Howdy,

Is there any way to automatically empty safari's cache? I'm developing a new website for a client, and I keep have to refresh or empty the cache. It's annoying.

Many thanks!

In terminal: defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

That will add the debugging menu to Safari.

Then Debug -> Show Caches Window

Empty the WebCore cache, then check the box not to use the cache.

That should work.

Okay, new related issue. That works, but every time I restart Safari, I have to go into the Debug menu and remember to turn off the cache each time.

Is there a way to turn off and KEEP the Cache off?

Also, is there a program that automatically cleans the Safari cache?

Thanks again,

Nitz
