LinkThing 2.1.5

In this build, I’ve figured out a way to detect whether a link’s named target is an actually existing frame, and if it’s not, to ignore the target if it conflicts with your settings.

For example, say a link has a target value of my_target. Perhaps the link is on a page that is part of a frameset, in which case my_target is probably the name of another frame in the frameset, where the link is intended to open. In such a case, it would be inappropriate for LinkThing to alter the link’s target, forcing it to open in a new tab or in the same frame. For this reason, in the past, LinkThing refrained from interfering with links that had named targets.

But what if the link was not part of a frameset? In that case, there’s probably no particular reason the link’s target was set to my_target, other than to make it open in a new window/tab. Now, say you had set LinkThing to always open that site’s links in the current tab. LinkThing would fail to honor your wish, since it would refuse to interfere with the link. But in this case, that failure to honor your wish would not be for a good reason.

Now, LinkThing is smart enough to know whether a link’s named target refers to an actually existing frame or not. If it does not, LinkThing will ignore the target when it would conflict with your stated preferences for that site.

Pickpocket 2.0.5

Versions 2.0.2 through this one fix a number of small bugs. The latest was a bug that caused the selected link in the popover to open twice when you pressed Command-Enter to open all unread links.

Moofmarks 1.6.16

Various bug fixes.

Pickpocket 2.0.1

Added a way to open all unread links at once from the popover: press Command-Enter.

Pickpocket 2.0

This release adds a big new feature: a Moofmarks-style popover that lists your Pocket links, with a search bar. When the search bar is empty, it lists only your unread links.

If you’re already using Pickpocket, you won’t see the new popover unless you change the extension’s operation mode in Safari’s extension manager. (Look for the setting labeled “When I click the toolbar button”.)

Download Pickpocket 2.0 or let Safari update your copy

LinkThing 2.1.4

This release adds a URL filter (a.k.a. blacklist) feature. Now you can define URLs, URL fragments, or regular expressions to specify sites and/or pages where LinkThing will be disabled.

Note: Each item in the filter list is actually treated as a regular expression. If you don’t know what that means, don’t worry about it—just enter incomplete URLs like “www.example.com”, and they’ll match what you want most of the time.

LinkThing 2.1.3

This release adds the same fixes as for gDirectLinks 1.0.1, described in the previous post.

gDirectLinks 1.0.1

This release hopefully fixes an issue where, if you clicked a Google image search thumbnail before it had a chance to expand to the large version, the click would not be handled by the extension.

Also, the extension now handles inline image results on ordinary search result pages, as well.

New extension: NavUpKey

This simple extension lets you navigate up a web site’s hierarchy, step by step, by typing ⌘⌥↑ (that’s Command-Option-Up). For example, if you’re viewing www.apple.com/support/lion, typing the shortcut will take you up to www.apple.com/support.

Safari actually has a built-in way to navigate up a site’s hierarchy. It’s accessed by ⌘-clicking the page title in the window’s title bar. This extension just provides a handy keyboard shortcut, like the Finder’s ⌘↑. (I could have used ⌘↑ here too, but that would have interfered with Safari’s built-in shortcut for scrolling to the top of the page. I felt that ⌘⌥↑ was the next best option.)

Download NavUpKey or read more (a very little more) about it.

PopSearch 1.9.7

Fixes a bug where the extension sometimes failed to hide the search suggestions menu when you opened the popover.
