danbalsh Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 Yeah it does sound like a big update, does anyone remember a rumor that 10.3.5 will contain added features and not just bug fixes, kinda like a stepping stone between 10.3 and 10.4 ?

Sounds good, but I never read anything about it. You sure you were awake at the time? I can't imagine it personally, not major features at least...

cerbero Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 - Option to open links from applications "in a new tab in the current window" Doesn't it already do that? Anyway, the enhanced download manager sounds nice. Hope it'll allow us to actually choose the download location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbalsh Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 I too was wondering about the new Tab features, does it mean we'll be able to open ALL new links into a tab instead of new windows? like when you click on someones WWW button in there sig :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brn2prgrm Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 dude! the new download manager is awesome. Not only does it allow you to choose a download location, it also lets you pause/resume downloads like said. It creates a .download file which is associated with Safari and can be used to resume a download after you've closed safari/cleared the downloads list. Also, the .download icon reflects the actually progress of the download (shown below) which is quite awesome. Note the progress bar on the icon is updated in near real-time(updates every 5%-10% or so) to show the progress, even after you close safari. This probably sounds geeky but I think it's pretty cool! Thanks Apple!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Some opinions after using 1.2 They finally have the option to change the smallest viewable font. This is probably my favorite addition. Clicking links in people's sigs still opens a new window. There is no option to get it to open in a tab aside from ctrl-click. So I don't understand the addition, since clicking links in other apps always loaded into another tab in previous builds. Download resume works nice. It doesn't ask you where to dl the file to though. Haven't noticed anything different with 10.3.3 yet Noticed 10.3.3 reset the clock to Cupertino and PST. Did some checking....yeah it allows you to specify download location in the preferences, but not on the download manager, which I was expecting.

am_fek Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Safari is excellent but is it such a big deal to add the ability to save an image by right clicking, without having to open it in a new window? This has been in IE for years and is my biggest gripe with Safari. Still wouldn't use anything else though, so I suppose Apple needn't bother :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timan Veteran Posted January 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 30, 2004 :( Was stupid and installed it, now my search doesnt work. I really didn't notice one thing different in OSX, but safari is pretty cool with the downloads. Now I gotta format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
