"delete" and "unload"| icons are too close, this is very error-prone without "undo"

Alexander Phoenix 12 years ago updated by badon 8 years ago 28

while we are confined to mouse for unloading, there is quite high chance to delete whatever you wanted to save.

It's even worse with how icons are jumping around sometimes based on mouse-overed item type

Please, resolve this by adding "undo" of some sort and/or making icons not so close together.

Or somehow else.

Non an issue as if the item have the unload icon then it is represent the open Chrome item (tab of window). If accidentally deleted such items can be always restored from Chrome by the "Recent closed windows/tabs list".


The undo is planed anyway, and other features which can help resolve this issue even further, like the tree aware history, but this issue, as it is formulated, is actually not very critical - exactly this case - items with unload and delete icons actually have the undo possibility. 


So meantime i just trash this bug.

UPDATE: Or better leave it there with an answer.

Functionality to Collapse All Groups

Mossload 11 years ago updated by Vijay Saraff 2 years ago 4

I can see there is a way to expand all groups, and then a way to undo the expansion.  However, I don't see any way to collapse all groups, which would be useful.

Vladyslav - Have you thought about open-sourcing this project?

backside9 7 years ago updated by Garin Zhang 1 year ago 9

Tabs Outliner has the potential to be the best browser tool that Google never built -- but you obviously don't have the time to maintain it -- why not open source the project? Many developers like myself would be interested to contribute bug fixes and improvements. It would make the tool much more powerful for users.

I understand that you would like to get paid for your work, but it seems you need a different business model than you currently have to keep up with technical issues like memory consumption, crashes, etc. Consider open sourcing this, and let the developer community help you!

TO extension For Brave

oxwood1 6 years ago updated by Sasha 5 months ago 13

I would love an extension for Brave, the chrome extension (with a lot of work) almost kind of works in brave already. I'm reasonably sure it wouldn't be hard to add support, there also seems to be no way to buy the pro version currently due to the lack of brave being tied to a google account. Love the Extension, keep up the good work :)

Firefox/Cross-Platform Support (Via WebExtensions)

Chance Snow 6 years ago updated by peanut 3 years ago 4

Please consider supporting Firefox in addition to Chrome. Firefox has near-parity with Chrome's extension API. (This might also let you support Edge at the same time.)

Please remove the call to window.requestFileSystem so that this addon can work in Firefox

Bzihrla Knafelc 7 years ago updated by Danila Sentyabov 6 years ago 2

Hello,


I can't live without this addon, it is the only thing that works for management of a lot of tabs.


Unfortunately I can no longer use Chrome because it does not have delayed tab loading and it forces the user to load 1000 tabs at startup which can take hours and consume 15 gigabytes of memory. So I switched to Firefox Nightly (with the new Lazy Tabs virtualbrowser feature of Firefox 56) which can load 1000 tabs in 5 seconds total.


So I am trying to use Tabs Outliner in Firefox. (using Chrome Store Foxified addon)


The problem is that this addon gives an error, because the window.requestFileSystem API does not exist in Firefox WebExtensions.


Please remove this requestFileSystem functionality and use the indexdb instead, so that this extension can work on Firefox.


Thank you so much.

can't restore backup, Google Drive error

Rainer 4 years ago updated by Maah Luz 12 months ago 34

As of this morning I can't restore backups. It seems to be an issue with Google Drive. When I try to restore the TO window is shown, but this error pops up:

Error: A network error occurred, and the download could not be completed. Check you Internet connection.

If I look at the URL it is trying to open and try to open the https://content.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/..... part directly then I get: 403 Forbidden Your client does not have permission.

I'm hoping this is a transient Google Drive issue, but wondering if anyone knows more.

Please open the source

Hikari 4 years ago updated 4 years ago 6

I know this isn't easy, but it shouldn't also be easy to see your child orphaned. It's been 2 years you don't publish any new public versions.

It seems now that GDrive had changed its URL or something, and viewing backups got broken. New changes will come that require fixes, and I fear some day TO will go inoperable.

That is summed to the years-old issue of the licensing tool, that only works on Chrome. You've been forcing us into Chrome for years. We wanna move to Vivaldi and Brave, but must remain on Chrome.

The sad fact is that browsers extensions isn't a profitable business. Few ppl buy extensions for browsers that are free. I'd pay a subscription, but even fewer would. And charging once for a lifetime license isn't sustainable.

A few months ago Sandboxie was made freeware, and its owner is promising to open its source. I had also bought its lifetime license and used its features for years, and now they are free for anybody, and we lost our support and will need to hope an open source community to rise and support it.

This is also sad and hard, but it's still better than have a software we love and use everyday, and which we bought, to die like that.

Don't let this happen. There's no other tabs manager nearly as good as yours. We bought it, we supported you. Many of us are willing to subscribe if that brings your hard work back. If you can't, or you think we're not numbered enough to bother, then just open the source so we can hope somebody else can take it.

See ClassicShell in example.

Share license across Google accounts

Grega 8 years ago updated by Luciano Commendatore 7 years ago 5

Hi! I'm using two Google accounts/profiles in my Chrome, one is for work and one is personal. I recently purchased Tabs Outliner but I was sad to discover that license was only applied to one of these two profiles. Is this intended? What can I do to use the license on both profiles?


Thanks

How to fund Tabs Outliner's development?

tabsoutdbes1 10 years ago updated by Hikari 5 years ago 3
[I've created a new thread for this topic which began here: http://tabsoutliner.userecho.com/topic/132080-sync-tabs-tree/#comment-626646 ]


Hi Vladyslav,

I'm finally able to reply and can now spend some time thinking about how to generate money for your work on Tabs Outliner.


> There is also many similar tools in a same field

These tools only appear similar at first glance. Once you start using Tabs Outliner you realize that it is a very different tool.


> direct competitors, with near half a million users
> count, who will be more then happy to take the
> sources, and just publish them as updated version
> of their own tool.

The bottom line is that there needs to be a way to generate revenue regardless of whether Tabs Outliner stays proprietary or becomes Free Software.

Before contemplating other ways of generating revenue, let's start by investigating the potential of fundraising.

A fundraising campaign could, of course, fund software of either license type. Fundraising often has a goal. If the goal was to raise enough money to change the license to a Free Software license, and if you never made any more money off of Tabs Outliner after this fundraiser, how much money would need to be raised? Think of a number that would include allowing you to do Tabs Outliner development for one additional year (that way we could at least get some bugs cleaned-up).

And there's no correct answer to that question. There would likely be multiple reasons you might pick say $10,000 as the number, and multiple reasons you might pick $50,000 as the number. You might also decide that there is no maximum amount you would be willing to accept in return for changing the license.

The point is simply to start our investigation of possibilities by explicitly detailing as many of the knowns as possible.

BTW, in case it's not obvious, if the license was a Free Software license, when the day arrives that you are no longer able to spend time developing Tabs Outliner the user community would be able to find someone else to continue this work.
