+ "hashes of the files. In normal usage, this is sufficient for updating the library. "

"""
Some options (currently '--finder-tag-template', '--finder-tag-keywords', '-xattr-template') write
additional metadata to extended attributes in the file. These options will only work
if the destination filesystem supports extended attributes (most do).
For example, --finder-tag-keyword writes all keywords (including any specified by '--keyword-template'
or other options) to Finder tags that are searchable in Spotlight using the syntax: 'tag:tagname'.
For example, if you have images with keyword "Travel" then using '--finder-tag-keywords' you could quickly
find those images in the Finder by typing 'tag:Travel' in the Spotlight search bar.
Finder tags are written to the 'com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags' extended attribute.
Unlike EXIF metadata, extended attributes do not modify the actual file. Most cloud storage services
do not synch extended attributes. Dropbox does sync them and any changes to a file's extended attributes
will cause Dropbox to re-sync the files.
The following attributes may be used with '--xattr-template':
