hi,

i use OW for about 2 weeks now and i miss one special feature from safari, the browser i used before. is it possible to activate the feature to drag a picture from a website to the desktop? i only found it in the kontextual menue, thats a bit uncomfortble, i would like to take it and drop it to the desktop or to the iphoto icon in the dock.

anyway, omniweb is a great browser, but would be even better with this feature :)

(please excuse me for this faulty english, i am from germany)

Shift-drag it (that is, press the shift key then drag the image).

Great, it works, thank you. But when i try so save your avatar (for example) to desktop, i only get a .php file. anyway, it works with pictures without a link behind it, thats very fine.

Hold shift before you start dragging, then you will get the image.

This doesn't work for the avitars - only the file gets copied

Hmm, if you force Preview to open the .php file for the avatar, it will open it and Get Info shows it to be a .gif

Graphic Converter will open it to.

Seems to be some issue with the way OmniWeb is copying the file to the clipboard (or the way the Finder is identifying it when dropped).

FWIW, you can also ctrl/right-click the image and select one of the [Image>Download Image options as a workaround. This will initially download a .php file but it quickly gets re-identified as a .gif file.
