solved [SOLVED] Web Search cant open a chrome-extension page

[whiskeyjack]

Hi,

 

I am trying to open a chrome extension page by adding a custom binding in the Web Search section. 

 

This is how its setup:

 

 

Unfortunately when I try to trigger the custom binding, I get the "There is no application set to open the URL chrome-extension://..." prompt message. When I "choose application" and set it to Chrome, it works. But if I have to "Choose Application" every time I trigger this binding, that would make this a cumbersome process.

 

Looking elsewhere in Alfred,  I found a setting that I thought could resolve this issue.

 

Turning on that setting however still launches the "choose application" prompt message when I trigger the custom web-search binding to open a chrome-extension page.

 

Any help is sincerely appreciated. Note I have powerpack, so if there's another way to set this trigger, I'll all open for it.

 

Thanks,

Whiskeyjack

Welcome @whiskeyjack,

 

The solution is to instead make a Workflow. Connect a Keyword Input to a Open URL Action. On the Browser choice don’t leave it as Default Browser (even if Chrome is your default), but set it specifically to Chrome.
