Open Safari to multiple tabbed pages
Authored by: jpkang on Apr 16, '03 10:33:23AM

This is simpler: if you have a folder of bookmarks (I have one
called "News" that contains eight sites) on your Bookmarks
Bar, you can open them all at once in tabs in the current
window by selecting "Open in Tabs" at the bottom of the list.
No scripting necessary!

Open Safari to multiple tabbed pages
Authored by: robg on Apr 16, '03 01:31:41PM

Right, but the script will open Safari with those tabs already revealed. Saves a Command-click on the shortcut bar, basically ;-). Or lets you open a set of pages that you don't have in your bookmarks bar...

Open Safari to multiple tabbed pages

Actually, if you already have a folder of bookmarks you CAN get
them all loaded on startup by using the following script:

tell application "Safari" to activate

tell application "System Events"

click button "Startup" of window 1 of application process
"Safari"

end tell

where "Startup" is the name of the folder in the BookMark Bar.
The above script requires installation of UI Scripting Beta.

Open Safari to multiple tabbed pages
Authored by: supermacfan007 on Jul 31, '03 03:00:10PM

For some reason, whenever I try to run an applescript, it always seems to come up with a dialogue box saying either

"Expected end of line, etc, but found identifier"

or

"expected expression, property or key form, etc, but found uknown token"

and then when i want to save it says

"the script file 'untitled' wouldn't compile; you won't be able to save it in compiled form, only as text"

Does anyone know why this is happening/ I have never really used applescript before, and am very much a beginner

Not with sub folders
Authored by: andyland on Apr 17, '03 11:40:13AM

But what if you have sub folders in a bookmark bar folder? If
you nav to the sub folder there is no "open in tabs", and
command clicking doesn't work. I can't even open one bookmark
in a new tab if it is in a sub folder.

a workaround: organize your bookmarks however you like, but duplicate the ones you want to auto-open in a folder that only exists for that purpose.

best,
