Initialize the source of helm-chrome?

[ReneFroger]

Hi Kawabata,

Thanks for sharing this package! It's really appreciated. However, I would like to add the source of helm-chrome to my list of helm-for-files in order to do this, I added helm-chrome-source to helm-for-files-preferred-list:

(setq helm-for-files-preferred-list '(helm-source-buffers-list
                                      helm-source-projectile-files-list
                                      helm-source-recentf
                                      helm-source-files-in-current-dir
                                      helm-source-bookmarks
                                      helm-source-projectile-projects 
                                      helm-source-locate
                                      helm-chrome-source
                                      )))

When I call M-x helm-chrome-bookmarks, closing it and then call helm-for-files, I see the list of my Chrome bookmarks is added in helm-for-files.

But when I restart Emacs, and then call helm-for-files, I cannot open it because the source helm-chrome-source is unknown for Helm. I can only solve this when I manually call helm-chrome-bookmarks. After that, I'm able to open helm-for-files again. So I suspect the source of helm-chrome-bookmarks is being autoloaded, as it seems in your code But my Lisp knowledge is not sufficient enough.

So do you have some suggestion in order to solve the initialization issue? Thanks in advance for your reply.

As far as I know, the best way to realize it is to use 'with-eval-after-load'.

As 'helm-for-files-preferred-list' is defined in 'helm-files',

(with-eval-after-load 'helm-files
  (require 'helm-chrome)
  (setq helm-for-files-preferred-list ...))

would be sufficient. If you are using `use-package' macro, then,

(use-package helm-chrome :defer t
  :init
  (with-eval-after-load 'helm-files...
  (set-variable 'helm-for-files-preferred-list
                       .....)))

might be O.K., too. (In that case, init part will not be executed at init time if helm-chrome is not installed.)

Regards,
