Have you filed an enhancement bug about this idea?

You mean the current behaviour is by design? Good God.

How do you think it should work? "Remember the last [20000] visited pages" rather than "Remember visited pages for the last [9] days"?

Jesse, yeah that's what I said in my post. Though I think 20000 is a bit high. I would have said 1000 as a default (that's about 111 pages per day if you compare to our current default of 9 days, which should be satisfactory for most people, IMO).

When I first read your post, I thought this was a great idea (URL count rather than time limit). However, after thinking about it a little more, that does leave a parallel problem to the one you had when you where away from your machine for more than 9 days.

If you do something that involves visiting a large number of sites, like browser testing or web development work, you might entirely fill up your history in one day with a large number of unimportant entries. I run into this problem with the Windows XP "Recent Documents" menu off the start menu. It's often full entirely of 15 image files or MP3 files from a much larger group I was working with - not very useful.

I still think you're on to something - but it's not obviously better, I don't think.

how about a combination.

instead of just counting the days absolutely, take in account last use date for the browser. Do not take into account the days you did not use the browser for the count.

It's as if the browser said, "oh you'll be away? ok go, I'll wait here.".

The UI could even remain the same. It would just behave smarter.

Don't forget, my friend, that you can change the 9 days to 90 if you want... It's a prefs choice, or did you forget? Of course, remembering 90 days worth of history would make an incredibly HUGE history.dat file, but I've known others who do it.

Not quite as entertaining as Shrek, but Dock animation can be an important and useful function in your application. For example, Dock animation is a helpful way to indicate the status of your application.

Help! Did you include help tags in your applications? (I'd be lost without them.) Also, be sure to take extra time to develop your other help files. The Apple Help Viewer supports HTML, QuickTime, and also AppleScript. Take advantage of it! There isn't anything I hate more than going to the Help menu and finding there isn't any help.

But limit your animations to whatever is required to communicate the necessary information. Avoid annoying animations that discourage ease of use. Ask yourself, "What do I need to show the user, and what is the cleanest way possible to achieve that?" A good example is the Mail application for Mac OS X. Whenever a new message arrives, the Dock icon changes appearance to indicate a changed state.

By building an application that takes advantage of Aqua's many facets, you help ensure that your application will not only look good, but have a chance of becoming a raging success. After a new user clicks on the icon of your program, the first thing he or she sees is the application interface. I know that when I review a product, I am very critical of its visual design. I usually have a short time to learn the new software, so design and ease of use are very important. Aside from those who marvel at the beauty of the command line, most users tend to react the same way.

To help you become a good Aqua citizen, Apple has created a few guidelines. I've put together a brief overview of them, and we'll be tackling many of them in the months to come.

This is the first thing your users see, and probably the single most important visible part of your application. It is the first chance you have at making an impression and the best chance to help establish your brand.

The simple fact is that, when all other factors are equal, where will consumers spend their money? I believe that in the long run, the best looking, easiest-to-use applications will also be the most successful. I think that's why Apple encourages developers to write programs that are 100 percent Aqua-compliant.

Adhere to Window Models. Document windows, Utility windows, Click-through, Layering, Drawers, Controls. How do users open windows, how do you properly title windows?

So far in these articles, I have only dipped a toe or two into Aqua's pool. I have covered basic aspects of building an Aqua-compliant application, including the building of photo-illustrative/3D application icons. Now it's time to address other components of our Mac OS X application.

Adopt Sheets. I really like the use of Sheets in OS X. The use of Sheets lets me know which window my dialogue belongs to without hijacking my system.

I have always looked for a possibility to find information as quick as I can. Now there is the internet. And I really appreciate people like you who take their chance in such an excellent way to give an impression on certain topics. Thanks for having me here.
