Issue: Selection window opens when no browser is running

[lars18th]

Hi,

I'm using BrowserPicker because at time I'm using three different Chrome profiles (default, work and game). So I've configured it in this way:

• Copied "Google Chrome" configuration to three different new browsers ("Google Chrome (profile_name)"), each one configured with the corresponding --profile-directory="dir" value. And with "Disable automatic updates" set on.
• The default "Google Chrome" and "Microsoft Edge" browser are still enabled (for convenience).
• In behaviour I set "When no default is configured matching the url, use: "Google Chrome (default)" to open in my default profile.
• Also I set "Disallow network activity" because I don't need it. And the "Always show browser selection window" is off.
• And in Defaults the list is empty (not needed).

With this configuration I can open all links in my default Chrome profile. And when picking with the ALT key the selection window is opened, to select alternative profiles/browsers or open in privacy mode. That's great.

However I've one small issue: all is working without troubles when almost one instance of chrome.exe is running. If Chrome is not running, then when launching one URL then the window selections always appears... Why this behaviour? Was it intentional that if no browser is running, the selection window must appear?

Please, let me know what I need to change this to overcome this annoying behaviour.
Thank you.

yes, if my normal default browser is not running, I want to select the one to use, as I keep tabs and windows between sessions and I may want to open a link in an alternate browser just for a quick peek without waiting for the startup/activating whatever might be open

I would be happy to add an option to overrule that behaviour, of course.
