[FR / Question] Mixed used case on multiaccount single computer #164

Open JMVS opened 2 years ago

JMVS commented 2 years ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Have the possibility for every user in a single computer to use Edge or MSEdgeRedirect (I think is not currently possible / I couldn't make it work)

Scenario when this would be used?

Single computer with multiple users. Some wanting to keep using Edge and others wanting to redirect to another browser.

Supporting information

Coming from "Active mode". Uninstalled and switched to "Service mode" but currently it seems to enter in an endless loop and not launching in default browser. I can test and provide more info if needed.

Hi, I'll be adding a WebDriver based mode to handle reliability issues soon. I'll try to prioritize it for this weekend and hopefully have a release out.

Hi @rcmaehl. Were you able to make any progress with this? Any test you would like me to do? Thanks.

This feature will be released in the next version around end of June!

I need to push those changes from my computer. I'll try to do so later day. In HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Robert Maehl Software\MSEdgeRedirect add a REG_DWORD of PerUser with a value of 1. This will allow users to turn it off via MSEdgeRedirect Settings in the MSEdgeRedirect Folder.

In values in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Robert Maehl Software\MSEdgeRedirect or HKLM\SOFTWARE\Robert Maehl Software\MSEdgeRedirect will still override user settings but I don't believe you have any set.

Currently as of 0.7.5.0 users can now set Edge as the default browser while MSEdgeRedirect is installed. Some integrations may be broken, but MSEdgeRedirect will no longer complain. I'm still working on PerUser settings but I have to deal with some tech debt.
