Description Ben Bucksch 2002-01-09 21:06:50 UTC 
Part of bug 68347.

Allow user to edit extended attributes of file, dirs, symlinks etc.. In the
properties window,
- add a new tab/pane, which shows a 2-column table.
- The left column contains the attribute name, the right one the content.
- The cells in the right column should be editable.
- The content might be bigger than what fits in a cell, so maybe there
  should be an option to view the content in its own window.
- There should be a button for each row to delete an attribute incl. content.
- There should be a way to add new attributes (name/content pairs).
Comment 1 Aschwin van der Woude 2002-10-28 12:54:12 UTC 
Off course this should work with attributes from other file-systems as
well. (e.g. ext2/ext3 as with the chattr/lsattr commands)
Comment 2 Ben Bucksch 2002-10-28 14:32:25 UTC 
Sure, and in fact, they are working on a common lib/API. But ext2's
attributes are by far not as useful as XFS'.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
