Fix choosy helper not starting after Mavericks upgrade
Love choosy. After upgrade to Mavericks, choosy helper no longer starts automatically even though it is checked to do so in prefs pane. Have to open system preferences->choosy and then click the "start choosy helper". Then all works. Would just love it to start up automatically again.
11 votesThis should be resolved in Choosy version 1.1.

report bug
extensions for Chrome crash my chrome everytime,
11 votesThere 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.

stop cursor from dropping to screen bottom when invoked
Whenever Choosy is invoked, the cursor drops to bottom of screen. This means I need to move the cursor up-screen to select the browser I want to use to launch.
I am on a MacBook Pro with a dual monitor setup. So far, all clicks leading to Choosy have been from the primary screen. Anyone else seeing this bug.
9 votesThis only effects certain screen layouts. It is fixed and will be included in the next release.

Yosemite Beta OS X 10.10 (14A379b): Choosy will not work.
If I will open in the Preferences of Choosy 1.0.3 "Advanced" and open a Rule, I get since the new Update of Yosemite a message: Internal Error.
Sorry, the Message is in Germane and I am noct able to translate it
If I "edit selected rule" the windows open empty.
I installed Choosy at new, (with deleting the Preferences) but the same issue.
I will report the Bug also to Apple.
Is there any suggestion?8 votesChoosy 1.1 is working well with Mavericks and El Capitan.

A simple menu bar icon/menu will be included in the next version: Clicking the icon shows a menu listing your browsers (with an indiciaion of which are already running) and gives access to Choosy’s settings.

Preserve the order of behaviour rules
I realise that behaviour rules are evaluated in the order they are listed (which makes sense). And I appear to be able to drag and drop rules into a different order. But, the order doesn't then seem to persist. Which means that some of my ChoosyFluid-inserted rules are persisting below "Always open up links from some applications in my favourite browser" and I want the Fluid ones to take precedence.
I'm off to see if I can tweak the configuration directly to make it persist, but I'm wondering if there's a buglet whereby order changes aren't being automatically saved?

Popup wont allow me to select OK
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?7 votes -
queue up multiple links
When multiple links are sent to Choosy before the user has a chance to respond, only the last link actually makes it to the browser.
(This effect can be replicated easily by running "open http://google.com/ http://yahoo.com/" in a Terminal window.)
7 votesThere are several ways to fix this one, feedback from the community would be welcome. When there are queued links is it preferable for Choosy to:
a. Pop up several prompts, one after another (this can be confusing, especially if the “show URL in browser prompt” option is disabled)
Pop up one prompt and use the selection for every link in the queue (which could be annoying if you wanted them to go to different browsers or it meant some of your advanced behaviour rules weren’t triggered)c. Apply advanced behaviour rules but avoid multiple prompts by attempting to select for you, i.e. if a queued link is about to trigger a prompt and the browser used for the first link appears in that prompt then just use that browser (which could be confusing and leave users wondering why Choosy just did what it did)

Repackage the app so the installer doesn't require Rosetta on M1 computers
I gather that Choosy 2.2.1 is a universal app and should run natively on M1 computers. However, the installer package requires Rosetta. Is there a way to repackage the app so I do not need to let the system install Rosetta?
7 votesFrom version 2.3 (released yesterday) the installer no longer requires Rosetta.

Sign Choosy for 10.8/Gatekeeper
10.8/Gatekeeper currently seems to preclude the use of Choosy by default. I’m unsure of whether preference panes can be signed with Gatekeeper the way applications can, but it would be very nice <3
Thanks for making a great utility!
7 votesChoosy version 1.1 is now using code signing.

Add the Ability to Open Links in Already Open Browser
I want the ability to set a browser to be used, but only if it is open. If not, go to the next in the list and so on until hitting one with a browser already open.
If I don't already have the primary browser open and I want to view a link, I don't want it to open all the other windows from the previous session, which it will by default, to just see the new link. Instead, it should fall to a browser which is already open if there is one.
6 votesYou probably want the “use best running browser” option. This will work it’s way down the browser list (top to bottom) and use the first running browser it finds. If this doesn’t provide what you need please elaborate in the comments, if not I’ll close this issue.

Choosy is currently using 427 MB. After restart below 50MB.
6 votesChoosy version 1.1 has switched to automatic reference counting for memory management, and now has a much more stable memory profile. After several days of heavy usage, I see less than 20 MB of real memory usage.
