Hello there, little one! 😊

Sure. I have a little home server running Linux and 2 or 3 machines that access files shared by this server. I use Plasma on my desktop machines and I rely a lot on tags (just to clarify, Plasma uses xattrs - more specifically user.xdg.tags) to tag files. On the server I already have a couple of scripts that automatically insert some predefined tags on files.

Thing is when I try to copy and/or move files between server and desktop, depending on the protocol I used to mount the shared, I loose this information.

People suggested rsync, and it would be an excellent option if what I wanted was to keep both sides synchronized or something like that. In fact what I need is just a solution that allow me to mount a server share content and allow me to transfer files from it preserving their extended attributes, preferentially using a file manager (I use basically Dolphin or ranger).

No need to keep then synced.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply.

Yep, when I tried using Samba I had these catia:mappings configuration in my smb.conf. Thing is it slightly changes things (two that I specifically remember are ¿ and ¡ ), sometimes doesn’t recognizes filenames (don’t remember exactly which chars), etc.

I tried to setup Samba, NFS and sshfs. Took a couple of days to understand a little better each one and, by trial and error, have an idea of their perks. I do appreciate your suggestion but I don’t think Samba is what I’m looking for.

I’ll take a closer look into rsync possibilities and see if it applies to my situation. I appreciate your input.

I appreciate your help, but notice that the article just tell some basics of xattrs usage (I already know how to use it), but has no reference of file transfering files, which is what I need.

Thanks for the suggestion. In fact I tried rsync and it works. But is it possible to integrate in my current workflow? Maybe copying/moving files using a file manager?

I’m asking because with the 3 options I mentioned I may, for example, create mount points in fstab and from this there on everything would be transparent to the user. Would it be possible using rsync?

Cantata is an excellent graphical frontend to mpd.

And another Cantata fellow fan posted a fork of the the original project that apparently has been maintained.

Hey, that’s great news!

And to think I’ve been searching so much about Cantata these last few days and didn’t find this github project… although it seems to be the fork of a fork, isn’t it?

I do appreciate your input.

Gosh, she’s so pretty! 🥰

Hey, thanks for taking the time to help. I appreciate it.

I’ve read the text you suggested and I’ll create a couple of vms in order to test if it works for me.

I believe I may have some issue with this phone… As I commented on another thread, it’s been taking a long time to start every time I reboot it or turn it off and on. The animations when I switch apps also have been pretty slow (just to you have in mind, when I unlock it that 3 navigation buttoms in the bottom takes between 1 to 2 secs just to show up. And that same sluggish feeling when doing other tasks also. I’ve tried to swipe the cache partition a couple of weeks ago, but it didn’t seem to work. The interesting part is that it wasn’t that slow. As for the battery, yes, it wasn’t unrestricted but I configured it that way as suggested by another user here.

I thought about doing a factory reset, but I have a couple of apps (banks, etc) that prevent me doing that…

Anyway, I’ve noticed that it isn’t a Boost related issue and I don’t want to bother you guys any further with possible Android issues in a no related community.

I do appreciate everyone’s help.

Thanks for helping.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A32. And now that I’m looking more closely to its behavior I noticed that it’s not only Boost that does that.

Anyway, the funny part is that some apps (Sync for Lemmy being one of these) seems to never loose its state, no matter what I do.

It’s a Samsung Galaxy A32. Would it qualify as older and/or lacking RAM? Now that I’m thinking of it it’s been taking ages to start every time I turn it off or reboot…

Hey, thanks for the taking the time to help. I’ve done that but it apparently didn’t work.

Not my case, I guess… I got a Samsung A32 and never modded it.

You know what? I think you may be right… Boost seems to reload each time I switch apps. But that’s funny, because that behavior doesn’t happen with Sync, for example. In order to test I’m using both (and a couple of other apps too). Each time I come back to Sync it’s exactly in the point I left. When coming back to Boost I reloads and I go to the top of the posts.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I like using this app. That’s why I’m asking if it already has the feature I need or, if not the case, if it could be implemented so that it becomes even better to use.

I second that. I’ve been using it for a couple of years, syncing calendars and address book with both my PC and my Android smartphone (using DavX) and never had any problems.

Kodi / LibreELEC has add-ons available to most of the most popular streaming services. The trouble is that it hasn’t the necessary licenses for playing content in the best resolutions (the same goes with most browsers). I myself have a Homatics R 4k Plus (which is a licensed box) and installed CoreELEC. When using Android I can stream my content in the highest resolutions (Star Plus, HBO Max and Disney Plus) but when using CoreELEC I can’t.
