Thank you for the very nice review of file notes. I wish this kinda
thing was there in one of the Linux FS. I do this kinda thing manually
when creating a file or a directory. I make a eradme.txt in every
directory where I put info about the directory and about each file I
create, be it notes or scripts or whatever.
Creating a readme.txt was the only thing I could think of too, to replace
File Notes. But it has the major disadvantage of making me edit that txt
every time when I add/delete/move/rename a file.
BTW: IIRC from C-programming (has been a very long time ago), AmigaDOS uses
a FileInfoBlock structure and that's where the file note (alias comment) is
stored. The structure looks like this:
struct FileInfoBlock
{
sizeof( FileInfoBlock );
fib_DiskKey;
fib_DirEntryType;
fib_FileName[ 0 ];
fib_Protection;
fib_ EntryType;
fib_Size;
fib_NumBlocks;
fib_Date;
fib_Comment[ 0 ];
fib_Reserved[ 0 ];
};
Greetings, Manon.
