Hi,

Has it ever been considered to add a (pop-up) widget to the save file dialog 
that would allow to specify metadata key/value pairs when saving a file, plus 
the corresponding API so apps can set it too?

For instance, when a browser downloads a file on Mac it will add a Spotlight 
attribute (really just a standard Unix xattr underneath) that records the 
source URL and download date; this can be quite useful at times. (The system 
uses this information when you're launching a downloaded executable for 
instance, even if the executable is "hidden" inside a disk-image.)


R.
