However, sooner or later, Chrome rereads its icon file and gets the one corresponding to whichever of the two apps was started last, resulting in two running applications with the same icon. The first line is an unsuccessful attempt to give the two applications distinct icons. The second line starts Chrome with the alternate profile (the -user-data-dir parameter). Here is the one for altChrome: do shell script "cd /Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/Resources/ rm app.icns ln /Users/garbuck/local/chromeLaunchers/Chrome-swirl.icns app.icns"ĭo shell script "/Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\\ Chrome -user-data-dir=/Users/garbuck/altChrome >/dev/null 2>&1 &" Apple Spotlight and Preview (OS X 10.8.5) and Adobe. What I ended up with was two AppleScript applications containing two commands each. See the WINDOWS UNICODE FILE NAMES section of the application documentation for details. This is quick and simple, and likely the most traditional method of renaming on the Mac. Just click on the icon of the file/folder from the OS X Finder, and then hit the return key, then type in the new name. But that's ugly and complicates updating. Method 1: Rename a file or folder by selecting it and hitting the ‘return’ key.

Windows Server 2003 64-Bit Edition, Mac OS X Get Chrome for Windows. I suppose the brute-force way to accomplish the above goal would be to make two copies of the Google Chrome application bundle under the respective names. On the Processes tab, take a look under the Name column. In other words, I needed two regular Mac applications, regChrome for normal browsing and altChrome to use the special profile, to be easily started by keying ⌘-space to bring up Spotlight, then 'reg' or 'alt', then Enter.
I wanted to be able to start them from Spotlight, as is my habit for starting Mac apps. I wanted to have two separate instances of Chrome running, each using its own profile.
