Every day I open up the same bunch of bookmarked links in Safari. Since I plug in at an internet cafe, I find it cheapest to load everything up, then fold up my iBook and read the pages elsewhere. Sometimes I save the pages to read later.

Instead of saving each page, then closing it, saving the next one, et cetera... is there a way--a utility, an applescript, an Automator action--that will do this for me. That is, save each of my open tabs. A plus would be if it added a number or something to pages having the same name (instead of writing over an old saved page that shares the same name).

Any ideas?

Hmm, sounds like I'm the only one wanting something like this...

What about Saft? Or did I misunderstand what you're looking for?

It's shareware, but well worth the fee.

Couldn't you just put all these bookmarks in one folder, and put that folder in your bookmarks bar.

Then you can choose "Open in Tabs" at the bottom of that menubar folder's list. I have several that I use just that way. Very handy.

Why do you need to save the pages ? Once they are loaded, just read them in Safari ?

OTOH, it sounds like you could really benefit from a newsreader app like NetNewsWire or NewsMac.

Hit Apple S and save the page.
