Kent,

I've got a DynaPro folder for KEGS on my MacOS install.

The main reason I use it infrequently (whether to put files into KEGS or get files out of KEGS) is due to the loss of ProDOS file type attributes (file type / aux type).

I think at one time we may have discussed your adding attribute preservation, and that it would require KEGS implementing xattrs or named streams (or MacOS metadata), and that you didn't see that demand for that particular feature justifying the time required to implement it, which I can certainly understand.
