In the release notes, it states, "Modified date of downloaded files can now reflect when it was downloaded, controlled by the OWDownloadsKeepOriginalDate preference, which defaults to false."
I would VERY much like to do this. Where can I set this? I tried OW Prefs-nothing there. I opened OmniWeb 5 Bookmarks.http with Text Edit and couldn't find it. I opened com.omnigroup.OmniWeb5.plist to no avail.
How can I set this? Thanks.

The reason you can't find it is probably because it hasn't been modified at all to create it. You probably need to enter in Terminal (the application):

defaults write com.omnigroup.OmniWeb5 OWDownloadsKeepOriginalDate -bool True

You need to quit OW before you do that. Then relaunch when done.

I haven't gotten into Terminal yet, although despite that I'm fairly tech-literate. Just type it in at the prompt, exactly as in the post, including a space?
Of course I'll do a complete backup first. Thanks for the advice.

Personally, I would copy and paste - that way you won't introduce any typos (unless I've made them myself ;) ...btw, I have just copy/pasted the "OWDownloadsKeepOriginalDate" from your original post so I would double check that this is completely correct first).

So: 1. Check that entry is correct. 2. Copy/paste to a terminal window and press enter to perform the action. 3. Relaunch OmniWeb and test whether or not it is working.

OWDownloadsKeepOriginalDate is correct as is the string above. Pasting it into a terminal window should do the trick.

Also, the file you're editing by doing this is here:

~/Library/Preferences/com.omnigroup.OmniWeb5.plist
