Hi guys,
there is a feature that will do that, in a way. You can add a list of
domains to each browser in the options and those will then open
automatically in that browser. For example, I have "microsoft.com" in the
"URLs" field under the options for my IE entry.

How about storing a list of preferred browser for various frequently-used domains, so that those always open immediately in their preferred browser? In terms of Sam Hasler's suggestion, you could allow the user to specify a preferred browser, and open any link in that browser after a timeout expires.

Definitely png is preferred. The default icon size I've been using is 75x80,
I believe.

Neat app! Thanks! Now a question, what is the default icon size for the browsers and should it be .png or maybe .jpg? Asking since i am trying to ad an icon in the custom section for Comodo dragon! thanks again!

Not a problem. The next version will support XP default browser setting.
I've already got it working, just need to tidy up and improve the visual
look under XP a bit. Kinda ugly all black like that.

All you really need to do is to install Browser Chooser, launch it,
configure the options (less the default browser button, since it doesn't
work in XP) and then set it as the default browser using the "set default
browser" application linked to in those instructions.

Re: Browser Chooser

Nelson — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 23:00:22 -0000

I tried that link and followed the instructions as best I could (could not find the config.ini file) and configured Browser Chooser as instructed. No luck so far (maybe I'm missing something?)... I'll try again in the morning.
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

Hi Nelson, try the steps outlined here to set it as the default browser in
XP: http://browserchooser.codeplex...

HI there! Neat idea, but doesn't seem to play well with XP. I know it was made for Vista and Win 7, but I thought I'd give it a whirl on XP anyway. Not a happy program, I'm sorry to report. Wonder if it could be made to work so that if one right clicked on a link, a choice of browsers would appear? Cool application: wish I could get it to work for me...

OK I was able to force an icon refresh by running "Default Programs" from the start menu and picking "Set your default programs" and then "Browser Chooser" and finally clicking on "Set this program as default".

So yeah it does do it but seems Vista does not always refresh its icon cache correctly. Perhaps you could find a way to force an icon cache refresh when the user decides to set it as default using the option to do just that in the app. Just a thought, so others users don't see this. This bug in windows is back from win95 sadly..

Really? On my system it turns them into the browser chooser icon. Could you
file this as an issue on the codeplex site and we'll have a look at it for a
future release.

Hi,

Nice app, though some default icons for web file types would be nice?

For example icons for .htm and .html files.

Running Vista SP2. The icons are just a blank white icon. Ugly.

Thanks,

Will

Yes you were right. I've fixed the command line switches now and it'll be
fixed in the next release, which should be fairly soon.
