  1. Paid for choosy; sometimes, it just stops working during a work session

    Just recently had Choosy stop working during a session, after it has worked fine for a period. For instance, I am in Mail now and a link click simply launches the default browser -- the box of browser icons doesn't appear. Five minutes before, it had been working fine. This has happened 3 times in the past several days, during which Apple I believe has released some software updates I installed, so perhaps that's the problem.

  2. Always open URL on browser XYZ (even if link entered in the address bar of another browser)

    I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but just like we have the existing regular expression system plus the Firefox plugin, have the browser plugin send a given URL to Safari (for example) if the loading page matches an expression.

    Reason?? I love Firefox but I can't use it with Flash/video sites (like YouTube and Vimeo)... Forget it, it's SLOOW and borderline useless.

    I'd love this feature! :) <3

  7. Add support for the screenshot application Voila

    Voila is a screenshot application with a buit-in browser that allows acquiring images of full webpages, DOM elements, etc. in a very similar manner to the application Little Snapper (which works excellently with Choosy).

  8. 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 a link in Fluid. Can you fix?

  10. Create behavior and rule "profiles"

    It would be great to be able to set up "profiles" which are sets of behaviors & advanced rules, then be able to toggle between them in the Menu Bar (or even snazzier, have your auto-detected location change them a la MarcoPolo (http://www.symonds.id.au/marcopolo/).

  11. Choosy disabled itself before it was due to expire.

    I am running Choosy 0.9.2. In System Preferences, it says in red, "Choosy is not registered, you may use it for another 273 days." However, it has now disabled itself. I noticed earlier that in the menubar there were two Choosy menus, 0.9.2 (old icon) and 0.9.3 (triangle icon). Now there is only the 0.9.2 menu. Choosy 0.9.2 has asked in the past to upgrade to 0.9.3, and it told me then that if I did so, my trial period would be set to 90 days. That was less than 90 days ago, and I do not remember even downloading…

    It sounds like some confusion has occured between the two versions – one has expired and the other hasn’t. The automated update shouldn’t install a new version without asking, and when it does it should replace the old version so there are a number of issues here.

    Could you email me and I can get some more details from you?

  12. allow reordering of browsers in priority list by drag & drop

    I'm sure this used to work, but it's broken in 0.93: dragging a browser entry just results in it flying back into place. Expected behaviour: the list is reordered.

  13. 0.93 does not stay enabled

    Installed 0.93 over previous version. Each time I click on the pref pane, it tells me Choosy is not enabled. I tick all four boxes in the "enable Choosy" section, click "Start helper now" and press Cmd-Q.

    On going back to the pref pane, I am warned about Choosy not being enabled AGAIN. All four boxes are unticked and the helper is shown as not running. (BTW, the first click on Choosy changes the title bar to "Loading Choosy" but the pane does not appear — I have to click it again to get this far)

    This happens even if I…

  14. 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 preference for runningMode (value was (null))
    10/02/09 21:01:40 Choosy[514] Failed to get an int preference for generalMode (value was (null))

    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.

  15. 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'

  16. option to lock to a specific browser from the menu bar

    Ability to lock the browser choice to a particular browser selected in the menu item's menu, until disabled again. Choosy won't be shown when opening URLs, but the browser selected when locking is automatically chosen.
