ChromiumExtras Script
Posted in Programming on January 2nd, 2010 by Ryan – 1 CommentSo, this is a rather lame script but I thought I would share it with Mac users who like the latest Chromium builds. I am not sure if there is a better way to do this or not, but I love the ability to start Chromium with pinned tabs. To accomplish the task, I created a dummy executable that just opens Chromium with some extra arguments. The problem was, every time I updated Chromium, it killed my nice little script because it lived in the Chromium.app folder.
The Solutions… I wrote this small script that asks how many tabs you want to start pinned and also if you would like to enable GreaseMonkey Scripts. The only grease monkey script I tested is one that puts the unread count of Google Reader messages into the favicon (perfect for the pinned tab scenario.)
Give it a download -> ChromiumExtras
Anyways, feel free to use this script. It is real basic, but does the job. Any questions or comments are welcome. Let me know if you have other tricks you like to use with Chromium as well, or if you would like more options or whatever I can see what I can do to help out!
Enjoy!
