[frameworks-kio] [Bug 274327] file copying should preserve extended attributes

--- Comment #12 from funkybom...@gmail.com ---
I have just posted a bounty for this bug. I'd like to see this issue fixed for
both situations: 
1) when saving a file with extended file attributes
2) when copying a file/folder with extended file attributes

I know that this issue is multifaceted and serious, so this is my attempt to
give it some renewed visibility and momentum!

Please note that I will need to see it solved in the KDE Neon Developer edition
before I release the reward!
Happy coding! :)

Marking as major since this can cause silent data loss, and investigating what
it might take to produce a patch.

Yes, this should be implemented in the file kioslave (in the kio repository,
that would be src/ioslaves/file/file_unix.cpp).

I was about to file a new bug report before noticing this one. 

Dolphin doesn't preserve xattr when copying, even from ext4 to ext4.
I lost thousands of precious metadata because of this silent data loss. I
consider it serious.

cp DOES preserve extended file attributes with the -a flag. 

Thunar seems to preserve xattr when copying / moving files around already. 

Would this be difficult to implement in Dolphin? Is KIO the subsystem
responsible for this? I'm asking in order to look around the source code.

Thanks for your time.
