New issue 22289 by isometry: kMDItemWhereFroms metadat attribute is missing
from downloaded files
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22289
Chrome Version : 4.0.207.0 (Official Build 25617)
URLs (if applicable) :
OS version : 10.6.1
Behavior in Safari 3.x/4.x (if applicable): OK
Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): FAIL
Behavior in Chrome for Windows: N/A
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download a file, e.g. gears-osx-opt.dmg.
2. Try to determine the file's origin without reference to
chrome://downloads/
3.
What is the expected result?
Once download is complete, the file should be placed in ~/Downloads and
set the com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms attribute to record its
origin.
$ mdls -name kMDItemWhereFroms gears-osx-opt.dmg
kMDItemWhereFroms = (
"http://dl.google.com/gears/current/gears-osx-opt.dmg";,
"http://gears.google.com/download.html?statcb=1";
)
What happens instead?
The file is placed in ~/Downloads but the
com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms attribute is not set. As a result
there is no mechanism (besides chrome://downloads/) to determine the
file's origin.
$ mdls -name kMDItemWhereFroms gears-osx-opt.dmg
kMDItemWhereFroms = (null)
The Finder exposes the contents of the kMDItemWhereFroms attribute in
the Get Info window, and various third-party utilities, such as Hazel, use
the information to facilite automated filing (for example to organise the
Downloads folder by originating domain).
