Why are website icons now removed when history is cleared?

Hi,
Just a very quick question:
Why are website icons now removed when you clear the history in Safari?
I have noticed this in the current Lion (and Mountain Lion) versions, this happens, when in previous versions they remained after clearing the history.
Is there any way to change this?
Thanks!

Search term "Clear History".
"Clearing your history also empties caches, removes website icons, and clears the list of recent searches. Website icons are small graphics that help identify sites on the Internet. You see them in the address and search field, the bookmarks list, and other places. You can see your recent searches by clicking the magnifying glass at the left end of the address and search field when it’s empty".
That is how clearing history works in Safari 6.
There is no way change it.
Best.

  • Why are objects in tables removed when opening a document (created in pages 2009) in the new pages?

    I have a problem: Documents I created in Pages 2009, when opened in the new Pages I get "objects in tables were removed".
    This makes all my documents useless !
    Is there any way to get the objects (images and tables mostly) to load into the tables across all my documents ?

    No, there isn't. Use Pages 09 with your old documents and Pages 5.0 for creating new ones. Do you really need Pages 5.0 is the question you need to answer. If not, don't.

  • I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • Why are my photos now appearing in very low resolution?

    What happened to my sharp and clear photos? Why are my photos now very low resolution with a progress image appearing as a circle on the photo and filling in 1/4 of the circle.  Why are the photos very low resolution copies that look like crap? Where are the good sharp photos I took?

    Latest iOS on iPad Air in photos. It appears server was slow. Progress bar circle now filling in complete circle and resolution is good.  Why do I have to download my photos from iCloud i have plenty of memory space on my ipad ?  Same with movies and music I purchased.  I bought extra physical
    memory when I purchased my iPad so I could view my stuff regardless of whether I had a wifi connection...apparently not.

  • HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
    There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between)

  • Why are some jpg images scrambled when they appear in my screen saver?   The same images look fine in Preview and Finder.  Some images appear scrambled in the screen saver 'preview' window and the actual screen saver. Other jpg images look fine.

    The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos.  However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled.  What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

    Until now my file icons in finder windows were clear and sharp. Now when I add a picture file to the same folder, the icon is very pixelated. What happened and how do I fix it?

  • Why are desktop icon positions for some files forgotten on restart

    On restart/reboot some of the file icon positions are forgotten and the files reappear stacked over the startup drive icon.  The remainder of the files on the desktop are in their correct/previous positions.  Why are somefile locations not remembered?

    Sounds like the .DS_Store invisible file is corrupt.  That is my wild guess.  There is a .DS_Store invisible file for each folder that the Finder visits.  It is where the Finder stores this position information.
    NOTE:  The following suggestions will cause the Finder to forget the positions of everything in the target folder, but after that the Finder should be able to remember going forward.  If you have some icons in the correct positions and you do not want to forget where they were, you should take a screen shot, or create a map (with pencil and paper), or other way to memorize where they were.
    There are utilities that can toggle the Finder internal settings to display invisible files, and then reset the settings so they are again hidden (you would trash the .DS_Store of the misbehaving folder while it was visible, then reloaunch the Finder or reboot, but a Finder relaunch is faster).
    There are Terminal commands that can be used to just remove the .DS_Store file.
    The killall Finder is needed to relaunch the Finder.  You could also use Apple menu icon -> Force Quit... -> Finder -> Relaunch.
    If a folder does not have a .DS_Store when the Finder opens the folder, the Finder will create a new one and assigns all the icons a default position.  Then you should be able to reposition the icons as you desire, and it should remember them from that point forward.
