Profile proxy app should identify itself as a browser

WizMeister

Workaround until this gets implemented:

Orion creates the proxy apps here:
~/Applications/Orion/Orion Profiles/

For each profile there is a folder with a UUID, and inside there is the proxy .app. In Velja, when setting up the rules, open the "Open In" dropdown and select "Other". Browse to the proper proxy .app and select it.

I have not used Choosy but I have also used Finicky in the past and I believe this can be achieved in a similar way with Finicky as well.

Hello!

Firstly - thank you for profiles feature, it's amazing. Secondly, not sure if this is something on your side or Velja, but it would be great if proffiles were supported there. There is a Velja support for Chrome Profiles , and something similiar would be much apprieciated.

(redacted for privacy reason, but many more profiles are listed down).

Thank you and keep up great work!

it may be that Velja needs to support orion's profiles, not the other way around. Of course, there needs to be better documentation on Orion's implementation of profiles for that to happen

Does this feature work? I was testing the default browser menu in System Preferences as well as testing via Velja and the profiles don't show up in either.

OK we would need further guiance as we are not using Velja an similar apps.

Please post steps, and confirm desired behavior with screenhots please.

+1, it is not working for me either. Desired behavior is that each profile proxy shows up as a browser option in the macOS System Preferences default browser dropdown menu.

This is velja:

and, they do work properly.

Since Orion now properly identifies profiles as apps, you could also remove it from the website:
https://sindresorhus.com/velja#orion
(Additionally, you could add some extra logic to assign these Orion profiles as profiles, rather than showing up as apps, by making a section for Profiles: Orion in the picker, like how Edge and Chrome have them)

eirk Is this fixed in RC or in beta?

Vlad seems to be fixed on both the RC and the beta

Hello!

I'm sorry to re-open a closed topic but I can't seem to make Velja (or Choosy) work with Orion profiles.

I'm on 0.99.135.0.1-beta and the way it's working is that when selecting an Orion profile, it seems Velja redirects me to the latest used profile.

I know it's not your scope, I just wanted to know if it's just me because I configured Orion in a bad way or it's something happening to everyone. I really miss this feature on my day-to-day.

Thanks for your help!
