We ran a hint last month about opening the current Safari page in Chrome, but Padraic Renaghan came up with a nice AppleScript that he uses to open the page in Chrome via a LaunchBar action.
property theURL : ""
tell application "Safari"
set theURL to URL of current tab of window 1
end tell
if appIsRunning("Google Chrome") then
tell application "Google Chrome"
if (count of (every window where visible is true)) is greater than 0 then
-- running with a visible window, ready for new tab
else
-- running but no visible window, so create one
make new window
end if
end tell
else
tell application "Google Chrome"
-- chrome app not running, so start it
do shell script "open -a \"Google Chrome\""
end tell
end if
-- now that we have made sure chrome is running and has a visible
-- window create a new tab in that window
-- and activate it to bring to the front
tell application "Google Chrome"
tell front window
make new tab with properties {URL:theURL}
end tell
activate
end tell
on appIsRunning(appName)
tell application "System Events" to (name of processes) contains appName
end appIsRunning
property theURL : ""
tell application "Safari"
set theURL to URL of current tab of window 1
end tell
if appIsRunning("Google Chrome") then
tell application "Google Chrome"
make new window
set URL of active tab of window 0 to theURL
activate
end tell
else
tell application "Google Chrome"
do shell script "open -a \"Google Chrome\""
set URL of active tab of window 0 to theURL
activate
end tell
end if
on appIsRunning(appName)
tell application "System Events" to (name of processes) contains appName
end appIsRunning
