Dirnotes stores its comments in the xattr property of files 
where it can, and in a database.

XATTR
=====
The xattr comments are attached to the 'user.xdg.comment' 
property.  If you copy/move/tar the file, there are often 
options to move the xattrs with the file. 

The xattr comments don't always work. For example, you may 
not have write permission on a file. Or you may be using 
an exFat/fuse filesystem that doesn't support xattr. You 
cannot add xattr comments to symlinks.

DATABASE
========
The database isvstored at ~/.dirnotes.db using sqlite3.
The comments are indexed by the realpath(filename), which 
may change if you use external drives and use varying 
mountpoints.

These comments will not move with a file unless you use the
move/copy commands inside this program.

The database allows you to add comments to files you don't 
own, or which are read-only.

When the comments in the two systems differ, the comment is
highlighted in green. The 'M' command lets you view either
xattr or database comments. The 'C' command allows you to 
copy comments between xattr and database."""
