If I want to view a photo album, for example, or a page with a lot of photo links on it, all the photos would load in the background while I view the first few. Then I can just flip through them quickly without waiting for each one to load, is that the general idea? For some reason unbeknownst to me, Safari downloads them all to the hard drive, and then shows them with Preview. Then I have to go and delete them all. A real pain, especially since the default for downloads is the desktop. Makes a real mess, and there's no preference setting to prevent this. I don't understand why it doesn't use the QuickTime plug-in for viewing photos, etc., in a new window. Just download them to the cache like a normal browser, and empty the cache. > > They're cute feature's but my money is on Safari.
