Custom property on File instance not cloned when passing to web worker

According to MDN, File objects can be passed to Web Workers and they are properly cloned using the structured cloning algorithm. So far, so good. And this works in all browsers I've tested:

// myFile comes from a form.
// webWorker is the WebWorker object.
webWorker(myFile);  // myFile appears as-is on the other side,
                    // only losing non-enumerable properties
                    // and functions, per the spec.

But this doesn't work:

// myFile comes from a form.
// webWorker is the WebWorker object.
myFile.customIdProperty = 'some string value';
webWorker(myFile);  // myFile appears on the other side,
                    // WITHOUT the 'customIdProperty' property.

Curiously enough, this WORKS:

// myFile is a custom object now.
// webWorker is the WebWorker object.
myFile = {};
myFile.customIdProperty = 'some string value';
webWorker(myFile);  // myFile appears on the other side,
                    // WITH the 'customIdProperty' property.

This occurs in recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, etc. so I don't think it'a browser problem.

Options:

  1. I'm doing something wrong and that is causing that property to be lost when cloning the object.
  2. When cloning a predefined object (like File) and not an object I've created, all custom properties I add get lost because the browser ignores non-standard object properties.
  3. I don't understand the spec and it's obvious custom properties are not cloned when passing objects to Web Workers.

Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks in advance ;))

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
