Don't replace the tab when I click link there - add child node instead

Nikolay Ugarov 11 years ago updated by vladyslav volovyk 11 years ago 0
I use TO for a while, and as I'm adapting, I start to get more and more of it.

But one thing I cannot overcome: having saved tab open, I just click links there, instead of opening in new tab. Then I realize my "bookmark" is gone and I have to dig through history to restore it.

To solve this I'd propose to have the tab "pinned". And if you click a link in pinned tab, it doesn't replace it in tree but added as a child. How exactly you pin it  - I'm not sure - might be explicit button. But better just have the rule - if it was saved once (explicitly or implicitly), have it pinned till I delete it.

Yes, such problem exist. I sometimes also annoyed by this behavior.
Need to think what will be the best way to deal with this problem, i for example thinking about adding a separate history list for tabs in Tabs Outliner.

Also there is already implemented yet not released meantime possibility to view tree in any point in the past, a history view of the tree. It will of course not a solution, but at least information will not lost and can be easily restored by dragging from history view to the current view.

Take note that there is 2 additional ways to restore tabs without affecting the source hierarchy.
  1. You can alt/ctrl drag the whole hierarchy - this will create a copy, and then restore the copy.
  2. You can shift/ctrl click on tabs and this will restore a link in new window (shift) or as new tab in last selected window (ctrl), without affecting and activating the source node.

Do not scroll the currently active window to the top

FichteFoll 13 years ago updated by David Rees 11 years ago 12

Currently, whenever I switch the window or click a tab in the view the list scrolls downwards (or upwards) so that the newly active window is on the most top. I don't like this behavour at all, it makes it impossible to have all your windows at a glance, instead it will most likely hide all the other windows besides the active one.


Another thing is that this does not correspond to the actually active tab. If you have more tabs (or just entries in the list) than the amount of items matching in the Tabs Outliner window the active tab is not even visible there because it scrolls to the window entry, not to the tab itself.


What I'd like it to do is to make the currently active tab visible in the overview, that is scroll the view so that the tab is like 2 rows aways from the borders if necessary (and optionally the parent window item, as an option). This assures that the window itself does not change its appearance too often like when you only have 3 windows with 3 tabs each which would easily fit into a 1000px high TO window. You can see the all windows and all the tabs when scrolled to he top. Why change this?

(Mac) standard keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore with current versions of TO

parahippocampus 10 years ago updated by vladyslav volovyk 10 years ago 3

Just wanted to report that in Tabs Outliner 1.4.127, the (Mac) standard keyboard shortcuts (e.g., "Command-W" for closing a window, "Command-+" for zooming in, etc.) either no longer work or trigger the message to upgrade to the paid version, which I assume is not intended.


I cannot verify whether the problem is also present on Windows machines (for Ctrl-W, Ctrl-+, etc.).

Thanks for reporting this. i will fix Ctrl-Q and the Alt + Q must already be fixed in the version that is released yesterday - v1.4.127. These shortcuts is also possible to changes in the Chrome Settings \ Extensions \ configure commands.

Tabs can only be opened in a new session

Gordon Olmstead-Dean 6 months ago 0

Paid User issues - Tabs Outliner seems to work very well for several months, then lose its mind and become a mess.  

Specifically, I cannot open any tabs by double-clicking them.  

I have hundreds of tabs, organized into groups.  When I want to open a tab I go to the relevant group and click on it.  Many of these are things I use daily, mostly spreadsheets, etc.  

This no longer works at all.  

Someone suggested this might be because I'd recently added and removed a screen from the PC and apparently the outliner doesn't like this.  

CTRL-Click to open Link in Last Window does not work (nothing happens)

SHIFT-Click to Open Link in New Window does not work (nothing happens)

If I have a NEW window open, I can double click and the tab opens.  But it opens in the new window.

Obviously this completely breaks Groups.  Yes I can salvage my links, but they are now a random mess of whatever I used last.  I'm getting along on an emergency basis, but the amount of work to rebuild each group is staggering, and I'm currently looking for a more reliable alternative with similar features.  


Is anyone aware of:

A) Why this would happen in the first place and 
B) Any way to restore the expected behavior - e.g. I click on a Group, all of the tabs in the group open, I click on a tab in a group, it opens and other tabs in the same group will open in the same window?

Backups are not clickable/live links?

Dianne DeSha 8 months ago 0

Something happened in the last week or two and my Tab Outliner opened empty.

I have a number of backups, and I've tried to use those, but the saved trees appear to be just lists of tab names: folders do not open or shut, no links are active. Even if I drag something to my current outline (to try to recover the tabs) changes nothing. They're all just names and lines.

Any help/ideas?

Is the Tabs Outliner paid version still available? Is Tabs Outliner still being developed or at least maintained?

mpatca 11 months ago updated by Will D 10 months ago 3

I wanted to buy Tabs Outliner and pay with PayPal. I only received an error message. This may be due to my very restrictive browser settings. Before I go to the trouble of changing the settings and trying a second time, I would like to know: Is Tabs Outliner still an active project at all?

restore name of named windows

Batterbits 2 years ago 0

When I end a session, using the close button in TO, It saves all the open windows and closes them as it should do. I name my windows in TO for ease of use, but, I also name the windows by "renaming" them in Chrome, to make them easier to find when minimised. 
So for example, I have a window for my Home control, which I name "home control" in both TO and the browser.

Whilst TO restores the window (or a tab from the window), the names of the windows are not retained/reinstated. This is not the case when I close down without saving the windows (crashed) the window names are retained. As I normally have 8 or more "go to" windows, plus whatever else I am working on, this is more than inconvenient

So for my Home Control window, the beauty of naming them is that it doesn't matter which tab is active, hovering over the icon on the taskbar shows "Home control" rather than the name of the active tab in the window.

Please review support issues

Daniel Grin 2 years ago 0

Can I suggest you review the support issues on the chrome store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabs-outliner/eggkanocgddhmamlbiijnphhppkpkmkl)... there are a few that appear unanswered.

Also, what would it take for you to open source the software (I'm serious. Would consider offering ample support).  Alternatively, would you consider adding a few features buy bounty agreement?
