This is the problem with mixing Mac and Windows
discussions. As I understand it, Mac stores file data
separately as a "resource fork".
No, you have it back to front. File data went in the data fork,
metadata went in the resource fork.
no it didn't.
metadata was kept in the file system.
Ummmm... ...no.
Some metadata was COPIED to the desktop database, et al.
in other words, yes.
