Thanks a lot for this. This is very useful.

Given that Safari can occasionally be pretty crashprone, it would be nice to see a future version of this that automatically saves the pages everytime that you visit a new page (not just when you quit), so that a crash won’t screw up your day.

I definitely agree with Chris P. above — an implementation that better protects against crashes would be much appreciated.

PLEASE
update the pages as often as the history is updated. For some reason Safari is crashing more and more often and each time “Forget me not” brings up the pages I had open the previous time I quit Safari. I rarely quit Safari so the pages it brings up are old and I have to close them one at a time and then try to remember what I had open. This means I have to close old windows and then do what I used to do without the software. I leave browser windows open for days so that makes it hard to recall what was displayed. the unclose window option is great. any way it can re-open with the history the window closed had? example, if I unclose a window, I can’t click “back” because it’s a new window with only the most recent page loaded again in it.

[…] I personally use only a couple of extras for Safari, as everything I really want in a browser is built in. I use ForgetMeNot which is a session saver type extension so when I close a window, force quit or the like I can re-open to the previously viewed pages. I also use Inquisitor, although I’m not so convinced of it’s use, it’s been there for a while now and I kind of forget it’s not the default. I also use a plist haxie which decreases page load delay. If anyone is interested I can post the terminal command, but I haven’t seen a lot of that around this forum yet so I don’t want to upset the status quo. I am also looking for a way to re-organise my tabs in Safari, but don’t want to install a big application with loads of features, just allows dragging of tabs. I know this is built into Safari in Leopard and so I will probably just wait for that. __________________ Matt Hoult MacBook 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB Crucial RAM […]

I used to be a very happy camper, but recently my forgetmenot-foo has failed. I am able to undo window-closes, but when quitting and relaunching, the former windows or tabs do not open again.
The console log reports this:
2007-02-20 00:59:13.337 Safari[730] ForgetMeNot installed.
2007-02-20 00:59:13.368 Safari[730] Could not connect the action uncloseTab: to target of class JFSafariPlugin
Pretty annoying! But very good work, I truly enjoy the software!

First off: I really love this plugin. Second: is there any easy way to add a check box in preferences that supresses extra windows on startup. Or better still, merges all open windows into seperate tabs of the same window when safari launches. Currently, if safari is opened by some other application, forgetmenot remembers the last page I had open and opens it as well in a seperate window.

At first I love this, but now when it reloads, it reloads the windows from 5-10 sessions ago, not my most recent session, so I’dl ike to open it up with no windows open, but I can’t, so Safari doesn’t not response upon opening for around 5-10 minutes, trying to open all these windows that I don’t want and closed awhile ago. I hope it gets fixed, I really appreciate you making this extension.

I agree with the comment above about Safari Version 3. I, too, have been really spoiled by your program. I hope you decide to update it.

Also, there is another small bug that I would like to point out. If Safari is closed and I double click on a URL (say, in an email) that launches Safari, then the URL does not get opened. Rather, Safari opens and ForgetMeNot reloads the previous URLs (which is great) but not the desired URL. I would prefer to load the ForgetMeNot URLs AND the desired URL.

You can get around the untested message by editing the info.plist in the ForgetMeNot bundle (not trivial, but TextWrangler makes it pretty easy) so that the MaxBundleVersion is 522 or higher- BUT- the tab close buttons and the Close Tab menu item don’t work…

Guess we have to ask Jim to fix ForgetMeNot. I’m looking at the source, but I’m not near enough of a Objective-C programmer to know where to begin. It may be as simple as grabbing new versions of the WebKit and/or Safari header files and recompiling…

I think it’s ridiculous that you no longer offer ForgetMeNot version 3 for download. Do you really think everyone is running the Safari 3 beta? You would be wrong, as I’m sure the vast majority of Mac users will continue using 2.x until they go to Leopard OS.

ForgetMeNot does not seem to respect the Private Browsing setting. My expectation was that with private browsing enabled forgetmenot would not remember my open windows when I closed, or at the least restore the session from before private browsing was enabled, but instead it opened up all the windows I had open when I closed the browser after having enabled private browsing.

Aside from this, I really appreciate this plugin - thank you immensely for it and the work you’ve done on it.

