Please preserve OSX tags

[carlwarnick]

I use the operating system's tags to store information (for example watched or unwatched, who has watched show, etc.) about an .mp4 file. If you convert a file it strips those tags. It would be better if we could preserve those operating system tags (labels). Thanks.

I do not know how to add this function to MetaZ, but I know how to do this on the commandline: xattr

Here's part of my script to copy over tags:

finderInfo=$(xattr -px com.apple.FinderInfo "$inFile")
userTags=$(xattr -px com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags "$inFile")
xattr -wx com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags "$userTags" "$outFile"
xattr -wx com.apple.FinderInfo "$finderInfo" "$outFile"
