Safari Leopard download behavior sucks!

[reh]

Mac OS X 10.5.1
Safari 3.0.4 (5523.10)

I have set Safari to download to the desktop in the preferences. However, it's insisting on creating a folder with todays date and throwing the download in there. I despise this behavior! Is there anyway to force Safari to simply download a file to the desktop like any other sane web browser does?

That is weird, it doesn't happen for me with Safari 3.0.4 (5523.10).

In fact I have never seen this behaviour from Safari.

Do you have any plugins installed, saft in particular?

I've never seen it do that either

I have PithHelmet 2.8.2 and SafariStand 3.0L151 installed. I also deleted the Downloads folder after switching the download location to my desktop. Since this seems to be non-standard behavior, I'll try digging a little deeper to see what's causing it.

OK, I feel really stupid now. SafariStand has a "tidy by date" option for downloads that I actually enabled yesterday thinking it was something else. Sorry for the misplaced rant. But hey! That's really the only annoying thing I've experienced with Leopard, so that's not too bad.

Considering it's not even caused by Leopard, I'd say so

and others
