  1. Apply advanced rules to expanded URLs

    When clicking a shortened URL it would be great if the advanced rules could be applied to the expanded target.

  3. 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.

  4. Open in background

    If open-in-background can be made to work reliably, it would be a great additional option for Advanced rules.

  5. 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?

  7. 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?

  9. Option to Route All URLs through Choosy, including In-Browser

    I would really appreciate the option for in-browser links to be routed through Choosy. I use many Site-Specific Browsers and I mainly bought Choosy to have it automatically direct to the appropriate SSB while using my main browser.

    For example. I'd like to direct all YouTube URLs to an SSB of a specific account. If I I'm not paying attention, which is likely to happen eventually, I'll slip up and forget to open the url with Choosy.

    I read an older comment that it was by design, but I think it's worth reconsidering. Choosy could default to the way it…

  10. Open links clicked in Entourage in background instead of bringing browser to foreground

    When I click a link from an email in Entourage, it brings the browser called by Choosy to the foreground. Would love to tell Choosy to always open links in the background

  11. Modifier key selection appears to be broken in Catalina

    Attempting to set a custom modifier key and am unable to set it. This is using 2.1 on Catalina. Looks like it is keeping a default of ⌘-shift but you cannot change it.

  12. enable the browser plugins to send all tabs (not just one) to a different browser

    The browser plugins are great for sending windows to a different browser, but for people like me who keep tons of tabs open at once, it'd be awesome if I could send them all to a different browser at once.

  13. Not working on 64bit 10.6.3. Menu icon missing, no reaction when clicking links

    I just tried Choosy on Mac OS X 10.6.3 64bit. Unfortunately, it isn't working, When clicking a link, absolutely nothing happens, even though I defined actions. Also, no menubar icon is displayed, no matter what.

  14. 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.

  17. Make URL field wider in rule definition window

    When I define/edit a rule, for example "Web address" "matches this regular expression", input field for that URL expression is very narrow (from https?://gitlab.com/timbercode(/.*)? I see only https?://git).

    Even if I make window wider, input field is still narrow.

  20. fix that Choosy doesn't work for links in other applications

    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…
