Title: Safari\'s Cache - Can I Set It?
Post by: pendragon on April 23, 2003, 04:01:00 PM

Does Safari have a 'preference' for setting/allocating cache size? I have hunted about, but still, no luck. if it is doable, where oh where is it?

 On the plus side, the spell checker works great!

Harv,
 
    There is no option for setting the cache size in Safari.
You can deactive the cache in Safari by using Safari Enhancer.

Thanks Bill, That's much as I suspected, but at least on one other occasion, I have overlooked the obvious…so checking seemed the prudent thing.

I am just now getting acquainted with Safari; and Enhancer is on the agenda, but I hope to get cozy with Safari before working the add-ons.

BTW, are there any disadvantages to using Enhancer?

I have been using Safari Enhancer for several months and have never had any problems.

I have also used  SafarIcon to change Safari's appearance with no ill effects.

Give Enhancer a try, the debug menu is worth it.

...but as with all things OS X...you can enable the debug menu without Enhancer using the terminal.    

code:

---

defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

---

To remove the menu, substitute the 1 for a 0
