--- Comment #7 from JKFRT <greob@yahoo.com.sg> ---
I was about to file a new bug report before noticing this one. 

Dolphin doesn't preserve xattr when copying, even from ext4 to ext4.
I lost thousands of precious metadata because of this silent data loss. I
consider it serious.

cp DOES preserve extended file attributes with the -a flag. 

Thunar seems to preserve xattr when copying / moving files around already. 

Would this be difficult to implement in Dolphin? Is KIO the subsystem
responsible for this? I'm asking in order to look around the source code.

Thanks for your time.
