WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.0beta9:

This build is mainly about Custom Search Engines (our number one requested feature). We also fixed Google's thumbnails. Between Google changing their html more often than we could wish, and the semester starting, we had a very interesting few weeks.

Personal Message: Leo! Glims supports WebKit, so please talk about us in TWIT.

Please continue to report problems (this helps a lot).

  • Added Custom Search Engines
  • Added Keyword/Shortcut Support
  • Minor improvements to Suggestion Window
  • Improved Google Thumbnails (back to normal, sorry for the glitches of the previous release)
  • Improved Webkit Support
  • Improved Autcomplete Always On
  • Rewrite of the Tab Restore Feature (we now use fully the Safari session restore functionality)
REQUIREMENTS
Safari 3.0.4 (4525.18) or later

POIKKEUS  This novel Safari add-on allows you to see small images of the websites you're going to visit in the margin of the frame, and also alters the behavior of Safari in certain ways. It's the kind of application that takes getting used to, but after a while you can come to depend on its time-saving features - particularly if you're using your machine on and off throughout the day.

JOMAMA7366  This plug in is awesome. With these features, I can't think of any reason to go back to Firefox.

The only other features I might like to see are perhaps a download status bar, and an option to "automatically clear cache on quit."

Great job!

TIROGER  There is a very annoying bug, which has persisted throughout the betas:

When you click on a link that opens a new tab, the status bar automatically reappear, and you have to hide it again. While it's not a critical bug, it's definitely annoying and hope it gets fixed soon.

TIROGER  Well, turns out that the problem is a bug within safari itself and not glims.

Thanks to a very responsive developer for the help.

Great job!

TEILAS  @ENEFEM: You can indeed use this plug-in with Inquisitor. In Glims' preferences just turn off the functions that Inquisitor handles.

SHANE C SMITH  This is by far the best plug-in for Safari I've come across. It basically has all the features of 5 plug-ins rolled into 1. Great job, keep up the great work.

TREVORM-L  another thing... when closing a tab (Cmd-W) the new active tab becomes not the tab next to the one closed but another tab in all of the ones that are open... otherwise great utility
