I'm using getfattr and setfattr for now. Actually I made two scripts

Could you mail me the script, please? I found a problem tho. When a name value (user.comment for example) is
set for a file and later the file is modified, the name value vanishes, unlike what you mentioned earlier about file notes.
I noticed this too. This is a major flaw. I was thinking of writing a script that first extracts all name/value pairs from a file, write them to a temp file (like getfattr -d >tmp-file), then move the file and set the name/value pair again. But as I have never done scripting in GNU/Linux before, I first have to figure out how this works. I know how to do it in AmigaDOS, though :-) BTW: what I mentioned earlier about file notes, that they stick to a file whatever you do with it, applies to AmigaDOS. Greetings, Manon.
