Description Alex Dubov 2010-01-28 17:00:36 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #116617 +++

Version:            (using KDE KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.4
OS:                Linux

Add support for extended attributes to KFileItem class and, desirably, file managing applications/libraries depending on it. Most modern filesystems support this unappreciated, yet useful feature.

This is a regression compared to kde3.

Posix APIs in question:
getxattr, lgetxattr, fgetxattr
setxattr, lsetxattr, fsetxattr
