Howdy,
I'm using Filebot via a deb install on ubuntu 20.04. I'm renaming into a zfs pool with xattr=sa. The xattrs are being added to the files, but it's also creating the .xattr directory as well.
When I set useExtendedFileAttributes=false, it doesn't create either set of xattrs.
Is there a setting I can set to force it to only use the native xattrs?
Thank you!
.xattr and native xattr on zfs
Re: .xattr and native xattr on zfs
This is default behaviour. FileBot will only use native xattr by default. Please read xattr metadata for details. Please run filebot -clear-prefs to delete any custom settings that you may have set.caspolerdu wrote: ↑27 Jul 2022, 04:09 Is there a setting I can set to force it to only use the native xattrs?
Are you using the command-line? What's the command? What's the console output? Please read How to Request Help.
Did you enable the --apply metadata post-processing feature by any chance?

Re: .xattr and native xattr on zfs
Thank you for the quick reply. It was the `--apply metadata` feature being enabled. I'm sorry for wasting your time.
Thank you very much for the software and support work! I really appreciate it!

No worries. Ask anytime. Just make sure to paste command and console output next time so we can more easily see the goings-on.
