gradedcatfood Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hello everyone! I wanted to attempt to create a workflow that does the following: Open a specific Google Chrome profile, wether or not google chrome is already open or not. I have tried this just in a bash script and never got the results I wanted..... This is what I was working off of: open -a Google\ Chrome --args --"profile-directory"="Profile 1 also tried /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --args --profile-directory=Default This is where i posted my original question: http://superuser.com/questions/759535/open-google-chrome-specific-profile-from-command-line-mac/759644#759644 So has anyone done this before, or have any ideas on how to create this into an alfred workflow? Thank you! Link to comment

fabiorcosta Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) What should it be changed to the following behavior: Choose the chrome profile windows and open a new tab on it instead of new window? Edited March 17, 2019 by fabiorcosta Link to comment
Corey Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I found a workaround for global 12keyboard shortcuts, combining a number of tricks I found online. 1. Give each profile a unique name, so they appear differently in the People menu (screenshot https://prnt.sc/qrasm0 ) 2. Add an app keyboard shortcut for each profile in System Preferences (screenshot https://prnt.sc/qrasyp ). These only work if you're already focused on a Chrome window, so... 3. Add an Alfred workflow to use a different key combo to launch Chrome and then Dispatch the Key Combos you set in System Preferences (Under Outputs) (screenshot https://prnt.sc/qratzw ) E.g. Option + Shift + 1 triggers the first workflow. The workflow launches Chrome, and then triggers the App keyboard shortcut to switch to the profile called Corey.

The Nomad Brad Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 @Corey - THANK YOU for giving these notes - wow, I have been trying to find a solution to switching profiles for so long! Man, I wish this was better documented out there. Thanks again, you're a life saver! 👏 Link to comment
hey_fletch Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Tweaking @Corey's, here's how to launch the profile with an Alfred keyword. I really appreciate Corey's text + screenshot instructions, and that the screenshot links still work after 2 years. Nijessi 1 Link to comment
