It probably uses Leopard's functions (as Cover Flow in Finder) to do History Flow. So, I think you're out of luck. What you can do, however is to create a Smart Folder (as described in the original post on creating a visual web history and crank up the icon size). I'm sorry, I was not clear about that in the post. Please note, that all post are based on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). While some tutorials might work as well in Tiger, most of them require Leopard to be installed on your Mac. @mgabrys: Hi, unfortunately, History Flow is a feature that requires Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5).

It installed - I have a "Stand" menu - but no history flow. It's not in the history menu nor is it in the customize toolbox. Tried the permissions terminal fix they mentioned as well - but I think that's for if none of (SafariStand) works. Mine works - except for the feature that was the reason I downloaded it. It's the right download according to the site for the most recent version of Safari (3.1) and Tiger (10.4.11). Doesn’t work. It installed - I have a “Stand” menu - but no history flow.

Does Stand make it possible to capture ALL windows into tabs? (I only ever want one Safari window open at one time). In Stand's general preferences, I have checked "open target link in new tab". However, if I click on a link in an email, it will always open up in a new Safari window. Is there a way to prevent this? Loving Safari Stand (I’m a recent convert from FireFox).

However, on my new iMac, it appears to only work for keys F1 thru F6. F7 thru F10 still act differently. For example, if I press F8, I get my screen split in 4 windows. I use programs that need the F8-F10 to do something else. I tried going to the keyboard Shortcuts tab and change them, but F8, while in system Preferences brings up a small menu about Time Machine. So, is there a way to use the F8-F10 (or even F12 if possible) according to the application's intended use? Thank you. This was very helpful, thank you.
