I just use my new macbook, and when I run the workflow, there are some problems.

`

Starting debug for 'Google Chrome History'

and seems there is no folder Default/History in /Users/tzungtzu/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome

anyone could help me?

Do you have a non-default Chrome profile? The default path is ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default, but I left that configurable in case you use a different profile name.

Double-click the Script Filter in the Workflow, then change the PROFILE="~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default" to point to your Chrome profile, e.g. PROFILE="PROFILE="~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/MyProfile".

I had this issue, you need to do the following in a Terminal to find the correct path:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome

Then look for a directory starting with Profile. It should have a number following it.

Or you can do a search:

ls ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/ | grep Profile

If you log into Chrome and sync your Chrome settings then it creates a directory named Profile 1 or Profile 2 etc.

When you know what the path is, just update it in the setting in the screenshot above by double-clicking the 'ch' script filter.

Great workflow btw @tupton

I wish there was a way to dynamically get this profile directory. For me, it's called Default, but it looks like it's easy to create a different one called Profile 1 or anything really.

I updated the readme to attempt to clarify this and add more detail. I hope it helps others who come across this issue.