Which version? (keep getting error message)

I just installed the 10.4.11 update which automatically installed Safari 3(.0.4), which I take it to mean that it (Safari) is no longer considered beta…

But I’m still getting the startup error (“not tested; as a precaution was not loaded”). (I’m using version 3 of FMN because I’m on Tiger, but with the release of non-beta Safari 3 the dichotomy at this site no longer makes sense for people like myself [I’m using Tiger but non-beta Safari 3]).

Should I use version 4 instead? I was getting the same error message with Safari 2, so any hints would be appreciated, from the developer or other users.

Comment from Fuzzy Gerdes
Time: November 14, 2007, 6:02 pm

There is a way you can get ForgetMeNot 4.0 working with Safari 3.0.4. HOWEVER this technique just by-passes SIMBL’s sanity check — there might be big giant bugs waiting to destroy your browser. You’re probably much better off waiting for Mr. Fowler to update the software.

But if you simply must use ForgetMeNot and are not willing to wait, go to /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins, right-click on ForgetMeNot.bundle and choose “Show Package Contents”. Open Contents and then open Info.plist with the text or plist editor of your choice. You want to change the values for MaxBundleVersion and MinBundleVersion from 522 to 523. Save the file (you’ll likely have to authenticate with admin rights to overwrite the existing file).

Again, let me emphasize that all this does is tell SIMBL that ForgetMeNot is compatible with Safari 3.0.4. It doesn’t make it so, if there are bugs. There might be bugs. They might wipe your harddrive. Don’t come crying to me if that happens.

I’ve been running this way for… oh, ten minutes now with Safari 3.0.4 on Mac OS X 10.4.11. No problems yet!

I’ve been using FMN for some time now and have found it very useful. Safari 3 (on Tiger at least) seems to have a feature very, very similar to FMN built in.

You can even choose whether to reload the windows or not.

Thanks for all your time and effort in the development of FMN, but it looks like ‘So long and thanks for all the fish!’

If you go into “info.plist” (found in forgetmenot.bundle/contents/) and under “SIMBLTargetApplications” change 522 to 544, you can get it to still run under tiger.

Not sure about what happens on leopard tho. (733mhz quicksilver - no easy leopard for me!)

Anne, thats probably because Tiger 10.4.11 upgrades users to Safari 3 - the version used in Leopard. (Here is the page on Apple’s site about it: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306297)

Don’t expect to see an update for the latest version of Tiger until the new ForgetMeNot for Leopard is released, because that will be the one which supports Safari 3 (assuming the maker has time to do it!)

Here’s how I made ForgetMeNot work with 10.5.1:

• Get latest (0.8.2 instead of the bundled 0.8) SIMBL from http://culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php

• Close Safari and install SIMBL.

• Open the directory that includes the installation of ForgetMeNot, i.e. /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/ or ˜/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/ in Finder. Right-click the ForgetMeNot-File and select “Show Package Contents” or whatever the English translation of my German “Packetinhalt zeigen” is.

• Go to “Contents” and open Info.plist in Text Edit. Delete the lines

MaxBundleVersion
600
MinBundleVersion
522

and save the file, providing an administrator’s password. Start Safari, ForgetMeNot should be there.

Important: Removing the lines above from info.plist disables SIMBLs version check completely. Better remove the hacked version of ForgetMeNot before installation of any future Safari upgrade.

Comment from Alex
Time: November 29, 2007, 10:07 am

Great work! I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for a long time!

I have a couple suggestions:

1. It would be great to have a menu item that does ‘restore session’ instead of automatically doing it when I launch the app. Perhaps the user could change this feature from preferences: automatic or manually restore session. Or perhaps a menu item that does a ‘save session’ but that’s probably too complicated.

2. Save sessions from before a crash? This would be really helpful. Safari is such a resource hog, it crashes and looses my session every so often.

Thanks!!

To make ForgetMeNot v4.1 work with Safari 3.04 do the following. Keep in mind though that I did not test this thoroughly so maybe it might brake something at your mac.

• Open up Info.plist in the ForgetMeNot.bundle file located in /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/plugins with your favorite text editor

• Change the following key:
  MaxBundleVersion
  523

• To this:
  MaxBundleVersion
  5523

Now if you fire up Safari you should not get the ‘not loaded’ warning anymore, and ForgetMeNot should work again!

