Open in Chromium

[raffael]

Great extension! Is there a way to open Chromium instead?

Yes, but you have to modify the code a bit. Start Script Editor (/Applications/Utilities/Script Editor.app) and use File > Open... to open the ChromeHelper application that comes with the extension. In the script, Chrome is identified by the line:

tell application id "com.google.Chrome"

Change that to the line below, save (File > Save), and you should see the extension open Chromium instead.

tell application id "org.chromium.Chromium"

Thanks a lot for your help, the problem I have is that the script that comes with the extension seems to be compiled. I'm unable to open both ChromeHelper.scpt and ChromeHelper using Apple Script Editor. Am I missing here something?

What error message are you getting? I tried both files in Script Editor on OS X 10.10.1 and didn't have any problems; maybe it's a compatibility issue?

I've just added a plain text version of the script to the repo, which I'm sure you'll be able to open. Either download the script file or just re-download the entire ZIP. Make the above change in Script Editor, then save it as an application (hold down the Option key, and select File > Save As..., then select File Format: Application in the Save As... dialog). Make sure you replace/overwrite the original ChromeHelper.app that came in the ZIP.

Sorry for the hassle.

Awesome, many thanks for the source code, and the help! :)

Leaving this open so others can use w/ Chromium.
