10.4: Safari Downloads window now tracks files better

Tiger only hintI do not know when this changed; maybe in 10.4.3...

I have a couple of folder action scripts that move my Safari downloads into 'type' and then 'dated' folders. But after the scripts moved the files, the Show in Finder button next to the item in Safari's Downloads window would not work. So a while back, I wrote a shell script to basically find my last downloaded file.

Now it seems that the Show in Finder button can now track where the files have moved to even after the folder action script move them. So if you're using a similar setup, and have upgraded to 10.4.3, you might be able to get rid of the last script...
