  1. It would be great to create a rule for AirDropped Urls (like from phone to mac).

    This was added in Choosy 2.1, which was just released.

    It’s probably worth noting that 2.1 also fixed a bug where a link sent to Choosy while the prompt was shown would be lost—now this bug is fixed, Choosy will queue up links and handle them after the prompt is closed. If you are AirDropping a bunch of links to your Mac in quick succession, this might also be helpful behaviour and might mean in some cases you don’t need an AirDrop rule.

  2. Choosy does not load. Opening it from the System Preferences reveals an error: "Could not load Choosy preference pane"

    The console reports the following:
    choosy System Preferences[772]: ### com.choosyosx.ChoosyPrefPane instantiatePrefPaneObject exception:You must specify the URL of the appcast as the SUFeedURL key in either the Info.plist or the user defaults!

    I've tried Choosy 1.3, 1.2.1 and 1.1 with no avail

    I've uninstalled it and deleted Library subfolders to "start fresh"

    I'm using OSX 10.11.6 and Choosy has been working fine for many months. I really don't understand why it stopped working.

    I'm a registered user and don't really care about…

    Choosy 2.0 is out now, and is now a stand alone app (rather than a system preference pane), so this system preferences issue should be resolved.

  3. Choosy runs in AppTranslocation mode, even though the .prefPane file has been moved after downloading. This makes Little Snitch throw up a confirmation dialog after every restart.

    With the release of Choosy 2.0, Choosy is now a regular app that runs from the /Applications folder. Translocation should no longer be an issue.

  4. I'm trying Choosy for the first time, but no matter which settings I use, it doesn't seem to be working. I see no behavior that's any different from not having it installed at all. Everything just opens in Safari, as usual.

    Has it been tested in High Sierra?

    There is a new version of the Chrome extension which resolves the crashing issue.

    With older versions of Choosy the new Chrome extension may prompt “do you want to open Choosy?” each time it is used.

    With Choosy 2.1 or later, both the crashing and the prompt should be resolved.

  6. We're not all running the latest versions browsers or MacOS.

  7. Advanced rules about source apps don't work with some my apps:
    - Slack
    - Microsoft Outlook
    - xMind
    Instead of opening the chosen Chrome, Choosy asks me to choose from all browsers defined in settings ("Browsers" tab).

    However, native Mail.app works great and uses the desired browser.

    MacBook Air Mid 2012
    MacOS Sierra 10.12.1
    Choosy 1.1

    It worked great a while ago, but after some recent update (I didn't notice, which one) stopped.

    Can you check this issue out?

  9. I'm running macOS Sierra 10.12.5 and Choosy 1.2.1. I just created a fresh install of macOS and, using the latest 1.2.1, was able to get Choosy successfully installed, licensed and confirmed working. However, whenever I attempt to create a rule under Advanced by pressing the "+", System Preferences crashes (Kernel Protection Failure) and produces the error "System Preferences quit unexpectedly while using the Choosy plug-in". I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall and reboot the system. If it's helpful I can forward the Problem Details and System Configuration log that is produced when the error occurs. I'm also happy to…

  10. In Sierra 10.2.2, Safari (10.0.2) systematically displays a dialog whenever I invoke "Open in Choosy" in the contextual menu:

    "Do you want to allow this page to open Choosy?"

    Is there any way to avoid that extra step every time?

  11. In the last week, I've started seeing an odd behavior. If I open a second profile in chrome, and then close it, choosy start thinking chrome isn't open anymore. This results in all my url opens hitting the wrong browser.

    I'm running choosy 1.1
    chrome 54.0.2840.71
    and osx 10.11.6

  12. I am using Choosy to separate my work and personal browsing.

    I have set it up to show the prompt from links from the apps Airmail and Skype like this:
    https://dl.dropbox.com/s/qnkwqcli8mhmswg/Screenshot_2016-07-15_10-13-51.png?dl=0

    This works well in Skype, but it is not working in Airmail...

    I have another rule that shows the prompt when I hold FN and click on a link (in any app) and that rule does work in Airmail.

    PS:
    Thank you SO much for the latest update. It is amazing. I use choosy every day and I am very happy to see it getting better.

    I appreciate your…

    There’s a fix for this coming in the next release.

    In the meantime, clicking the “+” button will resolve the display (although it’ll leave you with an empty row to remove)

  15. I have two conditions setup in a single rule. When I go to edit the rule, both conditions are on top of each other.

    I have a screenshot but we have not link to upload.

  16. I just downloaded Choosy last night. Upon installation, I was able to see and configure a rule in the Advanced behaviour rules panel. However, after restarting the machine later in the evening, I can no longer see the contents of the panel. If I click on the blank panel, I can bring up the various drop downs.

    I have a fix for this, but sadly it’s El Cap only. It’ll be in the next release, sometime in the next few weeks, but that release will also be El Cap only.

  17. For some reason, Choosy lets you pick some apps as a "source application" for rules, but ignores them. Slack is one example (and the one I find most frustrating).

    You can create a rule that says "All of the following are true: Source application is "Slack.app". But even after deleting all other rules, a link clicked on inside Slack uses the default Choosy behaviour (in my case, popping up the list of browsers) instead of the rule behaviour.

    I would like to be able to select Slack as a source application and have it work. Thanks!

    Source application wasn’t working correctly for all applictions, but it’s now fixed in version 1.2

    Note that for Slack specifically, you’ll still need to use the work around Philip wrote up in the comments (thanks, Philip).

  18. I get the "click on Enable Choosy..." OK button locked so I can't enable Choosy.

    Sigh...

  19. I'd love to see Choosy's safari extension add some padding to its button to look more in line with the default set of buttons in Safari.

    Example can be seen here: http://imgur.com/cy0DfXs

    I just pushed a new version of the extension, with a much better version of the icon for the toolbar button (it’s the correct size, and has a retina version)

  20. When first installing the app and visiting settings i get a pop up "Choosy is disabled - To enable it, check the "Enable Choosy" box on the general settings page"
    However the OK button seems disabled which doesnt allow me to get back to system preferences meaning i need to force quit. This also means i cant use the helper to uninstall. Is there anyway to enable Choosy from terminal or a settings file rather than through the Settings UI?
