![]() ![]() I also tried running "obconf" from the command line - there doesn't seem to be anything in there for this either. ![]() BTW, it would be nice if there was an undo (or a "Don't really do this until I click OK" thing - I don't see any way to get back what I removed - not that it really matters I don't use Chromium anymore ). I also tried deleting something that was there - on the theory that maybe there was a maximum of 5 things - but still Add is greyed out. It’s been around for nearly 20 years so it’s super mature. Pros: The original old-school launcher app for Mac. It’s free and open source, and gives you a lot of customisability. For me, it basically defined the category for a lot of years. Also, there doesn't seem to be any way to edit the things that are already there. Quicksilver is the oldest, most mature app launcher app on the Mac. In the 'On Startup' settings, select 'Open a specific page or pages' using the radio button, then click 'Add a new page.' In the dialog that appears, type in (or paste. I'd like to add something to this, but when I go into the Add/Remove Panel items thing (aka, Panel Preferences), then go to "Application Launch Bar" Preferences, the Add button is there, but greyed out (?). First, open 'Chrome.' Click the three vertical dots button in the upper-right corner of the window, then select 'Settings.' In 'Settings,' navigate to the 'On Startup' section. Currently, there are 5 things here: a globe (which launches Chromium), file folders (that launches the File Manager), a terminal icon, and two things for Mathematica/Wolfram. I had every intention of killing Chrome’s Flash plugin the same way I do Safari’s, but I just couldn’t figure out a way to use Shockwave Flash (Chrome Plug-In Host) (i.e., its Process Name as reported by Activity Monitor), which is why I had to resort to the slightly(!) less elegant commands you see above.Īs ever, if you’ve any questions or tips on how to make this faster, smaller, etc., please let me know.I'm talking about the area on the task bar at the top of the screen that is just to the right of the Raspberry icon. (No, I don’t usually run both browsers at once, but by coding it this way I have to remember just one command - kf - irrespective of which browser I’m currently using.) ![]() If neither browser is the frontmost app, then the script effectively does nothing. Here’s my updated AppleScript: tell application System Events to set webBrowser to name of first processĭo shell script killall -9 WebKitPluginHostĭo shell script ps ux | grep -E 'lash Player Pluginįor Chrome' | awk '' | xargs killīecause it’s very likely you’ll invoke the script while cursing at your unresponsive browser, the script simply checks to see which is the frontmost app, and if the frontmost app is either browser, then it kills that browser’s Flash plugin. (In either case, the plugin is restarted automatically whenever you (re)load a page with Flash.) Since making those comments I’ve grown the idea a bit and now my kf LaunchBar action checks to see which browser - Safari or Chrome - is having trouble with Flash, and kills the appropriate plugin. Actually, you maybe could use my linked-to solution together with TextExpander (i.e., have kf expand to killall -9 WebKitPluginHost). I normally would refer to my Use LaunchBar to execute, in the background, commands via a shell piece, and tell you to alias killall -9 WebKitPluginHost to kf, but do shell script uses the Bourne shell, which doesn’t recognize aliases. You guys aren’t already doing this? I actually take it a step further and use a LaunchBar action (that I named kf) to kill the plugin with just a few keystrokes (i.e., I saved do shell script killall -9 WebKitPluginHost to kf.scpt in LaunchBar’s Actions folder). A few weeks ago I linked to a Macworld article that described how to restart Safari’s Flash plugin without quitting the browser, and said the following: ![]()
