I really like Choosy. Just bought it. But I'd like to see it improve in performance. My super powerful MacBook Pro takes about half a second to open a link and display the browser. Without Choosy it happens in immediately. Any ways to achieve that? Kind regards Eric

I am using choosy with fluid and I would like it so when I click on os x's built in facebook notifications, my fluid facebook app opens. I was unable to find a way to achieve this via advanced rules, and even if it is possible, it would be nice if the "source application" rule were just "source" and one was allowed to select things that aren't considered applications (such as os x notifications).
In the meantime though, is there a way to achieve this with the current state of choosy?

Choosy always displays the prompt even when my #1 browser is running. It didn't used to do this but it has been consistently acting this way for a while.

I'm sure this used to work, but it's broken in 0.93: dragging a browser entry just results in it flying back into place. Expected behaviour: the list is reordered.

... please fix this

Choosy is awesome but if you have a new rule, it's kind of a pain to add. I would love to see an easy way to add simple rule like: open this url in this browser from command line (which then can be wrap around an Alfred workflow)

Using the Choosy browser plugin in Safari to switch to Chrome (typically when a site needs Adobe Flash), often the browser will report that it doesn't understand URLs of the type x-choosy… (etc). The helper is allegedly running according to the Preference Pane. Stopping and starting the helper restores normal operation.

When you add/edit a custom rule to catch a web address containing a text, the text field has a fixed width which does not expand if the window is resized.

For long texts, one sees only a tiny bit.

Instead, the text field can just adjust to the window width to occupy as much space as possible.

I guess this is just a simple fix in the interface builder.

After upgrading to Mavericks, Choosey stopped working. I have been checking back for an update but then checked system preferences and found I just needed to launch the helper again. Not a problem once you know that's all that has happened but something you might want to know.

Any ideas?

Although I have added special rules for some sites, Mailplane still lets me choose the browser.

Hi

I have just downloaded a trial of Choosy and would like to use it in conjunction with Alfred so that searches on Google Drive open up on Chrome. I use Chrome for my work activity on Google Drive and I use Safari for most of my other internet use. I have tried setting up a rule for the address drive.google.com in the preference pane but it still defaults to Safari.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Voila is a screenshot application with a buit-in browser that allows acquiring images of full webpages, DOM elements, etc. in a very similar manner to the application Little Snapper (which works excellently with Choosy).

When I open the Choosy pref pane, I immediately see red text at the bottom and think, "oh no! what's wrong?"

Nothing is wrong - you're drawing my attention to a non-essential piece of information to tell me that you're thankful I registered.

1. Ideally, you would swap out the license info form for a display of my information (I shouldn't need to click "Save" again once my license key was verified).




2. At the very least, use black text for this message (or other HIG-compatible color that does not usually signify an error).

I have found that Mailplane does not respect choosy rules... it does not give me a browser prompt, and does not use the correct browser when I try to add an advanced rule for the app.

I'm running 0.9.3 and can't for the life of me figure out where to register. I want to give you money but I can't!!!! :-)

I currently find the menubar item for Choosy to be of limited value (I like to launch software via the keyboard using LaunchBar, not the mouse).

I did wonder if it would be possible to use this menu to re-order browsers in some way, then it would be of use to me (although how you'd do it is beyond me :).

I only want to use the advanced behaviour rules but I can't use that without constantly being promted in other browsers.

Solution: add a behaviuor option: do not promt, stay in current browser.

If I click an Entourage link after Choosy has been inactive for a few hours, it takes 15-30 seconds to display the browser choice icons, often with them being pixelated. During that time, cursor is also frozen. Pretty repeatable, but no issue if you just recently used Choosy.
