Some browsers / operating systems keep this metadata, and (platform-specific versions of) ledgerhub could make use of this information. E.g., Safari and Chrome on Mac OS X save the download's URL as metadata, compare http://code.google.com/p/understand/wiki/MacOSMetadata or http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/110239/where-is-the-where-from-meta-data-stored-when-downloaded-via-chrome -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
