Safari 1.2 in software update.

[Ripcord]

Can you download Safari 1.2 for Jaguar?

If not, why the heck not?

[Ripcord]

Nevermind, I just noticed that only 1.0 is available for 10.2 on the Safari download page.

How is it that Apple seems to get away with not supporting a slightly more than *year-old* OS? If Microsoft intentionally stopped releasing products for, say, Windows 2000, there'd be massive public outcry. And that's a 4-year old platform.

I don't like this idea of being forced to upgrade *every year*, especially if they're going to charge me full price...

I hope I'm wrong on this and there's a work around. If not, I am very upset at this seemingly trivial change.

Formerly, when you chose to download an image or movie or other file type, you right-clicked and chose Download this... and it automaticaly started dl-ing it to your preferred location.

Now it's a freaking approval window for every single DL! WTF!

Tell me I am missing something and that I'm overreacting. Well, I guess I'm clearly overreacting, but this is insane to me. What is the freaking point of setting a DL preference location if you're going to make me approve it every *$*&#**&*(& time?

I looked in preferences to see if there's something, but I couldn't find it. Anyone else?

This is a terrible decision. There is no reason on earth to force approval on the DL location if one is already chosen in prefs.

To add to the frustration, in 1.1 if you DL-ed a file that had the same file name as something already DL-ed, it just added a "-1" to the file name and DL-ed. No fuss, no muss. Now, because of the approval window you're forced to rename manually if that file name is taken. I've got clients with large image database of genericly named files, so this is going to be a very annoying issue. Hopefully one of these Safari hack-on apps will fix this poor decision.

I will go back to 1.1 in a heartbeat if this is the case. Though eventually I'll be forced to update for one reason or another. Grrrrr.

Try holding down 'option' and clicking the link. This downloads the file immediately to the place of your choice set in the Preferences.

Thanks! I preferred the old way, but this is acceptable.

Has anyone else noticed that the reload arrow now goes the other way?? Why would apple do that??

[twister]

I'd rather tell the file where to go. But that's just me. However it does always default to my downloads folder so it's kinda the same.

And the reload changed? Hummmmm.

I'm glad Safari now asks where to save to, as one couldn't decide that before. Want to download to your default directory? Just click. I guess it's as straight-forward as can only be.
