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!

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.

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.
