The docs are right, once you get used to the paradigm TO's a great tool. I'm finding one thing very frustrating that may well be my fault, I can't believe Vladyslav doesn't have the same need it seems so basic. With a "normal bookmark", it doesn't change in normal use, you have to go back to the "manage bookmarks" function in order to update it a new location/parameters whatever. But with TO the placeholders are "live" and when I click around and change the app in that tab, I lose the original pointer.

This is of course great - some sessions are a "work in progress" so when I restore and then continue navigating, I want the saved tabs to be kept up to date with the live session. 

However other pages ("sticky"? "locked"?) are just starting points, say to a particular viewport/zoom level on a googleMap, and I want the "bookmark" back in TO to keep that particular URL as static, NOT keep updating as I click around in that tab.

My current workaround is to (try to remember to) use Chrome's "Duplicate" tab function and then quickly close/save the TO tab, and do all my navigating in a "temporary/scratch/working" copy tab, then closing it from the browser knowing the original "bookmark" is back in TO.

I would suggest a little "lock/unlock" icon, defaulting to unlocked which means "leave this URL unchanged" no matter what is done after launching it in the browser.

This would also function as a "don't lose this if I close the window from the browser" button - right now I'm putting nothing-but-an-x notes below hundreds of saved tabs because I'm constantly forgetting to save/close from the TO panel, very kludgey workaround.

This is a tremendous application Vladyslav, just some minor suggestions, overall THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Hello kind TO premium users mates.

I've had some times where TO license gets broken and has to be re-registered. When Chrome is opened after a PC reboot, TO window just suggests being registered and its premium features are turned off.

It's not a big deal compared to other issues, all we gotta do is open in a new tab our https://tabsoutliner.com/setlicensekey URL, and it's back registered.

But there's this issue, registering our license requires entering on a registration server under tabsoutliner.com domain. Once the host subscription or domain registration expires, we won't be able to re-register our licence, in the case of reinstalling Chrome or registration breaking again. That's a big issue, as TO owner is long gone and hasn't even logged on this forum for over a year.

I just figured that, and rushed to see how much time we had until the domain ownership is taken by its registrar. And, for my surprise, it was renewed on 2020! 2020-02-06, 1 month before it'd expire!

That means vladyslav.volovyk didn't bother to do a simple login on the forum to see what his paying users have been saying, but had the time and money to renew his domain!

It's first of all an evidence that he hadn't died at all. That's a relief, and now we have our license server available at least until 2021-03, as long as the hosting is also renewed!

But, if he is alive and active enough to login on Namecheap and renew the domain, why is he silent? Why did he stop developing the extension? Why couldn't he at least come here and read my post asking for him to open the source? Why is the premium edition still available for buying, if there's no update for 3 years and no relevant word from him for even more years?!

Well, this got me pissed. I still have hundreds of tabs stored on TO and I wanna move them out and uninstall Chrome before the year ends.

I'm really big on using hierarchical outlines to organize my thinking, so I'm finding this a GREAT tool to help keep my OCD/ADD browsing habits under control.

Ever since the first manifest v3 update the local backup snapshots feature don't work anymore at all. Not a single backup is created even after many days of usage. Only the google drive backups are working with no problems.

I'm using Chrome v129.0.6668.90 and TO v 1.4.153

Any help would be really appreciated. 

Microsoft has rolled out Tab Groups in the latest beta of Chrome. Any chance TO will support them soon?

As of today it is missing and cannot be installed

Hi, I've just started using TO and I'm trying to train myself in using this and I 'm starting to like it. However, i don't like the behavior of auto scrolling to the active window too much. The reason is, while this is useful when there are a lot of tabs open, that is not always the case, sometimes i will have just a couple of tabs in each window.

So, what i'm saying is, as the title suggest, an option to turn off auto scrolling  can be useful, or better yet, just show the whole tree if there's only a few tabs active and auto scroll only if the whole tree doesn't fit in the window.

Thank you.

Hey there,

there seems to be a small issue when working with pinned tabs:

Generally, Tabs Outliner remembers the pinned status of a tab and restores it when closing and reopening a window. However, the first pinned tab is always converted to a normal tab whereas the others stay pinned as expected. Minimal example:

1. Open Google, Ebay and Amazon in their respective tabs

2. Pin Google and Ebay

3. Save the window with a name like "Test"

4. Close the window

5. Reopen it with Tabs Outliner

6. Ebay is pinned whereas Google and Amazon are normal tabs

That does not seem to be the expected behavior. Please inform me if you fix this since it would make my workflow much easier!

Thanks for the great extension by the way ;).

Best wishes,

Sebastian Landwehr

At the moment, when you open up a cloned view, there is no way to visually distinguish which is the cloned view and which is the auto-scrolling view from the tab title. Displaying "Tab Outliner (cloned)" or some other visual indicator in the tree view would be helpful to be able to easily close the view you're not interested in from the TO panel.
