No, he wanted the Safari Downloads window - he just wasn't aware that it was specific to Safari. Ian -- Ian Gregory http://www.zenatode.org.uk/

If you're referring to the Downloads window in Safari, there is an easy way for it to come to the front. In Safari, under the "View" menu, go to "Customize toolbar..." There is an icon there for the downloads window. I dragged it to the extreme right of my Safari window, to the right of the search bar. Then just click it whenever you need it. -- m-m http://www.mhmyers.com

In Safari 3.1.2 I am not seeing this, but then I am on my first morning cup of tea, and hardly warmed up. But 'Option Command L' will do me fine thanks. -- dorayme

In Safari: alt-command-l or option-command-l, whichever you prefer to call it. (my keyboard says "alt") -- Paul Sture

Downloads folder was introduced > in Leopard But there's nothing to stop you setting this up manually in previous versions. I've been running that way as far back as 10.3, if not back to when Safari first appeared. -- Paul Sture |
