Title:
Emblems and notes don't stay with files in an archive
Status in File Roller:
Confirmed
Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Use case:
Jacob creates a folder containing a number of text documents and
images. This folder is is work-in-progress for a architectural
project. He chooses to use emblems and file notes that are available
from Nautilus. Jacob doesn't know what "meta-data" is - all he knows
is that he is able to annotate his documents, indicating special
features and highlighting how they should be used.
He wants backup his work, as well as send it to Karol so that she can
add her annotation to the documents. Jacob uses the "Create archive "
feature in Nautlius to create a folder.tar.gz file. He sends it Karol
via email, and also copies the tarball to a CD.
Jacob is surprised to learn however that when Karol receives the file,
and extracts the archive to his computer, that none of his emblems or
notes are visible - the files have none of the annotations he has
worked on.
Jacob asks a techie, Leo, to look at why this didn't work. Leo very
quickly finds out that the archive in fact only records the file
contents, not the "meta-data" that Nautilus uses to record emblems and
notes.
Jacob feels a little deflated now that the emblems and notes are not
as useful.
