    metadata seems a certainty with the mime type style stuff in project builder but what do you mean by threading?

    Metadata isn't a file system issue per se, is it? Seems like they want to divorce any metadata from a particular filesystem, i.e., frowning on type/creator codes, and use the stuff at a higher level in the system. Then again, maybe this theory about improved metadata gets blown out of the water with their plans to simply glom onto the HFS+ filesystem.

    Metadata isn't specifically a file system issue, but *support* for metadata is. Direct support just makes working with it easier at an application or framework level.



    Look at it this way... direct support gets rid of ._ style files.

    I was under the impression HFS+ already has underlying support for metadata (beyond type/creator codes). I think it was Rick Roe who mentioned this on the MacNN forums.
