10.4: See where Safari downloads originated
Authored by: oculos on May 28, '05 11:29:53AM

I remember this was a feature of MacOS 9, or even previous releases, that disappeared with OS X. On the comments field of a get-info, there was the link where the file came from. That's how i remember it, and I'm glad it came back now.

10.4: See where Safari downloads originated

OS 9 used to add the origin to the comments when you dragged and dropped an image to the desktop - OS X still does not do that. I wish it did. Still, good to know the functionality is at least partially back.

It wasn't the OS that was doing it, it was Internet Explorer, which saved the originating URL in the Finder comment field. In fact, I believe the OS X version of Internet Explorer still does this.
