  2. add OS X Applications to what Choosy can let you "Choose"

    Choosy is such a godsend for keeping ME in control of what browser launches what file/link!

    After wrestiling with OSX today to stop it from launching an app for a filetype of which I prefer another application to launch by default instead, I found myself thinking "damn, I wish there was a version of Choosy that worked with Application launching".

    Yes, I know you can right-click on a flie and tell it to open with another app (or option click and set it as a default), but Finder context menus can be VERY sluggish, depending on what other Finder extensions or filetype associations you have. And the "Open With" menu gets so fricken polluted with apps that you would NEVER use to open the file, that you always end up dreading right-clicking on a file to open it with a different app.

    ManyTricks has a freebie "Open With Manager" app which is no longer developed and supported, and works okay, but it still doesnt let you exclude certain apps from the Open With menu for some reason (i.e. Path Finder).

    If Choosy could let you create a list of preferred apps for specific filetypes, and display the popup icon Chooser when you click on a file, that would be awesome!

  3. 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.

  6. 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. Browser extension closes tab when opening in another browser

    The Safari extension lets me open a menu of browsers and click one to open that tab in that browser.

    I'd like to be able to option-click to also close that tab in the current browser. (An option to make this the default would also be nice.)

  11. 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.

  12. 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?

  17. 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).

  19. 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.

  20. 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
