What do you mean it even does multiple pages? Am I missing something?

When an article is paginated (spread across multiple pages) like so:

Reader shows all the pages. Then you can just scroll through all the pages like you could scroll through a one-page article in Safari Reader.

Did I miss something or didn't it ask you to import bookmarks?

edit: never mind, thats when installing Firefox.

Yeah I was looking for something like that comes with the FF install.

Chrome, FF and Safari all have options to automatically import bookmarks from other installed browsers

now if you are going from one OS to another then export/import is good enough

Just going from Windows to Windows. I just found it and it is just looking for a Bookmarks file, so will export from FF manually then import. I just know when I have done that in the past, it puts them into a folder then I have to manually add them to the Bar, so was wondering if there was an easier way. Thanks for the response.

Ahh okay, I misunderstood, I thought he meant it could view multiple articles in one reader window. Thanks for claryfying.

I'm annoyed by the fact that I have to install quicktimes with the browser. I don't like quicktimes.

On Windows 7, and I just grabbed the exe that did not contain Quicktime??

Happens to me, too. Very odd bug.

Also, I just now realized that Safari 5 brought back the progress bar in the address bar, as opposed to the spinning loading wheel that Safari 4 had. Is there a way to change the bar back to the wheel?

I wish there was a way to back to the Safari 4 page loader indicator. I hate the blue progress bar in the address bar as it doesn't adhere to the Graphite preference of your Mac, so it's always blue. blink.gif

I found that the safari starts very slow (I'm talking about a cold start) and the interface responds way too slow for my taste (i'm guessing it's because of the 'top sites' itself is very slow. Any chance of making it look more like how opera's speed dial looks by default?).

Software Update on both Mac and Windows should let you install Safari without QuickTime.

You need to have quicktime installed to be able to play any 'html 5 video'. If you don't have quicktime installed, it will show you a message with the text 'this video contains H.264 video. Windows users can download quicktime to enable support for this industry-standard format'. (You can try it on: http://www.apple.com...showcase/video/ )

The problem with quicktime 7 in windows its that feels a 1990's application, they need to update and polish the interface. QuickTime have the worst GUI I ever in Windows 7.

Screenshot on Windows 7

How did you get Safari to work with the Windows 7 taskbar? When I tell 7 to pin an icon to the taskbar, and launch Safari, it just makes another icon next to the last icon on the taskbar:

NM, figured it out. Instead of right clicking the icon in the start menu then selecting pin to taskbar, I ran Safari, right clicked that icon that was on the taskbar, and selected to pin it from there. Now there's only one icon.

I just found an odd safari bug (maybe it's just me)

But,

1. while I am here on neowin.net and I open a new tab and go to say 'google.com'

2. Close the 'google' tab

3. Return to 'newoin' and Click 'reply' from neowin.net

safari is automatically reopening the closed tab....

Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: I can duplicate this every time, and I'm on Safari OSX 10.6.3

I was unable to replicate this result in OSX 10.6.3; quite weird.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.

      Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52

      By wingliston · Posted

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
