Just in case anybody might miss it in the comment below the earlier post: FernDave wrote: "Mike is good with these kinds of updates, but if you can't wait, you can hack the bundle to make it work with the new version of Safari. "In /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins. Control-click on PithHelmet.bundle and and Show Package Contents. Open the info.plist file. Find MaxBundleVersion and change it to 420. It's worked in the past and seems to work now, but YYMV!" I don't know what "YYMV" means but I sure know that FernDave's method brought PithHelmet back to life and made OS 10.4.7's new Safari 2.0.4 version play nice with PH. Thank you FernDave. And thank you very, very much Mike Solomon for a superb, must-have complement to Safari. One forgets the beauty of PithHelmet until the first ugly moment of trying to pay attention to a webpage while faced with a jungle of distractions from which PithHelmet protects us. Respectfully, Norm

Aha! FernDave's hack brings PithHelmet back to life w/ OS 10.4.7 - nnager

Forgot to mention that I used TextEdit to open the "info.plist file." I was initially stumped when clicking on "info.plist file" didn't do anything. Once TextEdit opened the file , all I had to do was do a Command-F find of MaxBundleVersion and type in its place 420.

This worked great for me. Thanks for the tip. It's amazing how much you miss this plugin when it breaks.

Wow, it did work, but I almost backed out when I did a find on MaxBundleVersion and came up with two different places, the 417 and a second one in the 500's. I finally got brave and changed the 417 to 420 and luckily, it worked for me.

Yeah, I'm done updating the OS until this plugin gets updated. I forget how out of control websites have become until I try to read a news article with cartoons and movies playing all around me.

My eyes and brain thank you for this mindsaver.
