I don;t know how cookies are dealt with, but if I quote remember, OW supported RSS before Apple offered the Syndication Services.... That might explain why OW doesn't use them,

Quite a few people (myself included) don't want OmniWeb to share cookies with Safari.
Otherwise, you couldn't use one browser to use one yahoo email account and the other to use another (for example). I have considered adding multiple independent "Cookie Jars" but that will probably have to wait for 6.0--but the shared infrastructure is not likely to support that either. As for the syndication services--I'm afraid I have been too busy with the WebKit port to look around too much... which apple syndication services are you talking about? I did notice that Safari uses a PrivateFrameworks/SyndicationUI.framework and there is also a PrivateFrameworks/Syndication.framework, but Apple doesn't like Third-Parties using private frameworks and will occasionally intentionally break API in them if they find people are using them. Is there a public API that I missed?

You could improve your example by improving the selection of alternative autofills (though it's imperfect: you'd still have to log in/out manually). I have this with Citibank and Universal Card: the former ate the latter and now the autocompletion always tries to provide the password and uname of the former when I try to use the latter. Perhaps if there were a way to tell autocomplete "not that uname/pw combo; please try another". Then you could memorise both account authenticators and swap that way. I have the same problem with those little consumer routers that always seem to be installed on networks at 192.168.0.1. Quote:

Maybe an option, not on by default, so that others who don't want to share cookies don't have to. I like the cookie jar idea - a lot. -Craig

One reason why I use different browsers are to separate cookies etc. and for me personally it would be a "bad thing" if OW shared the cookies with safari (and other apps that "pollute" the "cookie library")

That's why having it keep them separate by default is a good idea, but providing an option to people who would like to share them (like me)!

Just yesterday, Safari 3.1 latest version on this PowerPC wiped ALL of its cookies in ~Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
I thought about reporting it to Apple but I remember Rosyna from Unsanity, as an advanced developer already documented the full issue there: http://www.unsanity.org/archives/app...bug_filers.php I think it should have option to Import Safari cookies and nothing else. It is a Intel Apple bug recently made its way into PPC, very sad.
