Previously, when I used a Trigger to send the Open command to switch

"Reopening
the current application" in the Extras section of the Quicksilver
Preferences.
I had always believed that setting controlled the behavior of the Open
action. Looking at the code, I see that’s not the case. In fact, I
don’t think that setting is ever used in practice. (It appears once in
the code, but that code seems to be unused.)
Now that I am running Mavericks, using a Trigger to Open an
application
that is already running brings all the windows for that application to
the
front. This is functionally equivalent to using command-tab to switch
to an
application, and this change in behavior has crippled my workflows.
On my system (10.9.1), the Open action does what you want. It only
brings the focused window to the front. But to be sure, I tried it with
Chrome specifically and it’s bringing all windows forward.
This sort of crap is typical of cross-platform applications where
standard OS X behavior is an afterthought at best. If you report the
problem to Google, just tell them that `-[NSWorkspace
openFile:@"/Applications/Google Chrome.app"]` is what triggers the
undesired behavior.
