I think a more clear name for this would be "filesystem data structures" since the key idea is editing structured data through the filesystem. I can imagine a FUSE driver that can map many types of data to this structure.
Yes... "metadata" is becoming an overused term. Not all data is metadata.
My first thought when I read the title was about those
.nfofiles used by Kodi/Jellyfin and other media centers to keep information relative to the media files.An alternative would be something like FADS (files as data structures) or something like that.
Yes. That is indeed a more interesting name. But think of the acronym.
Lol your second point is irrefutable, I must concede to the choice of FAMF 😹
