Description

On macOS, Safari sets an extended file system attribute called kMDItemWhereFroms on every download, to preserve the source. This is useful for files with generic names, especially when using automation like Hazel.

Please consider copying this feature.

  1. Download a file
  2. xattr -l

Actual result:

Just com.apple.quarantine

Expected result:

Also com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms

Reproduces how often:

Always
