Browsers seems to cause Arc to crash about browsers HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey, @jonnyborbs, thanks for reporting this issue.

It looks like a problem in Arc indeed, as there is also other software causing segmentation fault in Arc when specifying --profile-directory argument. It looks like I need to disable support for profiles in Arc (at least on macOS) until this is resolved.

Feel free to contact Arc developers, but I doubt they care about this feature too much, but who knows.

The command that can trigger it is
open -b company.thebrowser.Browser -n --args --profile-directory="Default" https://github.com

from browsers.

Hi there, sorry to revisit this issue but I was wondering if there'd been any progress on disabling profiles or advice on how I can make Arc accept a URL from Browsers? I tried removing the #Default profile parameter and it didn't help. I'm on the latest version of both Arc and Browsers as of writing this note, and it still crashes when I try to open a link.

Hey. Quickest workaround would be changing the repository/application-repository.toml and removing the first browser.

You can edit this file in /Applications/Browsers.app/Contents/Resources/repository/application-repository.toml. I will also remove it from release once I get some time.

[[apps]]
id = "company.thebrowser.Browser"
config_dir_relative = "Arc/User Data"
kind = "CHROMIUM"
os = "MAC"

Then it will show up without profile.

FYI I saw some chatter in https://www.reddit.com/r/ArcBrowser/comments/19bl4gy/support_choosing_profile_via_commandline_flag/ about it as well

Thanks, that worked well for Browsers. Now I'm trying to figure out how to update a few other apps that pass URLs to the browser in the same way. I sure wish Arc would do this in a standard format, even just running "../Arc $url" fails with the same crash on a command line. Not sure why they feel like it needs to be some complicated thing.

In Browsers version 0.5.2 Arc profile support has been removed. I will close this issue until there's any updates from Arc side.