Comment from HW
Time: December 26, 2007, 8:39 am

great idea, i’ve been using Saft, but it ads a ton of features I don’t want clogging up my safari, I just want it to remember what I had open. It would be even better if you could have an optional window come up when you launch safari, asking if you want to restore windows or start fresh, and what windows you want to restore- this is very handy if you want to keep some windows, but have built up a pile of useless old windows that you didn’t realize you still had- also handy if you have a situation where safari loads the windows, and then quits itself. that happened to me recently, believe it or not.

but… it doesn’t work. Does it not work on Leopard? I have safari 3.0.4
I ran the SIMBL installer, it said it was successful, but it didn’t put itself in the application support folder, or anywhere else for that matter. What gives?

What do I do?

Shmuel - is there any chance if we can get an update from you on a version that might work with the current Safari 3 releases on both 10.5.1 and 10.4.11?

Hi, have you planned an update of forgetmenot, which is working with Safari 3.0.4 and Leo 10.5.1? With the present version it causes an error message of safari (“Safari 3.0.4 (v5523.10.6) has not been tested with the plugin ForgetMeNot 4.1 (v9). As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer (not the SIMBL author) for further information.” ) and doesn’t appear in Safari 3.04 preferences. I have restarted the machine, but that don´t modify anything. The SIMBL Version is 0.8.2 on a MacBookPro 2,4.

thank you,

Hi. Everytime I have rebooted my computer, this SIML Error page pops up and I’m wondering how to fix this?

Safari 3.0.4 (v523.12.2) has not been tested with the plugin ForgetMeNot 3.0 (v6). As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer for further information.

Does this come up for other people? I’m currently runnning the latest version of Mac OSX Tiger on a Macbook. This is really starting to get kind of annoying. Please help. lol.

Reposting: A couple of times since November, ForgetMeNot 4.1 with Safari 3.04 in Tiger 10.4.11, just spontaneously shuts itself off. I’d start up Safari and none of my saved tabs open back up. I check the preferences and it’s deactivated! I activate it and it’s fine for the next week or so. Very strange.

I’ve also sent a friendly email to the developer several days ago but have not received a reply.

Please let us know the status of this bug. Thank-you.

I have the same problem as Ian:
ForgetMeNot ver 4.1 does not work in Safari 3.04 with Leopard 10.5.1 and SMBL 0.8.2.

Safari complains that the plugin hasn’t been tested with this version of the browser and disables it.

I’m running 10.4.11 and Safari 3.04, and this plug in works, but ONLY if I shut down Safari. If Safari crashes, and I restart it, it loads up everything from when I last shut down Safari, which could be a week ago!

Is that how it’s supposed to work, or does it provide crash protection like Firefox?

Comment from John
Time: January 29, 2008, 9:30 am

I think I found the reason…. Now I hope the developer finds a solution. It seems that if I shut down the Mac WITHOUT quitting Safari, ForgetMeNot will be automatically de-activated the next time I open Safari. It shouldn’t matter if I quit Safari or the system quits Safari, ForgetMeNot should STAY activated!

Is there a way to totally delete this? I only used it for reopening windows/tabs after a crash, and now that Safari 3 does this on its own I’d rather use the built-in functionality. (I thought I’d uninstalled it, but when I go into the preferences and click “Advanced” this is still an icon for FMN, I did a Spotlight search but nothing came up.)

Comment from Kris Tilford

I just installed Safari 3.1 and it broke ForgetMeNot 4.1 so that I got the SIMBL error message again. I fixed this quickly by going to:

/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/ForgetMeNot.bundle

I Ctl-clicked to “Show Package Contents” and then I opened the “info.plist” with Text Edit and

I changed the following key :
MaxBundleVersion
523

To this:
MaxBundleVersion
5525

and then Saved this change, and relaunched Safari.
This key # is whatever the current version # of the new Safari is shown in the “About Safari” window, so in this case Safari 3.1 is Version 3.1 (5525.13) which I took this “5525” from. You can change ForgetMeNot for whatever version of Safari you’re using. It worked perfect for me.

Time: March 23, 2008, 1:03 pm

I changed the info.plist with Property List Editor (part of the Developer tools under the X.4.11 I’m running.) It listed both a minimum and a maximum bundle property. Because I’m using the PPC version of Safari 3.1 its build# was 4525.13 so I set the former to 4525 and the latter to 4526 and relaunched Safari. It works, at least so far. I’d try 5525 and 5526 for the universal version, build# 5525.13.

