  2. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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).

  6. 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?

  7. Opening in Firefox spawns additional window

    When opening a page in Firefox, Firefox will spawn an additional new window (set to whatever is the preference of "Firefox Home" or blank page). This happens when Firefox isn't running aka is a cold start. The Firefox preference "open links in tabs" solves this problem, but only if Firefox is running.

    This is seen on macOS Big Sur running the latest version of all the apps.

  8. Opening non-incognito in Chrome

    Thanks for adding opening specifically to incognito on Chrome! It's really great.
    The current issue I have is that even when specify to open non-incognito, Chrome seems to open the url in the front most window, even if it's incognito.
    I understand that this is this has always been the existing behavior, and I'm not sure if this is possible, but the new feature made me want more :)

    Thanks for the great product.

  9. Links from Slack not working

    I've set up a number of rules in Choosy, to pick specific Chrome profiles based on a URL match. This works very well, except from Slack. When I click a link in Slack, Choosy always shows me the list of browsers, rather than automatically picking the appropriate one.

    Perhaps this has to do with URL obfuscation/redirection being done by Slack? (no idea)

  12. Add options in Advanced to open link in new window

    When you set a rule to open links in a given browser, it'd be great to have an option to open them in a new window or in an existing one.

  14. 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?

  18. Easier support for advanced rules by domain

    I'm looking for a tool that will route URLs by domain. e.g., things in my internal corporate domain go to one browser, Facebook goes to fluid, everything else goes to my "preferred" browser. Awesomely, Choosy's advanced rules support this, but, it's actually pretty cumbersome.

    The web address part is matching the whole URL, starting with the protocol, and ending with the path. So if I want to match all hosts in a given domain, without making a hole for malicious things like mallory.com/targetURL/1234, I need to use something like the following regexp:

    ^https?://([a-zA-Z0-9]+.)?facebook.com($|/.*)

    It works, but it's really unwieldy. I'd…

  19. Real Retina support for Choosy 1.1?

    The release notes for Choosy 1.1 say that it has Retina support, but when I click on a link that triggers the display of the browser prompt, the icons and text labels are still non-Retina.

    Running Choosy 1.1.1 in Sierra 10.12.2.
