  • Orion creates mutiple identical applicatons/windows when triggered from the macOS command line tool “open”

  • BugsDesktopPlanned

I decided to switch from Firefox to Orion today. I saved all my open tabs (196) to a bookmark folder in Firefox, right-click on the folder -> copy, paste urls into a file tabs.txt, and run
cat tabs.html | while read -r URL; do open "$URL"; sleep 5; done
I afk for a bit and come back to my laptop barely responsive and NINE identical Orion applications/windows open each with 177 of the same tabs. I thought I had a screenshot of Mission Control of all 9 but no; I got this photo instead after closing 8 of the 9 windows but not the applications.

The application (which was already running before I ran the script) should only be open once and aside from that, only one instance of the application should act on the trigger from open. The second problem could probably be solved by addressing the first.

NOTE: I'm not sure about the MacOS version or Orion OS version Asked the user in the original thread

Mojave (10.14)

    I tried to reproduce with this command:

    for n in {0..3}; do open "https://google.com/${n}";done

    But all I get is the Orion Preview opening the first URL. After adding a sleep to it, it will open the first URL and close a second later to never come back again.

    Out of curiosity: Can you test without the sleep and a smaller number of URLs, and see how it goes?
