I'm using Fluid to handle Gmail, and I'd like to also use the same
instance for Wave in another tab. How do I get it to open both Gmail
and Wave when the application initially opens. I tried using "|" as a
delimiter in the homepage field like Firefox uses, but it didn't work.

Well, I am pretty sure that Fluid uses WebKit/Safari to render its pages so this trick will not work. I recommend making two separate SSBs, one for gmail, one for Wave.

I think you want the fluid dsb project instead :)

Haha. Well, I'm already doing this essentially with mail and
calendar: I just ⌘-click the Calendar link at the top of Gmail.
There's just no Wave link yet, so it makes navigating difficult. I
supposed I could just add bookmarks though.

Bob, Fluid SSBs have session restore on by default. So while ts not
quite the same, if u just open those two pages in tabs and quit the
browser, they will autoopen the next time you launch.

Other than that, there is no such multi homepage feature in fluid. I'd
like to add it tho.

You can just open the address bar you know by clicking the oval at top
right then cmd t for new tab I think

Hi Todd,

I have a similar issue. Currently my Fluid instance is targeting
http://webwork.clientsection.com. 37signals have change the URL paths
and I need to change this to http://webwork.basecamphq.com.

http://foliovision.com/2009/10/09/37signals-basecamp-url-change

I can't seem to find anyway to change the home URL which means I'm
waiting on a redirect all the time. Making a new Fluid is alright but
I have a complex set of rules in there and would really prefer not to
build from scratch.

Any suggestions?

Cordial regards,

my guess is you'll have to open up the app package.  It's prob stored in a plist file or something.  perhaps open it up then grep on the domain to find it.
