<div dir="ltr">Thanks for getting back, Ondrej. Adding a generic EAF_TYPE_STRING, and merging after the redesign both sound good.

Hi<br>
<br>
We are currently redesigning attribute types in order to have direct<br>
matching between attribute and filter types. And considering that string<br>
type is not currently implemented in attributes and it is a special case<br>
that have a different representation in both (direct ptr vs adata), we will<br>
postpone this patch after the redesign and then merge relevant parts of<br>
your patch.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, the patch is ok and the feature is worth merginh, i would just<br>
change it to add generic string type EAF_TYPE_STRING instead of<br>
EAF_TYPE_CC_ALGO.<br>
