Hello,

I've been using Brackets for two days and I've faced a minor problem with appearance but not functionality.

It was when I checked my list of apps on my mac that I noticed that I have four new apps that are google/chrome related and are all labeled "youtube (person 1)", "gmail (person 1), or "* (person 1)". That wasn't annoying but the fact that they were not functional was. In addition, they were extras for my own "*" ie youtube, gmail apps were there too.

The problem seems to be caused by the bata that allows to run websites on chrome for testing.

I'm not an experienced programmer, and I've just started using git hub.

Help is greatly appreciated.

brackets does not sideload any other applications. Could you specify how brackets is related to this issue?

I'm quite sure it does load chrome on Macintosh systems when you press the "live preview" button, that looks like little lightening icon. In addition, brackets does it in a weird way, such that it loads a different chrome. One without your personal data.

Please ask I really want to help.

Brackets does not install chrome, it just uses an already installed chrome install maybe under a different profile.@nethip will that cause this problem?

That's correct. We don't go about changing any apps. For live preview we just use existing instance of Chrome.

Person 1 is the name of the default profile of Chrome (when you are not signed in). (At least the non-experimental) LivePreview launches with -user-data-dir as live-dev-profile which doesn't exist -> default. (see appshell/appshell_extensions_gtk/mac/win)

If you pin an Google Chrome App (Youtube, Google Drive, Gmail...) to your taskbar when using that instance of Chrome, it will always use the said profile they were pinned from, which leads to the situation@ialsaud has.

edit: I have edited this post multiple times to correct many things, sorry for the outdated email you might have received

--disable-default-apps flag should prevent this behavior

--disable-default-apps : Disables installation of default apps on first run. This is used during automated testing. (from http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/)
