Use Apple Script to open Chrome browser profiles without opening a new window every time.

Welcome @TRU, and thank you for the submission.

 

The workflow is using Workflow Environment Variables instead of User Configuration. I can send a fix for that, but it’s also missing screenshots as per the pinned post. Are you able to provide those?

Can you make modify it to send tabs to new profile? Kind of like Vitor's incognito clone.

@benlim Please don’t use ongoing submission threads for future requests, as that makes it harder to determine what’s missing.

 

Instead, use the Workflow’s own thread or the GitHub tracker.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

 

I have added the screenshot. Thanks for your wonderful PR.

@TRU I have this almost ready to go in, but noticed that since my PR you have added OneUpdater. Gallery workflows are updatable from within Alfred itself, and as part of that a prerequisite for inclusion is that workflows not auto-update themselves. This is to avoid a confusing interaction of crossed updates and for security reasons, as Gallery workflows go through a number of checks. In other words, OneUpdater has to be removed.

Unrelated, since Alfred 5 includes the Homebrew installation paths and users can install dependencies directly from the Preferences, the TOOLS_PATH config should also be removed. In the off chance a user really needs a custom PATH, they can add it via the Workflow Environment Variables.

I was going to also submit a PR for these changes, but I stopped because I want to ask what’s the jq branch of the Conditional is for. Does it serve a purpose or is it forgotten from a previous version? Also, I noticed the workflow’s name is set as Switch Chrome Profiles fzf. The fzf does not seem intentional.
