#### Extended attributes in the fields file

Recoll versions 1.19 and later process user extended file attributes as documents fields by default.

Attributes are processed as fields of the same name, after removing the `user` prefix on Linux.

The `[xattrtofields]` section of the `fields` file allows specifying translations from extended attributes names to Recoll field names. An empty translation disables use of the corresponding attribute data.
