Browser Bunch 1.4.2.1 beta
MilesAhead:
I made a change to BrowserBunch so that if the first param on the command line is not a switch and does not end in ".txt" then it treats it as a single url.
The reason for this is to make it easy to use it with a hotkey. My usage of this feature is for launching a different browser to the url in the addressbar of the browser currently open.
Say I just installed a FF AddOn and I want to install the chrome version in chrome. I added this hotkey to Transpose(my general purpose hotkey script) It sends contol c to copy the selected url to clipboard, then Runs BrowserBunch with the url as param. You can make your own variation.
--- ---; send selected Url to Browser Bunch
#IfWinActive ahk_Group BrowserGroup
#F4::
ClipSave := Clipboard
Clipboard := ""
Send, ^c
ClipWait,2
Run C:\Utils\BrowserBunch\BrowserBunch.exe %Clipboard%
Clipboard := ClipSave
;MsgBox % Clipboard
return
I'm posting the BrowserBunch.exe here for those who wish to try out the feature.
Edit: The next change will be to bypass the filter InputBox for single url launch. In fact I may add an .ini file option to disable it. That would save a click. I find I rarely use it anyway. :)

Note that BrowserBunch.zip download has been pulled from my download page
If you still see it there hit the refresh key. It should disappear. :)
It seems there is no easy fix such as recompiling the source with the latest version of AutoIt3.
I tried it and it still shows 2 red flags on VirusTotal. Since these av scanners keep coming out of the woodwork and generally have a cumbersome process to register a program as having false positives, it is not worth the hassle to go through that for 50, 60, 70 ad infinitum scanners, it amounts to "if someone complains I have to pull it." There are other downloads with red flags. So I expect the number of downloads to dwindle soon.
For those who want to stockpile the zip files on my page, now is a good time to use DownLoadThemAll. :)
In this particular case I found I wasn't using BB myself anymore anyway. :)
