  1. Support for Handoff

    Let's say I want to handoff a webpage from Safari on iOS to Chrome on Mac. How would I set up a rule to support this?

  3. Update Choosy to bring web browsers to the forefront.

    I can't believe this is the intended behavior, but when I click on a link, Choosy sends the link to the web browser but does not bring it frontmost. I can't imagine what setting this might be. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

  7. 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 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.

  8. fix the bug where Choosy just disables itself on it's own. Every day it does this. Not boot related.

    If this is OS related then it's a bug. Very annoying that I can use Choosy, come back a couple of hours later when nothing seems to have changed and it has disabled itself.

  9. Choosy disabled itself before it was due to expire.

    I am running Choosy 0.9.2. In System Preferences, it says in red, "Choosy is not registered, you may use it for another 273 days." However, it has now disabled itself. I noticed earlier that in the menubar there were two Choosy menus, 0.9.2 (old icon) and 0.9.3 (triangle icon). Now there is only the 0.9.2 menu. Choosy 0.9.2 has asked in the past to upgrade to 0.9.3, and it told me then that if I did so, my trial period would be set to 90 days. That was less than 90 days ago, and I do not remember even downloading 0.9.3, but it seems to now be on my system.

    When I clicked a link a minute ago, Stainless (my #1 browser in Choosy's list) opened and loaded a redirect page saying Choosy had expired, and if I did nothing, it would continue to open Stainless.

    Admingeorgebrock (Admin, Choosy) responded

    It sounds like some confusion has occured between the two versions – one has expired and the other hasn’t. The automated update shouldn’t install a new version without asking, and when it does it should replace the old version so there are a number of issues here.

    Could you email me and I can get some more details from you?

  14. Links clicked in one Fluid SSB matching a rule to open in another SSB, do not open at all.

    Fluid v1.4

    The current SSB stays focused, however the Window loses focus (the Application is still the foremost application, however).

  15. Bug: Click on link, get Choosy, Chrome opens new window (wrong) but not page (blank/home instead).

    MacOS 10.13.1. Chrome 61.0.3163.100 64bit. Seems to have started in the last few weeks. Choos Safari or Firefox and those open correctly.

  16. Different options for left & right mouse clicks

    I'd like to have it so that a left click uses the default system browser, and a right click brings up Choosy, or at least Choosy's browser list in the contextual menu. There seems to be no option for this in settings or advanced rules.

  17. Always open URL on browser XYZ (even if link entered in the address bar of another browser)

    I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but just like we have the existing regular expression system plus the Firefox plugin, have the browser plugin send a given URL to Safari (for example) if the loading page matches an expression.

    Reason?? I love Firefox but I can't use it with Flash/video sites (like YouTube and Vimeo)... Forget it, it's SLOOW and borderline useless.

    I'd love this feature! :) <3

  18. 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.

  19. hipchat adobe air app doesn't honor choosy links

    I use HipChat's desktop air app for OS X and unfortunately choosy just opens them right up in Chrome :( I saw in a previous release note that you fixed it working for air apps, maybe this one is different?

  20. Choosy does not match ReadNow.app in rule definition

    I have a rule which says "if source application is /Applications/ReadNow.app, use best running browser". However, even if I promote this rule to rule 1, when I open a link from ReadNow, I am asked to select from all running browsers instead of it Just Working and opening the link in Safari.

    Choosy works correctly with similar rules referencing other applications. What's going wrong here?
