- a workaround for a Netscape2.0+ bug. Formerly "SaveWinReset".
To use it, you will need to have Applescript installed in your extensions, and the "display dialog" scripting addition.
This new version (since the old name) includes all windows - not just "save" windows, and makes the "choose" button the default button.
If Netscape2.0+ refuses to show you its windows, you can run this little Applescript application that will make a chosen window small (for "save" windows it will make the window the proper dimensions), make it visible, and put it in the upper left of the screen.
I'm not sure why I have had this problem with Netscape2.0b3 (and earlier 2.0 beta versions). It's most likely a bug that will be fixed in a future version of Netscape.
This is how you use NscapeWinFix:
Open Netscape2.0b3, get on the web, and download something large (you can always cancel it, and if it's too small, you won't need or have time to run NscapeWinFix!). If the save window doesn't show up as it should, run NscapeWinFix2.0b3 (a QuicKeys file-launch is awfully nice).
A dialog box will appear with the name of one of the windows. If it is not the window you want, click the "Next" button until you get the window you want. If the dialog box shows the name of the window you want, click the "Choose" button (or hit "return"). The window magically appears, or at least is moved and made visible (it may have ended up behind a navigator window).
If you hit "Next" enough times, the application will tell you that there are no more windows, and quit.
Feel free to do anything with this software. Share it, change it (for the better, please), whatever, just don't take it out on me if it does something awful. It's pretty harmless, actually.
NOTE: I am in no way affiliated with Netscape Communications Corporation, so complaints or praise regarding their software should be directed to them.
NscapeWinFix2.0b3 is selfesteemware. If you use it, take a few minutes to convince yourself that you're lucky to be alive and have a great future.
Please let me know if you've experienced the same bug, and if this is helpful to you.
