More connections, less applications.
Hey smart people, I need your help. I am looking for answers to two relatively minor OS X issues. First of all, does anyone know of a way to increase the number of concurrent connections in Safari? More often than not I am finding that the default number of four is a bit limiting. The maximum number of connections is something you can set via a simple pop-up menu in Internet Explorer, but no other browser seems to want to touched in such a manner. I’ve poked around the various Safari plist files, but haven’t discovered anything yet. Secondly, is there any way to limit the number of application choices that appear in the Open With… contextual submenu? This issue is the painful when I am command-clicking on several text (or JPEG and GIF) files at once. There are so many applications available for opening files (including numerous Classic programs) in the submenu, that it often takes ten seconds or more to display it. The more files I select, the longer it takes for the submenu to pop open. I would dearly love to be able to set a maximum number of applications to appear in this menu, as well as preset my default application. Any ideas?
