Activity window

Adding myself to the list of disgruntled debuggers that use the activity window religiously. I don't need to know all the other crap in the dev interface, I just want to know if $#17 is loading. God... what is your problem Apple?

There is still a simple way to get the downloading capability you got with the Activity Window. You just gotta take a few extra steps. Honestly I think Apple removed this as they are in the money grab over fighting piracy and illegal downloading of content. Crap move by Apple but there always seems to be a work around Thank GOD! I figured it out but I **** near dont want to post it on here in fear it will get removed on the next update.

Do you have a way of sharing this with those of us who would like to know?

Is there a way to send direct messages? I literally JUST noticed they removed the activity window as I was looking to download some **** (no point in lying) and it took me all of 3 mins to poke around (pun intended) to find a way to still download embedded video and what not. Its been explained on here already but I guess its not as clear as it was for me. Let me know if there is a way to direct message I guess.

I was able to revert to 5.1.7 from Safari 6. See #6 for caveat... not sure if this was just an issue with my machine.

1. Go to /System/Library/StagedFrameworks
2. Delete the "Safari" folder
3. Google "Safari5.1.7LionManual.pkg" and download pkg
4. Go to Applications folder. Give read & write permissions to Safari.app, then delete.
5. Open "Safari5.1.7LionManual.pkg" and run installer
6. After the installation was finished, it didn't actually place Safari in the Applications folder, but I had a backup copy in my Time Machine archive. I restored version 5.1.7 to Applications from my backup.
7. Launch Safari, and it should be like nothing changed.

I hope I can solve this dilemma. It's not really gone, just changed around a bit.

First of course, you need to show the Develop menu(Safari-Prefrences-Advanced-Show Developer Menu).

Now, go to Develop-Show Page Resources.

You will most likely need to get used to the new change, but this new way is actually more helpful, as it shows what is what, ie. images, video etc. Essentially this is exactly what the Window-Activity panel displayed, cleaned up and updated.

No plugins needed.

Cheers.

So, its simple to find ACTIVITY button in new Safari!

1. Just open Safari PREFERENCES > ADVENCED > and select SHOW DEVELOP MENU IN MENU BAR

2. In menu bar choose DEVELOP > SHOW PAFE RESOURCES [ ⎇⌘A ]

3. here you can find all you want

Calm down guys it hasnt gone completly!

1. You need to enable the Develop menu (Safari Preferences > Advanced > Show Develope Menu)

2. A menu named 'Develop' will appear next to 'Bookmarks'

3. Click it and then click 'Show Page Resources'

And there you go! And can i just point out - Safari 6 in Mountain Lion is a massive improvment and any one who thinks that Mountain Lion is a downgrade from Lion hasn't properly checked their facts.

Cheers guys!

if you're not even going to read the post above your own, or rest of thread for that matter, please don't chime in with useless information. "Page resources" is only useful for just that, finding/accessing page resources, NOT activity. that window tells you nothing of server activity. Just because some of the people are using activity window to find page resources doesn't mean that's ALL it's used for. there are web developers and power users who actually used the activity window for ACTIVITY and that's not what page resources is for, not even remotely.

I'm not a dev, so don't get mad if I'm wrong, but doesn't the little clock tab show stuff as it's being loaded? Here's a screenshot of this very page when I refreshed it:

And this page tab to grab files:

I second this, please bring it back or provide instructios to downdgrade the OS, also as many in thie discussion, activity window was the only reason i used safari over the other browsers. Anybody knows if there is a different browser with that functionality now? thanks!

For those of you who presumably used Activity in pre-Safari 6 as I did, try the following:

1) From Safari 6, turn on the Developer tab by clicking the checkbox in Preferences | Advanced

2) Keyboard: Option-Command-A or Option-Command-I (either seems to bring up the same window)

3) If you're on a page with an embedded video, click the "Other" item in the left-hand Nav

4) Say your looking for an FLV file, you should find it in the list there

5) Dbl-Clicking it has the same behavior as it did from the the old Activity window

And I empathize with EVERYONE here and mourn the loss of a wonderful feature that is now buried deep within the Developer innards...

C'mon, Apple! Wake Up! Don't blow your shot at browser greatness!!

For those of you as confused as I was, here is what I had to do to download an FLV...

1, enable 'show developer menu' in safari > preferences > advanced

2. in the developer menu click 'show page resources'

3. after the page resource box comes up, REFRESH THE PAGE. For some reason the 'other' folder in the left nav doesn't show up until you refresh.

4. Inside the 'other' folder you'll find all the files being loaded.

5. Scroll down to the 'flv' file (it will probably have a spinner to the right of it, as it's likely the largest file being loaded.)

6. double click the file name to add it to your download queue.

WHEW.

I have yet to upgrade to ML but I've been trying other ways to download. The best I've tried to far is the RealPlayer Downloader. Very similar and easy to use. I still prefer that activity window makes a comeback in Safari. I really don't like to have applications that I didn't need before. Same goes for RSS.

Nope, it doesn't work like that. That does not show page sources being downloaded. there is NOTHING that replicates the acitivty windows actual page load status

network activity, none shown, not for plugin content.

resource activity, shows resource, a flv file, it does not show file size, download rate, or heck anything at all about it's status. it simply gives me a file name and path. i don't want file properties i want file activity. thus the whole point of the activity window.
