10.4: See where Safari downloads originated
Authored by: fud on May 28, '05 01:36:14PM

Does anyone know how to copy the text in the "where from" field? It would be much more usefull if this information didn't have to be manually retyped when needed. I still used DownloadComment, which puts the download url in the comments field, http://www.ecamm.com/mac/free/.

You can always use mdls on the file to retrieve all the metadata.

I just did a CMD + I on a .hqx file I downloaded. Under Spotlight Comments the download path was selectable and I copied it into TextEdit without any problem. If you select TextEdit->Format->Text->Link…, you can paste the selection into the dialog box and TextEdit will make it a clickable link.

Not for me. I had a "Where From" entry in Get Info, but nothing in Spotlight Comments. Shame, without copy/paste services, long "Where From" entries are laborious to re-type! ;)
