Your friendly neighborhood History preference pane.
Discard History when quitting OmniWeb: If this option is selected, OmniWeb will discard your history when you quit the application.
Save history entries for [x] days: Allows you to set the number of days that OmniWeb will remember History entries for. Any items older than this will be automatically removed.
Limit disk cache to [x] MB: Allows you to limit the amount of space that the disk cache can occupy. Pages that you view on the web are generally stored in the cache for a period of time enabling faster access to content that you have already viewed.
Validate cached content: This setting controls how OmniWeb will connect to a site to make sure the content in the disk cache is still valid. The following options are available:
- OmniWeb will always contact the website to verify the validity of content in the disk cache.
- OmniWeb will reuse content from the cache without checking with the server if the server specified that it was okay to do so when we originally retrieved the resource.
- OmniWeb will use content from the cache even in some cases when it might have changed on the server.
