Adding custom/new properties to any file regardless of type and extension e.g. setting 'Author' on a
- by Vaibhav Garg
I want the ability add properties and tags to a file
(specifically ebook files and ebook related properties in Windows 7 but interested to go so for as many OSes as possible)
For e.g. Example.txt or Example.doc or Example.epub should all store and carry properties like 'Author', 'Publication date', 'Tags' etc..
the properties should be stored with the file itself. Such that if it is transferred to another system it retains the properties (even if i need to install 'my app' to support this function on the other machine)
How do I make this possible using .net (preferred) and what file system concepts should I learn to understand the underlying concepts and limitations to be able to implement this feature?
Any application that already does this? Thank you
