Some NetNewsWire 2.0 hints

One of the great things about NetNewsWire 2.0 is the new tabbed browser, which (at least for me) can open more tabs than Firefox and saves tabs between application sessions (and crashes). NetNewsWire saves the list of open tabs in the file ~/Library/Application\ Support/NetNewsWire/Tabs.plist. I've made use of this because the current version of NetNewWire occasionally loses tabs when you restore the session (like if a site is temporarily down).
Another thing that I miss from the tabbed browser is the ability to use bookmarklets. I particularly miss the one for posting to del.icio.us. Fortunately, there are alternative solutions. Here's an AppleScript to send the current tab in the browser to del.icio.us -- you need to change USER to your del.icio.us user name. You drop this into NetNewsWire's Scripts folder-- a modification of http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040929145251144 -- tab scripting logic courtesy of Rob Jorgensen on the NNW beta list tell application "NetNewsWire" set tab_num to ((index of selected tab) + 1) set url_ to (item tab_num of (get URLs of tabs)) set title_ to (item tab_num of (get titles of tabs)) set u to url_ & "&title=" & title_ end tell tell application "System Events" activate open location "http://del.icio.us/USER?noui=yes&jump=close&url=" & u end tell
