Choosy looks great and the idea behind it is exactly what I want to achieve. But it's just not working for me.

It seems to be functioning, but nothing happens when I click a link that should be trapped. They just open in Chrome as usual. I don't even get the popup to choose a browser.

I'm trying to get links in Gmail to my SSB apps like basecamp to open in the SSB. I installed ChoosyFluid, but when it runs it doesn't detect any SSBs to work with (i have 5 in my apps folder and on the dock) whether they're running or not.

I tried setting up a rule manually for all urls containing our basecamp domain, but again nothing happens.

What am i missing??

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

There is no output when you open the file.

I sent you a mail as well.

Profile support for ffox on the mac is a bit opaque, but I use it to keep a completely separate environment for e.g. online banking.

From the shell ".../Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -ProfileManager" lets you create new profiles, and then ".../Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -ProfileManager -P ProfileName" will launch firefox with a particular profile.

When you launch ffox this way, you can have multiple copies of it running at the same time. I don't really expect choosy to know what to do here automatically (prompt maybe?).

However, when you quit any ffox instance Choosy loses track of the other running ffox processes and no longer shows a check next to it in the menu. This I consider a bug... I have to exit and relaunch either choosy or ffox for it to start sending urls to ffox again.

I installed Choosy. I gave it one simple rule, which is to open all links with a particular URL in a particular browser. It doesn't work.

I read through all of the documentation and couldn't find anything I'm doing wrong.

I tested first with "use choosy for links" not checked. But clicking on links just opens in my default browser, as usual. I tested next with "use choosy for links," which asks me if I want choosy to be my default browser. I said yes. But clicking on links results in nothing happening at all.

I tested by clicking links in SimpleNote and Things.
The browser I specified is an instance of Epichrome.

This is the one thing I need Choosy to do, and it's not working. Is there something missing from the documentation, or is Choosy just a buggy and unreliable app? Please help.

ps, love your app

p.p.s the ajax request event (triggered while trying to type a title) is really slowing down this page's performance on my machine. Pinwheels every time it's fetching results in the middle of typing
