New features

• Separated setting to use Choosy as the default browser and to use Choosy as the default app to open HTML files.
• Create rules that are triggered by any combination of the following conditions:
  • URLs that contain a certain word or match a regular expression.
  • Modifier keys that are pressed when the link was opened.
  • The source application the link request came from.
  • The number of browsers that were running when the link was clicked.
  • Whether you are opening a link to a website or an HTML file in the Finder on your Mac.
• As well as the familiar behaviours (prompt to select from running browsers, use best running browser etc.) the new rules can:
  • Display a custom prompt containing any selection of applications on your Mac, even applications that aren't in Choosy's browser list
  • Always use the same browser, great for use with applications like Fluid
• Improved the menu bar icon to be much clearer and more in-keeping with the standard OS X icons.

Bug fixes

• Various circular menu bug fixes:
  • The mouse will now be correctly placed in the centre of the circle when a link is clicked regardless of icon size and display browser names or URL settings.
  • The top of the menu is no longer cut off when using the display browser names or URL settings.
  • Your favourite browser's button extends to the middle of the menu. The shape of this extension is much smoother.
• When links are sent to Choosy while a browser prompt is already open, these links are queued and dealt with after the current prompt has been dismissed rather than instantly replacing the open prompt.
• Opening browsers from the Choosy menu bar icon will no longer fail when the clipboard is empty.
• Choosy will now correctly appear in the Finder's “Open With” menu for HTML files, even if it's not set up as the default browser.
