Description

Summary

Amazon S3 files can have associated metadata (basically, HTTP headers).

Cyberduck lets you view and edit this metadata, which works fine.

However, I would like to have certain metadata applied to every S3 upload, without having to go in and change it after the fact. I expect this is a common requirement for CloudFront users, as the Cache-Control header is very important.

To support this, Cyberduck would need to support setting defaults for S3 uploads. For example, in the Edit > Preferences > S3 dialog, you could add controls for setting default headers. For comparison, see Transmit (on OS X) or CloudBerry Explorer for Amazon S3 (on Windows). Both of these allow the user to set default headers for S3 uploads.

Note that you can select multiple files at once to change the metadata at once for all.

I did see that. One of my use cases is for graphic designers to be able to upload product images to Amazon S3. I don’t want to rely on them setting the metadata.

Even if you know how to set the metadata, it is a nice convenience. I would compare it to the defaults for Preferences > Transfers > Permissions. Even though permissions can be set manually later, it’s convenient to have them set by default.

Resolution set to fixed

Currently only possible using a hidden configuration option as of r7406. Multiple headers must be separated using a whitespace delimiter. Key and value of a header are seperated with =. For example if you want to add a HTTP header for Cache-Control and one named Creator you would set

defaults write ch.sudo.cyberduck s3.metadata.default "Cache-Control=public,max-age=86400 Creator=Cyberduck"

Must think about a user interface for this.

Should add table to edit default metadata in S3 tab of preferences. Note that as of r7605 you can recursively apply metadata to objects in a bucket or folder.
