WinRAR delete metadata (?)

[ChristianGaede]

Translated with google Translate:

After unpacking a .rar file, the metadata is missing from all previously packed files.

Thanks a lot!

I have never tried this, but it seems highly likely. The meta data is preserved only within a world of NTFS drives. The compressed format is effectively a different file storage, and I think it likely that any of RAR, ZIP , et cetera will discard the data when the file is compressed.

To transfer the file and the meta data, the best mechanism is to export the meta data to XML before compressing the file together with the exported XML file, and then reapplying the meta data from the XML when the file is decompressed.
