files vs UR attributes synchronization

I would like to use UR for the management/categorization of large amount of files, but I wouldn't like to do categorization/tagging several times.

I draw analogy with photo management in acdsee. You can categorize inside acdsee your files by adding keywords, assigning categories, etc. But this info is not locked inside acdsee database because you can copy any info to/from exif/iptc which stays with the photo. Its called "Batch set information".

I'd like to do the same with files linked/stored in UR (possibly also for exported rtf files).

Select the linked/stored files in UR and choose which item attributes to copy from to which of the file system attributes (category, keywords, title, ...). For example, I could copy all parent titles to categories file attribute, or all user defined keywords to file keywords. The same other way around, but probably limited to user defined keywords for the beginning.

In this way I'd know that all my hard work is not wasted and info would be available outside of UR database for the files that are linked to UR (for example for indexing software etc).

PS: I'm aware of attributes export csv files ...
