First, thanks for remaining open to being convinced. Whether I'm able to do that may depend on the percentage of KEGS users running under MacOS vs. the percentage of KEGS users running under Windows, and of course the amount of time you feel it would take to implement.
Under MacOS, both Kelvin Sherlock's Shrink-Fit X (opens and extracts NuFX (ShrinkIt) files) and his ProFUSE 2.0 ProDOS file system FUSE (mounts a ProDOS disk image as a server volume) maintain the ProDOS attributes using the Finder-info method, which you mentioned in your reply.
Also, Mark Lim's CiderXPress (a Mac port of many ProDOS image file features from CiderPress based on Andy's code) and NuShrinkItX (similar to Kelvin's Shrink-Fit X) also maintain the ProDOS attributes using the Finder-info method.
It would be nice to be able to seamlessly move ProDOS files into and out of KEGS using your DynaPro folder.
As it is now, you've got to fool with changing the ProDOS attributes after-the-fact, either within KEGS on the emulated IIgs (on transfers IN) or within a MacOS application (or by using a custom AppleScript) (on transfers OUT).
{As a side note: I think Kelvin once mentioned being able to do something similar on Windows using named streams, but AFAIK, CiderPress(2) doesn't support that, so there's probably no point}.
It's just something to think about. Besides I'm still so grateful for the direct IP printing feature you added to KEGS. It makes me think I'm actually using a real IIgs. Plus, I've set one of the serial ports set up to connect with a socat server daemon so I have access to the MacOS terminal Unix command line from within the IIgs (primarily using ProTERM 3.1). Neat stuff.
