Yes, I'm working on a proper AppleDouble format next. It requires a combination of the two file handling procedures I've added so far, which either: a) send a file under a newly composed filename, or b) synthesize a "faux file" from filesystem metadata, and send that under a composed filename, but not both.
The next step is to put the two together and send a single extra file to the destination. Someone has offered to work on coding the reverse process, so hopefully it will all come together shortly. I'll also update the patch to 2.6.3pre1. Interestingly, all of the AppleDouble implementations I've been reading ignore the Finder Comments field. Some of them (e.g. Mozilla) set up an entry for the data, but they never actually put it in. I guess users don't care about the Comments field.
