Remember to check the Roadmap too and see what's already planned...

extending support to various media types, not just browser
It would be nice if Choosy could support something other than a browser. Maybe mail applications, Media Players or something else.

Allow the browser selection to be Spaces aware
I'd love to be able to select my default browser based on the current space. This means i can use separate browsers in separate spaces for programming/work vs. personal/leisure.
It would be even better if I could set domains/regex patterns on a per space basis, allowing me to restrict the curre... more

If I click a mailto link within a web site, I would like the option to contact the link on a personal basis (using Mail) or for business purposes (using Entourage)

add an option to specify behaviour based on network location
it would be useful to have different behaviours for different network location, e.g., I would:
- open in Safari when I'm at home
- open in Firefox when I'm at office #1
- etc. -

Fix bug where Choosy is disabled on startup
Choosy is installed and working beautifully, and set as standard browser in Safari. Until I restart... Almost every time I restart (I'd say 80-90 % of the time), Choosy has disabled itself in the System Preferences and Safari has taken the position of default browser.
So the first thing I need t... more

Opening files from hard drive fails
With Choosy 0.9.1 beta there seems to be a problem when you try to open files (I tried with an HTML page) on your hard drive. Opening links (e.g. from Mail) works as expected but a file does not. Here is the console output (when Choosy starts):
10/02/09 21:01:40 Choosy[514] Failed to get an int ... more
There are several improvements to this in the 0.9.3 release:
1) Choosy properly registers itself with the OS as a viewer app for HTML files
2) There are separate settings for using Choosy as the default app for HTML files and the default app for HTTP URLs
3) The advanced behaviour rules system allows you to set up specific rules for local files (e.g. I have them set to open in TextMate by default but if I hold shift while opening the file I get a TextMate/Firefox/Validator prompt)I'm hoping updates should solve the problems you've been having, let me know in the comments if there are any more issues. If not I'll close this issue.

There was another issue that's just been fixed: There was a problem opening local files that had special characters (e.g. spaces) in the file names.

Allow skinning of the browser selection dialog
It would be neat if we could really tweak the UI of the browser selection dialog. I'm thinking similar to the way QuickSilver allows different skins for their interface. This way, Choosy can really fit into the overall aesthetic the user has set up.

search google in not just Safari
I'd love to have the option to search google in whatever browser is currently running. For some reason, searching Google from a cocoa-app always opens Safari, which isn't always the best choice.

Fix spawning of windows from Fluid
I am using Choosy at work, where I use Firefox for work stuff, Safari for personal stuff, and Fluid for Gmail. I have Choosy set to launch links from Entourage in Firefox and links from the Fluid/Gmail application in Safari. Works great -- except that it's spawning an extra window when I click on... more

Add an option to remember your selection
Like if you visit a domain semi frequently, but not enough that you want to create a new rule, have a setting so it will automatically create the rule if you want it to.

Make the rules work with Dashboard.
Right now if you specify the app as Dashboard, it doesn't actually follow the rule. It would be nice to work with Dashboard. Or even individual widgets.

ability to quickly change behaviour from the menu bar
From the menu bar add the ability to quickly select certain other preferences e.g. 'use best running browser'
