This should give you a list of user agents. Is this what you're asking about ?

no, I actually want to include custom fields in my HTTP request headers, specifically X-Forwarded-For. I know how to do it with firefox and chrome, and it would be nice if I could do it in Safari as well.

What am I doing wrong that's making my files read-only on windows? How do I avoid this without having to do all my dropboxing from windows?

Probably nothing. Even if your Macintosh permissions were read-only, they're not honored by Windows.

My guess would be they're not actually extracting the archive. Most versions of Windows treat a zip archive like a folder by default; you double-click it, a window full of files opens, and you can open files directly from it, completely oblivious to the fact those files don't exist anywhere.

That you're able to replicate it yourself by actually extracting makes that seem less like the obvious option, though.

Bingo.

I'm used to my mac automatically extracting the folder when I double-click the zip file. Windows doesn't extract unless you explicitly tell it to...I'd forgotten that, that's why I thought it was "broken" for me too. Add to that the fact that his PC is set to "hide extensions for known file types" (why in gently caress is that still the default setting? It's literally the first thing I change in a windows build, going back about ten years now), and I didn't notice that the files he was opening weren't actually inside a folder, but were still in the zip.

I haven't heard back from them yet, but I've emailed them and I think you're exactly right.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but has anyone found a defaults plist setting to have a separate Search bar in the Safari 5.2 beta? I am firmly against the "omnibar" because I feel that searching and typing in an explicit URL should be completely separate things. I know I'm a huge sperg for this.

I agree with you.completely, and am also hoping for an answer to this. (Also, for those who have used it [I haven't yet], does it give instant results as you type, and can you at least turn THAT off in the prefs?)

*er, now that mountain lion is announced and I think it even has an estimated release date?

This was a FIRST developer preview of Mountain Lion. I wouldn't expect it to be in a shippable state for another 8 plus months at least. We'll probably get Mountain Lion next year. Plenty of time to make Lion updates between now and then.

Have the added a "No history" option?

Also, does it trim your history while it's still running? ie. Currently Safari only trims your history when you quit/launch (or when you clear history manually, of course). That means that despite the fact that I have Safari's history setting at the minimum of "After one day," I end up with days and sometimes weeks worth of history because I rarely quit Safari (and I'm lazy/forgetful about doing it manually).

I really should just use a different browser.

Or does it just use Apple's own implementation?

The reason I ask is because the one in QuickTimeX only supports a couple of NVidia and Intel GPUs.

It does not appear to do anything after all. Still 70% usage on a Radeon 5870.

No, all Safari needs is a "no history" option like every other bloody browser on the planet.

Do you mean 'like every other browser has' or 'like very other browser also needs'? Because I don't ever remember seeing that option in a browser. (Although I've never really looked for it before.)

Do other browsers do that auto-trim stuff you're referring to? I've never seen it and would only think it comes through an extension.

Opera lets you set history to 0 (or 50,000… or pretty much anything in-between although only 5 or so standard values are available in the drop-downs if you don't want to dive into the really nerdy config modes). At zero, it just doesn't record your addresses; at anything else, it just removes the oldest entry as soon as a new one is added.

I think in the newest Lion update you can now rearrange full-screen spaces by dragging them into position, but in the current dev or ML builds can you also rearrange desktop spaces in the same way?

You can do that in Lion, but the first space has to remain first for some reason.

Hello darkness,

I ran ML on my current model MBA over the weekend and reverted back to Lion as well. It does seem 'snappier', even as an upgrade to Lion. But, it breaks Dropbox and ARD, so I can't use it on my personal machine. Also, I did a TM backup before I installed it, and it didn't do a full backup, just my home folder, which made restoration really fun.

I immediately thought of this when I saw the ML logo.

Just tried it, seems to work fine bar the 'first space is first' thing. Had space > fullscreen Calendar.app > space > fullscreen iTunes and no problems.

Dropbox works fine for me in ML by the way. I'm going to stick it out, have only noticed a few glaring bugs so far. Calendar.app reverting to a different preferences panel when I try to tick a delegate calendar on my GMail CalDAV account, and Safari having seriously spazzy gifs that resize between frames, for example.

Why do my Documents and Dropbox folders insist on reverting to column view?

I've set them to list view, I've gone into view options, deselected 'always column view', set the folder to list view, gone back to view options, set 'always list view'.

Wait 30 minutes and click Documents again, and lo; column view is back!

I've also deleted the .DS_Store files in those folders and done the above again. No difference.

But no; this MBP insists that those 2 folders have to default to column view.

What else can I do to wake the OS up to my actual preferences? I never use column view. And this machine didn't used to do that; I did a nice fresh install, updated the OS and now its always column view. (but only in Documents and Dropbox)
