Would it be possible to add a "Preserve extended attributes" tick box? The first set of options (Preserve time, permissions, owner, group) all preserve inode metadata. Extended Attributes, as part of file/inode metadata, would probably fit in with this group.

Here's the wiki with more info.

The options for this from the manual are:

-X, --xattrs preserve extended attributes

Thanks again for this great program!

    Thanks for your report, I will add this to my TODO list.
    Meanwhile, you can set the option using the "Advanced options/Additional options" text box.
