Forget Me Not. Undo.
My Forget Me Not plug-in for Safari was reviewed on MacWorld!
It’s great to read the comments and find out what users wish were different: a lot of people don’t just want to Unclose Window but also Unclose Tab.
For me, I really would have liked to have Unclose Window be underneath the Edit menu, but because the undo hierarchy is linked to the window (i.e., when you switch windows, the possible things you can undo changes) it isn’t possible to undo the very destruction of the window itself.
The whole idea of “undoing” something is very amusing, especially the modern sense; the old sense of “undoing” something by destroying it is quite dissimilar from the idea of restoring to a previous state.

I have very much enjoyed Forget Me Not.
However, I now need to report a serious problem. As of today, I am running the new version of Tiger and the version of Safari 3 that came with it. I also found and installed the new version of Forget Me Not said to work with Safari 3. However, I am now quite literally unable to close any Safari window unless I close them all! Clicking the red button in the upper left corner, selecting “close window” from the File menu, or using the command-W keyboard equivalent all fail to close any Safari window.
Because Forget Me Not remembers and relaunches all previous windows when I quit and restart Safari, though frequently placing them in different locations from before, I now have an unusable mess, with a screen full of windows I cannot close.
Ironically, for what it’s worth, the only feature of Forget Me Not that didn’t work properly for me with Safari 2 was “unclose window.” No matter how many times I tried, I was never able to get back a window I had closed. But, now that I can’t get windows to close at all, I realize that is a greater problem!
I’m hopeful this is only temporary and that updated software — either Forget Me Not or Safari — will soon solve the problem…
