And you are running 9.0.0b4 (listed as “Saft 9.0.0b4 for MacOS 10.4.10 and Safari 3.0.2 Public Beta (522.12)” at http://haoli.dnsalias.com/Saft/Download/ (I don’t see a link for version 9.0.0b4 from the main Saft page – only on this direct download page)? The old version (Saft v8.3.12) won’t stop Safari from loading but won’t work with this change.

I’ve tried this on a MacBook Pro, G4 Powerbook and G5 iMac and they’ve all worked.

Hmmm…. that didn’t work. Safari loads, but no windows and it won’t launch any windows. bugger.

This is assuming you are running Saft 9.0.0b4:

1. Navigate to /Library/InputManagers/Saft/Saft.bundle/Contents.
2. Open the Info.plist file with the Property List Editor.
3. Add a new child element to SaftSupportedSafariBuild containing 522.12.1 as the value (Safari 3.0.3).
4. Quit and relaunch Safari and your Saft saved windows will be restored.
