x standard for storing searching and retrieving user entered meta data. It works with 10.5 and later, and allows tags, ratings, authors, etc to be defined on any file on os x. It uses extended attributes (xattr). Spotlight is used for searching.

Is there any way to prevent xattrs from being copied along with the file?
|
| |
Typically we want the metadata to remain with the file across copies and moves, but sometimes it is useful to know "the original file" that the user tagged, is there anyway to set the xattrs in such a way that they do not persist over copies but do persist over moves and "re-saves"? I know that for example kOMUserTags got changed to kMDItemOMUserTags because... more »

|
| |
Hi everyone - I have a weird one.
I use setUserTags:path: to set some data on a file. No error is
reported. I even traced each line as it executed, everything looks
good. In the debugger, after the call, I can also read the tags back
and get the new values. However, if I fire-up the command line, and... more »

NB, this only calls the CLI binary, and does not, e.g. use pyObjC

is somebody willing to 'clear-out' the bugs in openmeta cli?
|
| |
there are some bug-reports open for the openmeta cli for a long time, which are not 'accepted' and not cared about. I'd like to have a 'mdset' utility also, with which it would be possible to set arbitrary kMDItem* attributes at will from the commandline. I am not a programmer, so I would need some experts with me to... more »
