tvacula Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 What am I doing wrong that Alfred opens a new window in Safari, instead of a new tab? I run fullscreen, which means closing the new window and tabbing back to Safari to get it to reappear. This just started, so I'm sure I don't have something set correctly. Sorry, I tried to search, but "url" and "tab" are too short to use as a search term in the forums, and I believe I scanned every topic title in the forums before posting. Thank you.

This is a Safari preference, so open Safari's preferences to Tabs and change it to Open pages in tabs instead of windows "Automatically" or "Always" - though always means pop-ups open in another tab, which is pretty annoying so Automatically tends to be best!

tvacula Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thank you, Vero. Sorry to have wasted your time, but interestingly, that is the way I've had my Safari preferences set for a long time. It was coincidental that my implementation of the V2 full release and Alfred url requests opened in new windows. I quit and reopened Safari, and it reverted back to my expected behavior. I would say "weird," but that's Safari, after all... Thank you for your time, and this great new version of Alfred. Link to comment
mccamel Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I find that my Google searches from Alfred open in new Safari windows instead of tabs if I have directly edited the address bar of the currently open Safari Window. I have "Open Pages Instead of Tabs" set to "always". Is Alfred intended to function this way? Thanks! Link to comment
Lauri Ranta Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It's a feature or bug in Safari: if you have edited the text on the location bar, pages opened from other applications are opened in a new window. xilopaint 1 Link to comment
mccamel Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hmm... thanks Lauri. Anyway around this that you know of? Link to comment
jdfwarrior Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hmm... thanks Lauri. Anyway around this that you know of? You can tell Safari to always open a new tab in the Safari prefs Link to comment
Lauri Ranta Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It happens even if that option is selected: - Select Preferences > Tabs > Open pages in tabs instead of windows > Always - Open some page in Safari and type something on the location bar - Run open http://example.com Link to comment
