I suggest you...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  2. 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.

  3. 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?

  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. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Open link in browser in background broken in Mountain Lion

    On Lion, when I Command-Clicked on a link in another app & then chose a browser in Choosy, that link would open with the browser remaining in the background.

    This behavior appears to be broken in Mountain Lion. No matter what I do, when I Command-Click on a link in another app & select Safari, for instance, Safari immediately jumps to the foreground.

    Any chance this can get fixed? Without it, Choosy is kind of annoying
    instead of awesome, like it normally is. :)

  11. 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

  12. The URL x-choosy://prompt.all/https://www.azimuthproject.org/azimuth/show/Experiments%20in%20Differential%20Logic doesn't work from

    URL's with spaces (either " " or "%20") stopped working at some point:

    x-choosy://prompt.all/https://www.azimuthproject.org/azimuth/show/Experiments%20in%20Differential%20Logic

    I'm pretty sure the logjam is at the macosx prefpane app, but I haven't proven that yet.

    If it's not obvious what the problem is, tell me what more I need to do?

  13. Choosy to Chrome stopped working

    Not sure what happened but after a Chrome restart, if I now try and select Chrome to open a URL, the choosy dialog graphic just moves down to where I clicked. I see the menu bar switch to "Google Chrome" however, so it seems like it's activating Chrome just not able to get the URL to it.

    Is there a log file or something I might be able to look at to try and figure out what has happened? Is this a known issue at all?

    I'm on Chrome 55.0.2883.95, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5).

  14. Choosy doesn't distinguish between standard Chrome and SSB Chrome

    I'm using Chrome SSBs on Mac for sites like Gmail.

    First, I'd like all links clicked in the Gmail SSB to open in the standard Chrome instance, without needing to right click and select "Open with Choosy".

    Second, even when I do click "Open with Choosy", the link will open in the wrong chrome instance. Instead of opening in standard Chrome, as I selected, the link will open in one of the SSB Chromes.

  15. 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…

  16. Lion 10.7: Cannot select Choosy as default browser

    On Mac OS X Lion 10.7, I cannot select Choosy as the default browser. I can navigate to the preference pane, but it is greyed out and cannot be selected. This means that none of the links I click on get sent to Choosy!

  18. 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.

  19. 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.
