I've noticed some time ago that on Leopard any extended attributes
(such as openmeta tags) are preserved by a Save performed by any
Cocoa document-based app (such as Skim). Unless of course the app
explicitly removes or replaces some EAs. However, when a file is
overwritten using a SaveAs or Export (=SaveTo) action, the EAs are
all removed. I do think this behavior makes sense. OTH, on Tiger the
EAs were always cleared, even by a Save action.
Ahaa! Didn't knew that.
Unfortunately I based my "workflow-question" on the speculation
what would happen if Skim did away with these openmeta-based tags
and how to get them re-applied. So it appears everything is well.
BTW, I did add a small openmeta feature in Skim. Skim will read the
tags. They will be accessible through applescript only for now,
maybe in the future they will be displayed in the Info window.
Normally they won't be saved though to avoid overwriting. Unless for
SaveAs and Export, because then (as I said above) there won't be
tags to overwrite anyway. And I do think it makes sense to have the
same tags attached to the same document saved in a different
location. Does that make sense?
Excellent!
Tags will be visible read-only in the next nightly, below the Skim
note, and they'll be accessible through AppleScript. That will be
all for the next release.
…
Looking forward to this, never did look at a Skim-nightly. Does this
mean to see them I'd need Applescript(s) or to do anything with them?
Thanks,
Rolf
