Does the User Scripts directory still work with Chrome 13.0?
google-chrome, google-chrome-extension, userscripts
Solution
From Brock Adams' comment, this question is a duplicate of Manually adding a Userscript to Google Chrome and is well answered there.
The flag --enable-user-scripts does not seem to be supported in recent versions of Chrome. This seems to be confirmed by this List of Chromium Command Line Switches.
Confusingly there is a (vestigial?) switch --user-scripts-dir.
Problem
I am using Mac OS X with Google Chrome 13.0.782.107. I'm trying to set up User Scripts as per these instructions. I have created a directory: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/User Scripts/ I created a file in that directory: hello.user.js ``` (function() { // ==UserScript== // @name Hello, World // @namespace http://localhost.localdomain // @version 0.0.0 // // @include http://*/* // ==/UserScript== alert('Hello, World!'); })(); ``` I created the following AppleScript to start Chrome ``` do shell script "/Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\\ Chrome --enable-user-scripts" ``` However, the script is ignored. If I drag and drop the file into Chrome and install it as an extension, it works fine. Is this feature no longer supported?
