ELEGRAPHY  Huh? Of course you won't see URL saved in your Get Info Spotlight Comments if you didn't use DonwloadComment.

If you'd bothered to read the reviews I was responding to, you would have read things like this:

shockerspaz:

"I dont get it. Am I the only one that already has this functionality in Safari 3?

sjk responds:

Even Safari 2 already adds that "Where from" (kMDItemWhereFroms) Spotlight metadata without using DownloadComment, but I don't know if Safari 3 adds the download URL to Spotlight comments without DownloadComment (Safari 2 doesn't).

shockerspaz responds:

it sure does!

sjk responds:

If Safari 3 saves download URLs both as "Where from" (kMDItemWhereFroms) metadata *and* as Spotlight comments then can anyone think of a reason to still use DownloadComment?

xxxciter says:

"This is already done automatically in Mac OS X 10.4 (maybe earlier) and Safari 2 !!!"

So elegraphy, tell me how all that can be interpreted in any other way, than several people saying that what DownloadComment does, is automatically done in OS 10.4? Hence my question.

Of course, xxxciter clouds the issue by including a link to a utility that does essentially what DownloadComment does, instead of proving that OS 10.4 does it all by itself.

REAL_MACINFO  One thing that regular Safari 3 on 10.4.x doesn't do:

If you drag&drop a file (e.g. an image) to your finder it doesn't add the download path to the file comment.

With DownloadComment Installed it does!

Hope that helps. ;-)

JOHN SAWYER CJS  real_macinfo: We already know that Safari doesn't automatically add a web page's URL to a saved copy of that web page, and that DownloadComment's purpose is to add that capability.

LEONCAHUN  Yes, pleaaaaaaase!  
(Version 1.2)

MRHOOKS  I would love to see this for Camino as well.

SJK  If Safari 3 saves download URLs both as "Where from" (kMDItemWhereFroms) metadata *and* as Spotlight comments then can anyone think of a reason to still use DownloadComment? Since it's an Input Manager it'll probably not work with Leopard anyway.

KASPESLA  Also, DownloadComment writes the URL in cases where Safari doesn't, like dragging images to the desktop.  
(Version 1.2)

SJK  > … dragging images to the desktop

Thanks for reminding me DC is responsible for that. It's the only reason I need to keep using DC until generic Safari does the same thing (if ever).  
(Version 1.2)

SJK  Copying/moving items across volumes, rebuilding the Spotlight index, and other actions will remove that "Where from" (kMDItemWhereFroms) metadata. Information in the Spotlight (Finder) comment field that DownloadComment uses is stored in .DS_Store files. Both methods are fragile, but kMDItemWhereFroms more than .DS_Store (IMO).

(Version 1.2)

SJK  Have you suggested that to the CamiTools developer?  
(Version 1.1.1)

BILL B  Yes, lets have this for Camino!!  
(Version 1.2)

ANONYMOUS  But FF is supposed to be cross-platform, and the file comments in this case are Mac-specific. I know there are features (no, I'm NOT affiliated with the Mozilla team in any way) people want to see in FF/Mozilla on their specific platform, but without getting into Camino, that probably means they'd have to have separate teams working on versions for each platform.

Okay, enough rambling. :P  
(Version 1.1)

STRONGMANTIM  This could be done with a plugin for Firefox. There are lots of Windows-only plugins, so surely OS X should have some of its own, too.  
(Version 1.1.1)

MACCENTRIC  YES, let us have a mac-only extension.

Pertty please?  
(Version 1.1.1)

ANONYMOUS  What icon are you referring to?

I just downloaded and installed this (to OS X 10.4.2), and it seems to work well, putting the web source into the Get Info Comments field -- actually 'Spotlight Comments' in Tiger's Get Into.

I don't see what icon they have changed...  
(Version 1.1)

SJK  I also haven't noticed any icons changing after installing DownloadComment. So far it's been 100% effective at doing what it's intended to do.  
(Version 1.1)

ANONYMOUS  Then why did you give it one and a half stars?
