Im Modul Download (einzelne Datei) sind diese nicht verfügbar (ce_download).

You wrote Contao 4.11, but it's the same in Contao 4.9. It would be a simple change to add the already extracted meta information also to the ce_download template. @contao/developers bugfix or feature?

The only problem I see is: in the downloads content element, the meta information is provided for each file in the files array in the template. For the download element there is no such array obviously so the meta key would then overwrite a previously set meta key.

Adding the line

$this->Template->meta = $arrMeta;

to

contao/core-bundle/src/Resources/contao/elements/ContentDownload.php

Line 134 in f0a6afc

$this->Template->title = StringUtil::specialchars($this->titleText);

Shouldn’t be a problem.

Not adding new template variables is not one of our backwards compatibility promises I think.

Well in theory someone could have extended the DCA of tl_content with a field called meta (for whatever reason). This field would then not be available in the ce_download template, because it gets overwritten with the meta data of the selected file. 🤷‍♂️

But that's a problem with a lot of things, isn't it? The core could even add a new dca field that someone used before. 🙃

@leofeyer if it's a bug, it should be for 4.9, no? ;)
