Is OW supposed to save the URL in the Spotlight Comments field in a Get Info Dialog in Path Finder or the dumb Finder?

Only very occasionally will i see the URL in the spotlight comments of a get info dialog, 90% of the time it wont tho.

Is this broken or something?

Anything downloaded via the download window should display the url it came from.

hey tb, I'm using Path Finder not Apple's Finder, I'm not seeing the URL's displayed. Is this a feature to work specifically for Finder? Any way to get this working with Path Finder? Are you using a script to add this?

Thanks

I don't think that should make a difference. The spotlight comments should be the same regardless of the file viewer. Perhaps you could point us at what you're trying to do specifically?

Does this mean that URL addresses will appear in the comments box of a image file dragged off the OW screen to the desktop as in OS-9?

it must go through the download window. try dragging the image to the download window instead of the desktop :)

I know this sounds simpleton but where's the download window, and is it possible in the future to effect the same thing with a command key (maintain URL address in image file comments)?

Thanks and keep up the great work! (why not put up pixs of your offices and staff in your blog - or better yet, an office cam??)
