Fixes one bug, and adds two new features. Can now autosave, to help you make workflows quicker and more reliable.
xattr
Why are some file metadata embedded in their main data, and others stored separately as extended attributes? How can I tell them apart?
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?
Why can’t other Macs and devices see custom folder and file icons in iCloud Drive? Why do some suddenly vanish?
Its documentation consists almost entirely of how-to recipes. Is there nothing more conceptual so we can understand its apparently random behaviour?
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.
Extended attribute editor with much enhanced interface, app inspection tool, compression tool designed for AirDrop use, and a simple extended attribute editor for Spotlight search.
