Fluid: Fluid links open using Fluid browser instead of my default browser (Chrome)

I have created a couple of Fluid Apps to run Google Calendar and Gmail. These work fine except that web links launched from them also launch in Fluid itself, rather than in my default browser, which is Chrome. This is a problem as a lot of the G-Suite stuff doesn't work well in the fluid browser (e.g. google doc links give javascript errors). How can I get my Fluid gmail app to open links in the system default browser rather than in the Fluid browser?

I spilt a cup of tea over my MacBook (MB) pro (gutted) and it promptly stopped working, wouldn't turn on and the fan wasn't turning over (I have done this before with wine). So I have received my new MB and I thought I'd try turning on the old one as I'm halfway through my Masters dissertation, so thought I would see if there was anyway of getting the information from the old MB onto the new one. So it has turned on but my tracking pad is not working. The pointer appears to be stuck in the top left hand corner. I've tried to do S+Command+? so the top bar highlights and managed to close down the programs. However what I need is a way to get into migration assistant to move the information onto my new MB. I appreciate the old MB is knackered and the insurance are coming to collect it this week. Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to click the migration assistant option?

I would like to use fluidapp.com to make a webapp for me to auto-login to uptodate.com. I've used (and still use) fluidapp for my email and other websites and it saves my password so I don't have to login everytime. However for uptodate.com, it asks me for my password each time I quit and reopen the app (despite checking the remember me box). It does remember my username but it does not save my password. I tried the code for userscripts mentioned in this link but it does not seem to work. Here is the code I'm using (I used my username and password where indicated below): // ==UserScript== // @name auto-login // @namespace http://fluidapp.com // @description Auto-login for Uptodate, username/password stored in userscript :-/ // @include *.uptodate.com/* // @author // ==/UserScript== (function () { if (window.fluid) { var location = window.location.toString(); if(location.indexOf("login") > -1){ var username = document.getElementById("username"); if (username == undefined) return; var password = document.getElementById("password"); if (password == undefined) return; username.value = "myUsername"; password.value = "myPassword"; var flash = document.getElementById("Flash"); if(flash != undefined){ fHTML = flash.innerHTML; if(fHTML.indexOf("invalid") > -1) return; }; document.forms.submit(); } } })(); I hope this helps! Thanks so much for all your help!

I can't seem to make the notifications in fluid app work. The checkbox Allow sites to display notifications is checked. I also tried to check if it worked via userscript but had no luck with that either. window.fluid.showUserNotification({ title: "title", subtitle:"subtitle", description: "informText", sound: "Basso", onclick: function() { alert(1); } }); I also tried to paste that directly into the console that too didn't work. I'm using MacOS High Sierra. I'm also sure that the notifications don't work on MacOS Sierra as well. Is it just me? Or do the notifications not work in FluidApp for "newer" MacOS versions?

Up to today using Trello with Fluid was the best thing of my day! Super awesome match between the two apps. The most best part was that when I scale the fluid window to be narrow all Trello lists lined up vertically one below another, which is so much better when you are working on one swim lane at a time. This way I can focus only on the cards inside a particular line. Very very helpful! Trello is great to give you the big picture (the board) and lets you narrow down your focus to the small piece (the card), but it's lacking a middle ground (focus on a list). This is where Fluid brought Trello to a whole other level. Since today this is no longer an option. Even when I make the Fluid window to has the smallest width the Trello board still scrolls left right up down all over the place... Is there a way to get this back? I tried everything, clearing my Safari cache, restarting my computer, etc. I would be very grateful to anyone who can help me fix this bug.

How to use the cmd+w shortcut without closing a Fluid app?

Fluid app doesn't save cookies

I've got several Fluid apps for Amazon Web Services consoles (on different accounts). The aws console saves UI preferences between sessions (e.g., which columns in a display do I want to see). I believe but am not 100% sure that this is stored in a cookie. When I use firefox, this preference is saved between browser sessions. In the fluid app, it is not. I found the directory ~/Library/Application Support/Fluid/FluidApps/AWS-DEV Console. It has a cookies directory, which is empty. Other things are being successfully saved in this directory (Bookmarks, DownloadArchive, webhistory). At some point I discovered that Fluid was being sandboxed (I think; when I ran fluid apps i got a separate mounted pseudo-filesystem). The fluid apps had the finder attribute com.apple.quarantine set. I removed that with xattr and I no longer am in the sandbox. No effect on the cookies. Fluid Version 1.8.6 (2331). I have purchased a license key, which is installed. MacOS version 10.13.1 (17B48). Is this a bug, or am I doing something silly? ------ edit: It appears that the preference is saved in HTML5 local storage, not in a traditional cookie. I'm guessing fluid apps don't implement this.

It seems like it should be simple, but I'm at a loss. EDIT: I just figured out that I can turn on "show toolbar", which will add a url bar, but is there a quicker way? I don't really want it on most of the time and enabling it is a lot more annoying than a cntrl-c.

I use Fluid to separate my Jupyter notebook into a separate app instead of a browser tab, which makes navigating between the browser and the app easier. This used to work perfectly, until (it seems) the last update of Fluid (current version is 1.8.5 (184)). When I open the app, which has its home page set to http://localhost:8888/tree, a Google search page shows up for that URL, instead of the URL itself. Fluid app when opened: Fluid When I open the same URL in Safari, it shows the page perfectly: Safari From that I think I can conclude it's not an access issue. Here's how the app was created: Creation And here are the general preferences of the resulting app: Fluid general preferences What I've tried so far: - Deleting the app and creating a new one (once with the same name and again with a different name) - Replacing localhost in the URL with 127.0.0.1 Version info: - OSX 10.11.4 - Fluid 1.8.5 (184) ## Update I tried once more creating a new app with the IP address instead of the localhost hostname, and it worked. One other thing I noticed is that with the original URL, this appeared in the web server's log: [W 18:00:05.094 NotebookApp] 404 GET /tree.com (::1) 5.26ms referer=None It seems that Fluid is appending .com to the URL, which doesn't resolve and which might have triggered the fallback to Google Search.

The site opens fine in my firefox web browser (my default browser) so I don't think it's a browser problem.

I've been trying to hide the toolbar from a Fluid app application using applescript, but it doesn't seems to be working at all. I've also tried on Safari (fluid apps are built on top of safari web engine). I'm able to "click" on every menu item, but not on that one. The script seems to be finding the menu item there, as I tried to run another piece of code inside that conditional in specific. So this is what i've been doing: tell application "System Events" tell process "Test App" if menu item "Hide Status Bar" of menu "View" of menu bar 1 exists then click menu item "Hide Status Bar" of menu "View" of menu bar 1 end if if menu item "Hide Bookmark Bar" of menu "View" of menu bar 1 exists then click menu item "Hide Bookmark Bar" of menu "View" of menu bar 1 end if if menu item "Hide Tab Bar" of menu "View" of menu bar 1 exists then click menu item "Hide Tab Bar" of menu "View" of menu bar 1 end if if menu item "Hide Toolbar" of menu "View" of menu bar 1 exists then click menu item "Hide Toolbar" of menu "View" of menu bar 1 end if end tell end tell I'm not quite experienced on AppleScript by the way, so if I'm doing something wrong, please, correct me =] Thanks in advance.

When I launch WhatsApp Web in Safari e is a IDBFactory, but it looks like the IndexedDB API isn't available in a Fluid app (there e is null). You have to set either Firefox, Chrome or Safari as user agent to get to the loading screen. I tried playing around with the settings, but nothing seems to help. I wrote a mail to the FluidApp support, but no answer so far. Does anyone have advice?
