osu-directer is a simple utility for Windows that you configure as your default browser, which will then directly download any osu beatmap links, for non-beatmap links it will launch the configured browser.
Big thanks to Joergen Tjernoe for making bichrome, the project that I forked to make my life easier.
osu-directer-win64.exe
from the latest release.%localappdata%\Programs
called osu-directer
and putting it there.osu-directer-win64.exe
once by double clicking it. This will register osu!directer
as a potential browser.osu!directer
as your default browser by opening "Default Apps" (You can open your start menu and just type "Default Apps") and clicking the icon under "Web browser", and picking osu!directer
.That's it!
The configuration file is named osu_directer.json
and is auto created in the same folder as the exe.
This is the default config:
{
"browser_path": "auto",
"custom_osu_path": "auto"
}
browser_path
when left to auto
will attempt to find firefox, chrome and msedge in that order.
When it is not auto
it will use that as the browser.
Make sure it is the absolute path to an exe.
custom_osu_path
if you did not install osu to a custom directory, just leave it empty or "auto".
An attempt to find the osu!.exe
on PATH is made, but by default osu is not on PATH, if it is not on PATH and not in the default install location, then you must specify the absolute path to the osu!.exe
osu_directer.json
is auto generated if it does not exist.
