Populating your movie files with scraped metadata is super cool! I hope I’ll be able to learn my way around Haiku enough to really get file attributes working for me.
By the way, if zipping a file before copying to another file system is the only sure way to preserve the bfs atttibutes, how do people automate regular backups to say a NAS or a USB drive?
Speaking for me, my NAS runs Haiku (only in a VM, though), and serves mostly BFS volumes. ‘rsync’ can preserve attributes, too, or you can use netfs. For other backups, I have external USB drives that use BFS as well.
But zipping your people files and put them onto a generic file system would work, too, as a backup.
Hi, I work on some electronics projects and as such I have many datasheets and documentation for chips and other components. Having the original download url, manufacturer name, component type, name/number and a few other things as attributes would be great. I don’t do a very good job of keeping that info filled in, however…
Previous versions of haikuweblit did fill in the url, i think we most that with the curl backend?
