What you need are alternate data streams. Look at the
streams_xattr module in Samba 3.3.

[Samba] Additional file info (Properties->Summary)

2009-08-05 Thread kubek1982

Hello all,

I am dealing with a following problem - I can't see additional 
information about few file types stored in samba share.
I mean file fields like "Author" and "Subject" which are accessible from 
Windows - Properties->Summary.
I can put data to these fields when the file is stored on Windows File 
System. But whenever I transfer it to samba share, these values are 
lost. What is more, tab Properties->Summary is no longer accesible (so I 
could put proper values once more). This concerns inter alia the 
following file types:

*.txt
*.msg / *.eml
*.mpg
etc...

What is more, i.e. for *.pdf files, data in fields "Author" and 
"Subject" is not lost, but is not editable when the file is on samba share.


For *.doc, *.xls (MS Office) it is possible to access and modify 
"Properties->Summary" tab even for files from samba share.


Could You please let me know how can I make samba (or Windows) enable 
users to access and/or modify the additional file fields which work with 
MS Office well?


Thanks in advance for Your help,

Chris
