It's getting there...
Authored by: friedmaj on Apr 14, '03 09:23:54AM

It's close to replacing Mozilla for me. I believe the only thing
it's missing is the ability to save a group of tabs and to set the
whole group as the Home page.

Actually you can open multiple items in tabs on a single click.
every book mark folder supports this. for example put a book
marks folder on your bookmarks bar, pull it down and look at
the bottom for "open in tabs". voila, it will open the whole
bookmark set

I think he is referring to the ability to take a window with a
bunch of tabs visible and say "Book mark this as a tab set or
folder" where safari will create a folder with all the current tabs
as bookmarks. -- very handy if you want to save a "State" of
your browser.

The way you specify is that you would have to create the folder
and then go to each tab and book mark it and organize it into
the folder. (cumbersome)

Actually, even better... Command-click the tab folder in the
bookmarks bar... opens them all in the same window as a
tab set. Sweet.

how can you set the set as your homepage? so that all of the
sites load on launch?

Thanks

Throw an option in there and save yourself the scroll-down.

and all the entries open in their own tabs

denseness
Authored by: sgi_oh_too on Apr 14, '03 12:40:43PM

I am fairly certain that he was referring to ADDING a group of tabs to his bookmarks ... not LAUNCHING a group of pages in tabs. Launching in tabs is dead simple and has been available since the first leaked beta with tabs. I do not know of any way to accomplish what the user is asking with safari.

Multi-Tabbed Homepage. Sorta.
Authored by: skatz13 on Apr 14, '03 06:50:01PM

I wrote this script to allow the opening of multiple pages in
tabs as the startup homepage. It may not be pretty but it
works.


tell application "Safari"
activate
open location "http://www.XXXXXXX.com"
my new_tab()
set the URL of document 1 to "http://www.XXXXXX.com"
end tell
on new_tab()
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
«event prcsclic» «class menI» "New Tab" of
«class menE» "File" of «class mbar» 1
end tell
end tell
end new_tab


Replace the X's with whatever sites you want and keep
repeating the code

I am sure that there is a much better way to do it but I
have no clue what I am doing and it only took me 5 minutes to
write. Mine opens up 10 pages and works great.

The "new_tab" code was "borrowed" from Apples "Combine
Windows" script. Sorry if it offends anybody and please don't
sue me.

Muti-tab home page version 2.0
Authored by: skatz13 on Apr 14, '03 07:06:24PM

Sorry, the script posted before was assuming Safari was already
open. When ran with Safari closed it would open up two
windows. One with the homepage url from the preferences the
other with all the site programmed.

Here is the updated one


tell application "Safari"
activate
set the URL of document 1 to "http://
www.XXXXXXX.com"
my new_tab()
set the URL of document 1 to "http://www.XXXXXX.com"
end tell
on new_tab()
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
«event prcsclic» «class menI» "New Tab" of
«class menE» "File" of «class mbar» 1
end tell
end tell
end new_tab



Also this requires that you have installed the UI Scripting Beta
which can be downloaded from
http://www.apple.com/applescript/GUI/

Plus you need to be sure that the "Enable access for
assistive devices" option is checked in the Universal Access
System Pref Pane.


Sorry again.
