SafariStand plugin has OmniWeb-style "tabs" planned for Safari?

My love affair with Safari plug-ins extends beyond Saft, believe it or not. My other must-have is SafariStand. It provides super-fast bookmarks and history searching, a bookmark shelf, bookmark property editor that lets you add keywords, categories  and other properties, enables the re-arranging of Safari tabs, intelligent plug-in blocking, colorized source-view and a lot more that I am finding it hard to describe. It's one of those things you have to download to see first hand why you shouldn't live without it. At the very least, you need to look at the screenshots.

On Pimp My Safari (very popular site at TUAW today) I learned that Hetima, the developer of SafariStand, is planning a September update that will bring OmniWeb-style tabs to the already-killer list of features. Instead of just text-labeled tabs, these tabs are thumbnail images of the pages they represent and instead of lining them up across the top of the window, the thumbnails appear in a sidebar drawer. It's a very cool feature and one I can't wait to see implemented in Safari - even if it does take a third-party hack to do it.

The developer posted a hint of things to come over at Flickr and he's also got a sweet little Quicktime teaser on his own blog that makes my mouth water almost as much as all that grilled cheese from yesterday.

Hopefully the tabs up top can also be hidden somehow--the tab sidepanel is the main reason I use Omniweb, and I'd love to have this option in Safari; I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I for one can't wait. I love omniweb's tabs, but not the slowness of omniweb itself. This is great news, thanks!

I don't think much on pimpmysafari works with the new, improved Safari(s) with "improved support for 3rd party web applications"

Is it just me, or does this not work with Safari 2.0.1?

I really am not a fan of those type of tabs... but maybe being in safari, and a new style to them they might be more appealing to use.
