uaem_write_flags

Write .uaem metadata files

Default: 1
Example: 0
Since: 2.5.8
Type: flags

Controls when .uaem metadata files are created.

0 - disable (never create .uaem files) 1 - default (always create .uaem files)

n - when file notes are added t - when file time cannot be stored exactly on the host system

h - when the hold bit is set s - when the script bit is set p - when the pure bit is set a - when the archive bit is set

r - when the read bit is NOT set w - when the write bit is NOT set e - when the execute bit is NOT set d - when the delete bit is NOT set

To only create .uaem metadata files when files notes are added:

uaem_write_flags = n

To only create .uaem files when files notes are added or non-default protection bits are set:

uaem_write_flags = nhsparwed

Since file notes are required for the operating of some software, it is recommended to always include the n flag.

Regardless of the use of this option, when specific .uaem files already exists, they will always be updated.

FIXME: can affect net play, will probably want to use as a global setting and not a per-configuration one.
