Hey, I wrote an AppleScript to show the names of up to 23 tabs of the current Safari window in Large Type. http://bit.ly/drFTx1 This is useful if you have a lot of tabs open and can't fathom the truncated names in the tab bar. Save it somewhere cataloged, or create a trigger for it.
It displays up to about 75 characters of each name, using an ellipsis (…) in the middle of the names for contraction if they're overly long. (theonion.com - I'm looking at you!) The displayed list stays with the current tab, so if you're on tab 25, the first 2 tab names will be cut off. It works by adding a long space string at the end of the name list to stop QS resizing the text and kicking the excess off the bottom of the Large Type display. Issues: The script was written for a display 1280x800, it should work fine for bigger displays, play around with the first 4 variables in the script to optimise it. The _maximumNameLength is an estimate, some names will wrap if they have lots of wide characters, also names using Kana and Kanji take up more height and might cause names to fall off the bottom. If you have 2 windows open with the same-named tab frontmost the script might get confused. I use it in conjunction with this script: http://bit.ly/bWR099 It's a tab switcher that disappears after a very short time (so pressing enter isn't necessary). Dismiss the 'Tab names' Large Type before activating this script, or it won't work. @Patrick Robertson - QSApp.com sounds great! I'd be happy to help out in any (limited) way…
