^^^^ I think most Windows users uninstalled it within 10 mins

You got Windows installed, why not check for yourself?

Just to note, drag & drop works for address bar. Thats it

Thank you so much! I am very glad that it was you who answered my question.

I am thoroughly surprised that even the Windows version has the neat sheet based dialogs.

 

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ My pleasure buddy.
Yeah even I was surprised and in fact I liked the way it comes from the mid of titlebar.

Would you mind trying just one more thing for me?

Go to imageshack.us and click on 'Choose File'. When the dialog box appears (from the titlebar again), try dragging a folder/file from an Explorer window into the dialog box. Does it automatically jump to that location? It is a great feature and if it is there in the Windows version too, it will make the lives of Safari users easier.

Nope, if we do that. It will drag & drop that new file or folder to the one opened right now.

How do I open tabs? Where is the new tab button? I can't add it to toolbar. Looks like jobs got out of secret features to show in WWDC so to get the spotlight he told his developers to port safari to Windows in 24 hrs

Labnol's blog has some fixes for all font issues.

First interesting thing is that, when I opened the site in Safari, I got "Choose File" button while in other browsers the button name is "Browse".
Since the button names are different, their functionality is also different.
In other browsers, we can type the path of file in given text box but in Safari we can't.
And when I clicked on "Choose File" button in Safari, I didnt get that animated dialog box, I got the windows dialog box, thats why the feature u mentioned doesnt work and the dragged file/folder is copied to the opened folder in dialog box instead of going to that folder.

 

[aryayush]

Uh oh... that's what I call getting the worst of both worlds!

Vishal, the button reads differently because that has always been a part of Apple's philosophy. 'Choose File' is easier to understand than 'Browse'. Similarly, there are no 'Yes' and 'No' sort of dialog boxes in Mac OS X. The buttons always read 'Save', 'Don't Save', 'Review Changes', 'Discard Changes', etc. instead of 'Yes', 'No' and 'OK'. You, of all people, must have noticed that Microsoft has changed a lot of dialog boxes in Vista to make them easier to understand, compared to XP.

I got a new update today.

 

[gxsaurav]

Safari 3.0.1 beta is out now

 

[ratedrsuperstar]

gr8 start to the newest episode in browsers war IE and maybe Opera are done!!!!!!

 

[aryayush]

its in BETA ppl ............. hope the full package will KICK IE`s ass .........

It does that already.

 

[gxsaurav]

It does that already.

What, where, how . Oh never mind, you over looked the stupid bugs in Safari 3.01 ...

1) I doubt if they compiled it using GDI . this is how it hanged while loading apple.com & when I resized it.

2) You cannot customise the toolbar at all. You cannot add buttons to open a new tab or new Window from the toolbar. Either use the file menu or keyboard shortcut of ctrl+T or ctrl+N

3) It is compiled using Visual Studio 2005 I think, cos it is using VC++ 8.0 dll files. It loads very fast

4) Pages render & open very slow. Even IE 7 is fast.

5) No Adblock or extension support. Safari Mac plugins do not work in Windows. Oh well, Windows has Ad muncher

6) Memory & resource hog. 90 MB when opening Apple.com in one window only & 123 MB when opening 2 windows.

This is my screenshot.

This is a screenshot I saw at neowin.

7) You cannot cycle throguh tabs using ctrl+tab

8 ) It scrolls one line at a time. gr8

9) The window behavior isn't correct. Minimizing the window then restoring it should return it to the maximized state I had it at before minimizing. Instead, it opens to a non maximized size.
