In Safari 1.2, you can controol-click on a downloading file in the Downloads window and be presented with three options: "Show in Finder," "Stop," and (one that I'm sure will come in handy for all of us) "Copy Address." I always missed this feature in Safari when I moved over from Camino because I used it all the time.

Now if it would only put the URL into the file's comment field like Netscape & MSIE did in OS 7, 8 & 9!
Work with the Safari 1.2 downloads window
yes! I was just going to add the same comment. I really miss seeing where i originally got a file, say an image or video clip, months afterwards.
Work with the Safari 1.2 downloads window
good lord I miss that one too.
Agreed! Please bring back this feature!
I think everyone agrees this is a missed feature. From the OS9 days when macs were just useful... OS X has come a LONG way, but OS9 still has features of usability that are still missing.
Agreed! Please bring back this feature!
Don't say everyone... I hated OS9, in fact I would say that OS9 was the worst OS I had ever used. OSX is the only thing that kept me on a Mac...
URL in Finder comment
OmniWeb 4.5 and 5.0b1 add the download URL to the Finder comment field. Unfortunately it wasn't 100% reliable in 4.5. Downloading in 5.0b1 generally has some bugs so it's too early to tell if it'll be any different.

i just noticed this morning that Safari 1.2 now lets you drag images out of the window to the desktop without "downloading" them. Prior versions acutally REdownloaded the image, popping up the download manager window and putting the image in as an entry, something that was a bit annoying and relaly just bad behavior. Now it just pulls it from the cache and puts it on the desktop, no downloading and no entry in the manager.

Alright. This probably isn't the best place to ask this, but I'm going to anyway. Something I still can't figure out how to do in Safari, and sometimes switch to IE (yikes!) to accomplish, is downloading the URL in the address bar. Is there an easy fast way to tell Safari "just download this, will you?" It's probably staring me in the face...

Click in the address bar, hold option, hit return.

Better place to put this question is under forums...

... is downloading the URL in the address bar
wouldn't it be easier just to pop over to the terminal and use wget?

Actually, now in Safari v125, it works to select what's in the adress field and just drag and drop it on the downloads window. I've been waiting for that one :-)
more goodness
Dragging images to Mail.app messages now attaches the original image instead of always converting to TIFF

I heard some complaints elsewhere that the Downloads window, while downloading a file, now displays the estimated time to completion instead of the current download speed in Kb/s. A simple option-click on the time (or the speed) will toggle between the two types of information.
Work with the Safari 1.2 downloads window
Too bad it resets between downloads. Better if would stick until toggled again.

Try Dave Hyatt's Surfin' Safari

Yep, I saw Dave's list of 1.2 changes. A bit incomplete but still helpful.
Resume after crash
Unfortunately Safari doesn't let you resume downloads when Safari crashed during a download. You can double click the .download files and they'll appear in the download window but without the resume button.
trash function
The feature I keep wanting in the downloads window is a trash option.

Interestingly enough, right-clicking doesn't open up the menu, if you have two-button mouse. It has to be a ctrl-click.
Does for me...
I've got the trusty Logitech blue something something scroll mouse, works fine over here with a right click...
Does for me...
