Fixes one bug, and adds two new features. Can now autosave, to help you make workflows quicker and more reliable.
metadata
Version 1.3 adds drag and drop onto a document window, and a Scratchpad to store keywords that you use often. For 10.14.6 and later.
Why are some file metadata embedded in their main data, and others stored separately as extended attributes? How can I tell them apart?
Second beta adds support for all metadata keys, has an extensive Help book, and saves results in a text file. Discover the keywords you can search for.
Automated image analysis and other tools store keywords in many different types of files. To search effectively for keywords, though, you need to know which terms have been used.
It can take many hours for files to be downloaded from iCloud. Apps must be able to cope with that, but how well does macOS?
At first it looks like iCloud Drive preserves all xattrs, but actually it cheats and show those stored locally. It’s different when you access the same files from another Mac.
Two metadata editors, and an app to improve your privacy by cleaning metadata and more. Updated for High Sierra and later.
Where to look for file metadata in the Finder, and how you can customise it, in spite of its apparent confusion. And how APFS takes care of extended attributes for you.
Finder Comments are accessible, easy to use, and unreliable because they rely primarily on data stored in a hidden file. Regular Comment extended attributes are more reliable.
