Download date and source not shown ?

Question

I sometimes need the source of a download, and date too. But I see no such information in Safari download.

Answer 1

The new Download Manager that uses the Library and the places.sqlite database file treats downloads like other history items and adds an annotation (places table: moz_annos) to identify these items as downloads.
moz_anno_attributes defines those entries as:
xx: downloads/metaData
xx: downloads/destinationFileURI
xx: downloads/destinationFileName
You can use the SQLite Manager extension to generate a list.
* SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
# Open Profile Directory -> places.sqlite -> Go
# Hit the "Execute SQL" tab
# Use a SELECT like this:
<pre><nowiki>SELECT content AS Filename, datetime(dateAdded/1000000,'unixepoch','localtime') AS dateAdded, url AS Location, moz_anno_attributes.name AS Type
FROM moz_places, moz_annos, moz_anno_attributes
WHERE (moz_places.id = moz_annos.place_id) AND (moz_annos.anno_attribute_id = moz_anno_attributes.id) AND (moz_anno_attributes.name LIKE 'downloads/destinationFileURI')
ORDER BY dateAdded DESC</nowiki></pre>
You can use (moz_anno_attributes.name LIKE 'downloads/destinationFileName') to see only the file name or use an OR construction to have both.
WHERE (moz_places.id = moz_annos.place_id) AND (moz_annos.anno_attribute_id = moz_anno_attributes.id) AND ((moz_anno_attributes.name LIKE 'downloads/destinationFileURI') OR (moz_anno_attributes.name LIKE 'downloads/destinationFileName'))
