10.4: Use Automator to batch add Spotlight comments
how are spotlight comments stored? are they stored in a separate "fork" of the file? if so, is the information preserved when files are copied/moved?
10.4: Use Automator to batch add Spotlight comments

Spotlight comments seem to be the old Get Info comments renamed and the same under the covers: i.e Retrospect and StuffIt don't save them, and the Finder loses them on a fairly regular basis.
All Metadata is saved with the file (in forks)
All metadata is saved as part of the file and automatically copied along on HFS+ volumes. Only when using strange filesystems like FAT (MS-DOS), ._ files are created. Unless your backup utility uses nonstandard ways of copying things, all your metadata should be kept intact. |
