User configurable per-file attributes about fs-curator HOT 2 OPEN

File identities and qualifiers can probably be safely coupled together to expose image/audio content properties as native properties (bitrate, mean frequency/amplitude, resolution, frame rate) since we have a chance to pull those information out anyways as part of doing phash dedupe.

Might make sense to create a different kind of external program invocation. "Probes" that writes back properties which we can attach to the files. Could be a good adapter for meta-data fetchers that doesn't understand xattrs/alt-streams.

Does probes really make sense? Transforms prevents us from generate dry run reports, because we can't guess what the transform does.

The only way I see us forwards with probes is to force people declare what properties the probes will retrieve, i.e. each probe fetches one value out of their STDOUT and we write it to the attribute.