ForgetmeNot restores all open tabs and windows automatically. It’s the automatic part that is still lacking, even in Safari 3. The “Reopen all windows from last session” is a great feature, but if you’re in the habit of carrying forward a lot of windows and tabs (I generally have between 15 and 45 open at any time), and you forget to invoke “Reopen…” just once, you’ve lost them all.

Very true, Randy. However, when using the latest version of Forget MeNot, I’d consistently lose all my open tabs without warning a couple times per week on two computers.

At least now, I have nothing to blame but myself.

that’s not really the same thing, not unless you can have it do that automatically every time to start safari. There might be some way to do that though…. Kind of a hack, but may work

Quote Paul B: “that’s not really the same thing, not unless you can have it do that automatically every time to start safari.”

And I didn’t really say it was the same thing… somebody else did. I just answered the question by pointing to where the mentioned feature is found.

Additionally in my reply to Randy, I explained that ForgetMeNot has become very unreliable on all of my computers since Safari 3.04 came out. Although “automatic” is nice, FMN was consistently failing to automatically do anything at least once or twice per week.

As long as I remember to use the new feature in the Safari History menu, it never fails. I agree, it’s not the same thing as FMN but at least it works… and it’s better than re-opening everything manually.

Comment from Randy

I’ve also experienced the occasional and intermittent failure of FMN to automatically reopen all tabs and windows. However, when that happens, it is immediately obvious, since Safari comes right up with only one window and tab. So it’s pretty easy to work-around, by using “History -> Reopen all tabs”. I also then go to “Safari -> Preferences -> ForgetMeNot” and make sure the “reopen automatically” box is checked. (Usually when there is a failure, the box had somehow gotten unchecked.)

In my experience, FMN only worked IF you shut down the Safari your self. If Safari crashed, it only reopened the windows and tabs from the last time you shut it down manually. And if Safari crashed during a manual shutdown, then it sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t.

Dear Mr. ForgetMeNot-Author “1 Cat”,

what is this? You get about 100 Comments that your Software isn’t working properly and don’t react to that at all??? What’s wrong with you?

People have it installed and you don’t even tell them to uninstall and get rid of that annoying error-message?

This app would be so useful, but in my opinion that is absolutely the wrong attitude. People would love your app, if you only took some care of it and would deliver updates and comment on questions. If you aren’t capable of that, well then maybe just take the app of the market and quit, because else you’ll be wasting time of many people, yours and theirs!

Comment from Brian

I hope this comment is helpful and not considered out of place.

There is a plugin for Safari (there are versions for all current Safari versions up to 3.1, and OS X up to 10.5.2 currently) that I have used for years that handles most of the functions that the above commenters seem to have requested most often.

It is called Saft, and I have no connection with the creator, but have been a satisfied user for years. And the developer seems to be very prompt with updates to match new Safari and OS X versions, usually a matter of hours, or at most a few days.

It saves the tabs and windows you have open when you quit, or even when Safari crashes or “unexpectedly quits”. It also saves the ‘state’ of the tabs and windows, including the size, shape, position, and individual history of each tab, and will restore them after you restart the browser.

There is an option to automatically restore without asking, or you can set it to ask. It also gives you the option to look at a list of windows and tabs you had open, and choose which ones you want to restore or not, before you reload them all.

It also does many other useful functions, some of them so valuable in my opinion that I do not want to use Safari without it.

There is a free demo of this plugin available (there are versions for Panther, Tiger and Leopard.) The full paid version costs $12, and the Panther to Tiger, and Tiger to Leopard major OS version updates only cost $6 at the time when they were needed. In my opinion, for the way I work, it is well worth the investment.

Here is the download site: http://haoli.dnsalias.com/

More info about the plugin, including an extensive and comprehensive list of the features, is available here: http://haoli.dnsalias.com/Saft/index.html

To install, you just copy the files from the .dmg to your /Applications folder, and then, start the .app, and choose to install it as an input manager. It is also capable of being a launcher, but I have no experience using it that way.

You can do a quick google search to find it reviewed on many sites.

I hope this is of some help, because I don’t know if this developer has updated ForgetMeNot so it will work with Leopard and Safari 3.x versions. I hope I am not unwelcome in mentioning this alternative.
