I know this topic is closed now, but I just wanted to put forward a small suggestion for any possible future revisions of this code.

@dhaumann: I just tested it on KDE Neon. You are right, it is fixed! :)

Hello, and thanks to everyone involved for working on this! If I am not too late to the discussion, I would also like to point out that another instance when we lose xattr attributes (tags, comments, rating) is when we open a file in Kate or KWrite and then we save it.

Just for our sanity's sake, I went ahead and raised the issue in the Lunduke Show some days ago.
Here are Bryan's thoughts on this:

The changes have not yet appeared in my KDE Neon Developer installation. Perhaps I need to follow some manual steps in order to get the changes on my system?

This works really well in my testing. I like it. Let's implement rename-with-long-press in another patch.
