  1. When clicking on an Apple News link in an OSX app such as Mail.app, it would be good if Choosy could intercept that link and open it in a browser instead of the Apple News app. While all Apple News links seem to start with https://apple.news/ a Choosy rule doesn't catch them as there seems to be some OS-level URL capture happening.

  2. I love the idea of Choosy - but I can't quite get it to fully work :(

    What I'd like to happen is when I click on a link in Safari, the link gets opened directly in Firefox instead of as a new tab in Safari. The documentation suggests this is easy to accomplish, but no combination of settings that I've tried have worked (for any combination of browsers and rules). I've enabled the "Enable Choosy for links" option, and tried various flavors of rules, but nothing behaves differently.

    It's worth noting that other core features of Choosy are working…

  3. Was glad to see the new Firefox extension update since it hadn't been working before, but now I don't see the Open with Choosy menu option anywhere in the context menu when I right click on a link. Did that break in this version bump or am I doing something wrong?

  5. Usually I want my links to open in whichever browser I was using most recently so that would be a great default behaviour.

  7. It would be very useful to be able to open any URL from anywhere in macOS within Choosy via a macOS Share extension.

    This feature would have the added bonus of making the Choosy Safari extension optional.

  9. I'm using Chrome and Epichrome as two separate full-featured browsers and have added both to Choosy.

    Under "Browsers" they show with their respective app names, but both show the Chrome icon.

    In the Prompt, they both show up as "Chrome" with the Chrome icon.

    While it might be a bit different than usual as these browsers are heavily related, they show correctly in the MacOS Dock and switcher.

    Please detect these names correctly, or allow customising the prompt names and icons.

  10. Rules can be fiddly to set up and I want to add a variation on a rule. It would be nice if I could duplicate an existing rule and then modify it.

  11. Hi! Happy choosy customer, thanks for the app!

    I have a complex set of choosy rules to manage work links vs. personal links.

    Currently I have to manually add these rules each time a new url is encountered that is specifically for 'work' or 'personal'

    I'd like the option to add new rules as part of the link-opening flow.

    something like:
    I click a link to www.google.com/foo/bar -> choosy asks me which browser I want to use
    I hold down 'r' while clicking 'Chrome'
    Choosy responds with 'Always opening www.google.com/foo/bar' in Chrome.
    -> rule is added and can be…

  12. I am trying to use Slack as the "browser" for all Slack message links (mostly coming from Todoist)

    • I have it setup in Choosy but when I click on a link, it puts the Slack app in focus but leaves me wherever I was, ie it doesn't take me to the message that was linked to

    • as a test, I set the browser to Chrome and it works properly

      • Chrome opens a new tab
      • Chrome then "forwards" the message link to Slack
      • Slack comes to the front and takes me to the message

    So the link is right. It seems…

  13. I have multiple chrome profiles spread across spaces (macOS 11.5.2). Whenever I choose a chrome profile for opening a link, it opens properly in the correct browser but then goes to my space 1, which contains my Safari browser. Is this a bug?

  14. open -a /Applications/Choosy.app https://google.com
    

    correctly opens the Choosy picker, but

    open -a /Applications/Choosy.app test.html
    

    always opens Safari.

  15. If Chrome is not already open, a new window is created with the clicked link. Then the Chrome window with previous browser session opens on top of that, hiding the new window.

    Ideally Choosy should just open the window with the previous session, and add a tab to that.

  16. I have several Choosy rules to open links differently based on which application is active. But for the 'Fantastical' 3 app, this rule doesn't trigger. Any ideas?

  17. Would it be possible to be able to configure additional steps before (and potentially after) the URL is opened, ideally to include "Run Script"? Like Hazel but for URLs.

    The URL could be sent as a parameter to a script and its result optionally used to replace the URL.

    This would permit (depending on the script):
    - the URL to be rewritten
    - a particular Keyboard Maestro macro to be run
    - a particular browser window to be opened (all links from Mail open in a single window, say)
    - swap to a particular desktop first (and use the version…

  18. In rules, the modifier key always includes Escape whenever I try any modifier key or combination. Escape creates problems. If I try to leave it as Escape, it usually triggers a system alert or exits. I want a backdoor that if I want to open a link in a browser and have a rule that opens the link in a specific browser, I can use the modifier key to force choosy's menu. That could be an app-wide preference instead of the rule. Or else how to make the rule not include the escape key by default?

  19. I use a "desktop" app called Shift (tryshift.com) to manage multiple gmail accounts. It's effectively a browser that wraps multiple instances of gmail and provides a nice user interface for switching between active accounts.

    Ideally, I'd like to force Google Hangout links from the included Google Calendar view to open in Google Chrome (instead of the in-app browser).

    For whatever reason, choosy can't seem to match against any combination of the hangout links (meet.google.com, etc).

    The only thing that works is assigning a modifier key then clicking the Hangout link. Any idea how to make this work without the modifier?

  20. Add a "None" option to the browser list so a rule can simply do nothing with no UI or prompt.
