I noticed that there's an Xattr QS Plugin at Quicksilver Xattr Plugin

It

evolved
much since then, in any case.
Has anyone tried to compile it or use it?
I was thinking that it would be handy to have for a custom
receipt/expense
report tracking system that I've got. Right now, I encode a bunch of
meta
data into the filename (date, purpose, customers, etc), but that gets
unwieldy. Xattrs would be a deterministic way that doesn't involve a
lot
of parsing.
Thoughts?
That looks like the skeleton of a new “element” for the thing Alcor
was working on to replace Quicksilver. I can’t see any actual
functionality in there.
I assume tagging is mainly what you’re after. I’d recommend taking a
look at the File Attribute plug-in. It allows tagging (using the actual
OS-supported tags which are Xattr-based) among other things.
It also allows you to add things to the catalog based on the presence of
one or more tags.
