alfred-chrome - Open URL in Google Chrome (also with specific profile)

[ShogunPanda]

Unfortunately no. I tried to keep this simple without configuration files and similar.

 

About the profile name, it uses whatever you see in Chrome. So if you rename it there, you should see in Alfred as well.

Any way to default open with incognito?

 

This package http://www.packal.org/workflow/chrome-incognito only opens in Incognito mode.

Is there any plan to update this tool to work with Alfred 4?

Nice workflow I use for months now. 

But .. MacOS BigSur has come and now, it does not work anymore. 

 

I've tried to chmod +x on linked file, but nothing changes..

Hi, @Damien Cuvillier

I'm also running macOS Big Sur.

I tried the following steps to reproduce the issue but it worked fine: 

1. Removed the Chrome Incognito workflow
2. Downloaded it from this Packal link 
3. Installed it by clicking on the downloaded file
4. Triggered the workflow using Alfred

It worked afterwards. Could you try this as well?

Hello 

 

Incognito works well

But I thought that this topic was about chrome with multiple profiles. Alfred Chrome

Do you know anything on that ?

[Eugenio]

Hi!

I've the very same issue that Damien Q reported.

Any news or workaround on how to manage that?

Thx

For those who absolutely must to have some shortcuts to open different Chrome profiles but can't use this Workflow extension, here is a little something that is very minimal but helps me navigate through my profile.

You can create your own Alfred workflow, that triggers by an input with arguments.

Link this trigger to a "Run Script Action" object.

Configure the Script Action with the following snippet:

query=$1
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --args --profile-directory="Profile $query"

This will take your first argument of the commend and append it to the "Profile " word.

 

Now, I have list of profiles in my chrome that I would like to open. I simply associate them with numbers in my head (I don't have that much).

To help you find the number of the profile, or as a matter of fact, an actual identifier of the profile in case you have something different that just Profile #number

Open your Chrome profile, type in search bar "chrome://version" 

You will find the profile name and its path by:

Profile Path    /Users/<YOUR USER NAME HERE>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 1

 

So this number at the end is what I swap out when switching between profiles.

Simple, quick hustle 

 

This by no means a production ready workflow, but for those who couldn't even try out the current workflow due to the error above and need some solutions.

 

This what it looks like for me in the end

CHROME:

And SCRIPT:

Hi all, long time user of this workflow but now migrated onto a new machine and having some issues.

 

 

I seem to be entirely unable to have Alfred 'know' the names of the profiles. 

 

Debugger is even showing:

{
      "uid": "chrome-d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e-24a271a69727c7e59123222dccdaa0e5",
      "title": "Open new window using profile Person 2",
      "subtitle": "Open a new window in Google Chrome using profile Person 2",
      "arg": "\"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome\"  --profile-directory=\"Profile 4\"",
      "mods": {
        "alt": {
          "subtitle": "Open a new window in Google Chrome using profile Person 2 (in incognito)",
          "arg": "\"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome\"  --profile-directory=\"Profile 4\" --incognito",
          "mods": {}
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "uid": "chrome-d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e-a3dbc3a44187d39b68c925680a1149f2",
      "title": "Open new window using profile Person 2",
      "subtitle": "Open a new window in Google Chrome using profile Person 2",
      "arg": "\"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome\"  --profile-directory=\"Profile 5\"",
      "mods": {
        "alt": {
          "subtitle": "Open a new window in Google Chrome using profile Person 2 (in incognito)",
          "arg": "\"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome\"  --profile-directory=\"Profile 5\" --incognito",
          "mods": {}
        }

 

You can see, the profiles are all listed as "Person 2", even though it's pointing to `--profile-directory=\"Profile 4\"`

 

Any ideas would be amazing!
