What I'm trying to say is that people see things differently. Some people did not like the way it used to work.

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but wasn't that the way that Safari has done all along? Wasn't also like IE used to work? Isn't it the way iCab works?

I can't speak for the other browsers but OmniWeb 5.9.2 did not work the way Safari works. Try saving an image, in Safari you will be presented with a new sheet that uses the file name of the image not the title. This is the functionality that we were missing.

So, unless I am mistaken, the way OmniWeb used to work, is the "standard way" these other browsers work. Right?
So, are all these other browsers broken too?

Again, can't speak for other browsers but I think that what safari does is the MOST right. There needs to be a save dialog specific to media and one specific to web pages.

I would like to see something like this make its way into OmniWeb.

One other thing about webarchiving that I liked in IE is that after saving the file, when one opened the saved file, the URL would be the real URL rather than the location on the hard disk. This had the nice advantage of one being able to quickly see (and maybe copy) the actual URL, to include in a document or to send it in an email.
Another advantage was that one could just quickly reload the saved webpage and get all the updates from the web server.
Could there be 2 fields at the top of the webbrowser, one showing the URL and the other the location of the saved file?

Thank you.

You're right, I agree, this was cool. WebArchives is something that is part of WebKit, we don't do anything special to support it. IE had a number of great features that have never been picked up by other browsers including the way they did archives. If we had the time I wouldn't be opposed to doing our own implementation but we have a lot of other things we need to do first.

As I've mentioned in my earlier posts. I am not disagreeing with you. We did not intentionally break the functionality you were expecting we are simply moving to a middle ground which clearly wasn't middle enough for you. I don't think the current functionality is perfect and we will work on it.

Furthermore, I think your usecase here on these forum pages is a perfect bug report. OmniWeb did regress and it's something that should go in our bug tracker.
