What is it?

A site tracking tool for Apple's Safari.

Requirements
        * Mac OS X 10.2.3
        * Safari Beta

Installing

Copy Pith to your applications folder or anywhere else for that matter. It's window will show up only when itself or Safari is the frontmost app.

Usage

Option-clicking a site will hide other windows (temporarily enabe hide-others).
If you like, you can add a Pith folder to your Safari Bookmark Collections. Any folders you create within it will show up in Pith's menu. Loose bookmarks will not show up.
The first nine windows are accessable via Command-Option-1 thru Comand-Option-9

Known Issues

On some machines, the list of windows may be empty.  This is a bug in AppleScript, and I am trying to work around it.

The wrong window is activated when closing a window in auto-hide mode. (the eldest, rather than the last used)
After a hide all, a window is reactivated.
To prevent the old window from remaining active, the windows flash when switching. Anyone know how to make a window key using AppleScript/Events?
Sometimes windows will animate oddly.
If safari quits while it is refreshing, Pith may lose the open sites too.
Processor usage goes up a lot when many windows are open.

Other Notes

The update rate is based on the amount of time it takes to refresh the sites. It uses the following formula: (2sec + x * refresh time) where the x is (Often = 1) to (Rarely = 8). There is a maximum wait of nine seconds. Your results may vary. Suggestions on better timing are certainly welcome.
