Strikeouts simply for privacy, I don't have extra spaces or characters in those 1 username staff - 33792 Nov 25 11:47 /Users/ username/Documents/ABC/Private/ 1 username staff hidden 33792 Nov 25 11:47 /Users/ username/Documents/ABC/Private/ username_list. Reading ( getxattr (2)) retrieves the whole value of an attribute and stores it in a buffer. (I just copied and pasted the entire line instead of screenshots. Extended attributes are accessed as atomic objects. Here's are the results from a file that flags and unflags without properly reflecting the change in Finder. There wasn't really anything else in the ls -lO line besides the filepath. Other than that, these files aren't reflecting any different behaviors in terminal than those I tested that ARE properly disappearing and reappearing in Finder.
However, they remain invisible in Finder unless I have the view settings changed to see hidden files.
#Batchmod clear xattrs software#
Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. So, I flagged/unflagged the files in terminal and checked the attribute list, and the flag is appropriately appearing and disappearing from the files. BatChmod allows you to change any specific privilege or ownership without affecting the others (ie, changing the group without affecting the owner, or adding or removing a specific privilege without affecting all the others). This is the functionality outlined via IETF's RFC 8276 for handling of file-system extended attributes in NFSv4. The NFS server updates for Linux 5.9 have support for user-extended attributes on NFS.
#Batchmod clear xattrs code#
If it matters, the file types I am trying to unhide vary - jpg, doc, docx, xlsx, etc. The NFS code in Linux 5.9 has finally presented support for user extended attributes (user xattrs). The only thing I found in my Googling that involved Mojave and this problem was this sparse thread on the Apple forums that unfortunately does not contain a solution.ĭoes anyone know if there are certain file properties or other issues that would prohibit specific files and/or folders from responding to this command?
#Batchmod clear xattrs password#
Some documents were password-protected, and I even removed the password in order to make sure that there wasn't some sort of permissions issue with that. I've run the command directly from Terminal (with and without sudo), relaunched Finder, rebooted, tried duplicating files and messing with the copy, etc.
(Yes, I realize I could just dump the files in a new folder, but that still leaves me with other files that aren't behaving properly.) One of the folders contains files that "unhid" beautifully, but now I can't fix the folder. No matter what I do, despite everything running exactly the same as it did for the rest of my files, these things simply will not unhide. To do this, I automated the "chflags nohidden" command in accordance with Internet instructions, and it has worked very well.except for about a dozen files and three folders. Ultimately, my goal is to unhide a few different batches of files and folders and instead save them to an encrypted. Recently updated to Mojave (10.14.1) and am trying to do some file/folder cleanup.
