Shortcuts for Chrome apps disappear upon logout/reboot #20

Closed finferflu closed 4 years ago

finferflu commented 4 years ago

Hi,

With Google Chrome, if you go to Settings > More Tools > Create shortcut, you can create a Chrome window that acts as its own app. I use this extensively, and it's great in combination with Thor. However, every time I log out or reboot, the shortcuts for these "apps" simply disappear. Please advise.

Thanks!

That's because the MAS version is constrained by the App Sandbox. Thor is not allow to access the folder where the Chrome Apps located after you log out or reboot. I recommend you to use the version in the release pages: https://github.com/gbammc/Thor/releases

Hope it helps and thanks for using Thor :)

@gbammc Could the issue only be addressed by downloading and installing from the release page manually? I tried to install through brew also not work 😢

For everyone having this issue - moving the app to /Applications fixes the issue for me, the shortcuts no longer disappear.
