I knew this had been discussed at some point; I just didn't query the

It wouldn't have to be associated with the individual files; tying it to
the containing directory should be just as useful and likely to be much
more efficient. As for transferring it every time, I'm certainly open
to better ways ("set if not already set" sounds fine). I'm now
officially outside of the part of the code I vaguely understand, so I'm
open to suggestions. I was just following the crumbs on the UUID
addition.

 From what I can glean, the translate.c case can only access data
elements already part of the offline WC, which basically means the
entries file. However the data gets there is fine by me. ;)

Ah yes, I hadn't considered that case.
