What happens when you try the top command? Does a browser window open with no URL, or maybe with a partial URL? Let me know and I'll see if something's broken.

 

Two things to keep in mind:

1. you have to give Alfred a second or two after you finish typing "prism myPrism www.google.com" to update the query for the workflow; if you're too fast, the prism won't have the entire URL yet (I need give better visual feedback for this)
2. opening a prism at a page only works if the prism isn't already running

It is, unfortunately, a pretty limited solution at the moment.

Actually nothing happens

If I type it, then press enter nor the Alfred window closes, nor a prism opens. Nothing… Just the general suggestions listed below.

If I type it with a “+”, it opens the prism (also I can see the URL in the alfred window below the name of the prism I about to create), but doesn’t open the URL in it.

Thanks for the help!

Ok, it kind of works. You can now start a prism at a particular URL with something like prism myPrism www.google.com. Unfortunately you can't open any URLs in an already opened prism, though. The method I'm using to make Prisms show up with a unique icon and name in the Dock is making it difficult to have Chrome do things like create new tabs or open URLs.

 

I also changed how the workflow names apps. Before, the actual prism .app directory was named with a UUID, and the prism name was stored in a config file in the .app directory. That makes the dock look messy, though, since the name of the .app directory is what shows up on the Dock. So if you've made some prisms, they're going to have weird names when you update. I added a new modifier to the workflow to help with that -- you can hold Shift now to rename a prism.

Hi!

Thanks for the great workflow! Helps my daily work a lot.

But… 

Creating new prism with specifiedURL to open will be very helpful for me, though it doesn’t work for me. What am I doing wrong?

I have tried the commend you mentioned first

prism myPrism www.google.com.

, but it does nothing, because I have to type prism + ‘something’ to create a new prism. So, I have tried this way too

prism + ‘prism name’ ’someURL’

, but this doesn’t do the job too.
