MoTW (Mark of The Web) support in FreeCommander

#1 Post by Free4all » 08.08.2026, 07:51

Does FreeCommander have any functionality to help manage MoTW (Mark of The Web) metadata (e.g. a column to show this metadata, or functions to toggle a file's or group of files' MoTW on/off)?

If not, would it be possible to add the above functionality?

That would indeed be a fine feature!

MoTW is just an Alternate Data Stream in NTFS. Read more here.

I have always considered them a security risk as no standard tool makes them visible.

It would be great if they could be shown and manipuated. Maybe in a first step at least in the Attributes dialog?
