A fix for the history date bug...

For a while now, OmniWeb has had this small but annoying bug where the
history list will show multiple folders labeled 'today' when viewed in
a separate history window. For people like me who often leave OmniWeb
running for a week or more at a time, it makes the history a lot harder
to deal with since you end up with a whole list of 'today' folders.
The fix for this is to quit and relaunch OmniWeb, but this is kind of a
pain.
For other people bothered by this problem, I just came up with a
workable solution. Create a cron job which quits OmniWeb each night
(perhaps through an applescript), and then another one which relaunches
it a few minutes later. Thus, every day OmniWeb will have been freshly
launched the night before and the history list will be correct.
;-)
Does this fix inspire any OmniWeb developers to fix the bug? ;-)
