Nope, this is fine. > I was reading about, and I think that the Filters can do that.

Since extended attributes are file system-specific, I think the right place to add code for this would be in the file system backend (FileSystemQueryable) rather than filters. > Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall.listxattr(info.FullName,out > XProperties); There is already a class in Beagle for working with extended attributes: Beagle.Util.ExtendedAttribute. You should use that instead, and add anything to it that you need. (For example, I don't think there is code to list them.) > AddProperty(Beagle.Property.NewKeyword("dc:"+PropertyName[PropertyName.Length-1 > ] , XValue.Trim('\0'))); "dc" is specifically the "Dublin Core" namespace; see dublincore.org for more info. You should probably name it something like "xattr:" + the property name. > With this I can see the extended properties with beagle-extract-content, but > I can't search by property:value... If you want generic text searches to match, you need to use the Beagle.Property.New() method instead of NewKeyword(). Keywords are for exact matches. If you want to add a special keyword in the search language (like how we have "album:foo" in the search match to "dc:album" = "foo"), then you need to use the PropertyKeyword attributes. Look at other filter or backend instances to see how to declare those.
