Chrome portable does not open URL in a new tab, instead only in a new window !?

[PiZole]

Hello
I am using chrome as a portable app.
When i use the URL override funktion allways a new window of chrom will be opend, instead of a new tab in the already running chrome browser.
How can i change it ?

You need to specify a new URL override that opens a new tab in Chrome.
The override is in the form: cmd://pathto\chrome.exe --new-window {BASE}

1. Tools > Options > Integration.
2. Click the URL Overrides button, bottom right.
3. Add an override. Scheme = http
4. Add an override. Scheme = https

URLs should now open in a new tab.

So i tried it as you wrote.
It works but NOT in a new tab. Only in a new window of a new chrome instance.
That is what doesn´t work !

And in the new window my plugins and bookmarks are nor implemented.

As i told i use a portabe app version of chrome and have no other version installed on my pc.

I suggest you visit the Chrome forum to find out how to open a new tab in the existing Chrome from the command line.

I guess the issue is that the "wrapper" executable GoogleChromePortable.exe doesn't have those command line options :-) And it is not a good idea to run chrome.exe directly (or else you'd lose the "portability")

If you are desparate you could try https://keeform.org/keepass/keeform-for-chrome. KeeForm starts Google Chrome portable with new tabs instead of a new window.

After the KeeForm installation you just have to set the path to your portable binary (KeePass/KeeForm are not able to set it automatically since the portable version is not listed in the registry)

Navigate to KeePass Menu Tools -> Options -> Tab Integration -> Button UrlOverrides then change the sub-string

{GOOGLECHROME} "{URL}"

to

"c:\PortableApps\GoogleChromePortable\GoogleChromePortable.exe" "{URL}"

Thanks a lot.
This is the solutution of the problem.

I changed the path to googlechromeportable.exe and it starts in a tab of the existing instance of chrome.

:-D
