Tabs Outliner window getting out of sync with browser sync
Hi,
I'm having some issues with your extension. Sometimes a new tab stays as "New Tab" in the outliner window even if i've browsed somewhere in it. This seems to happen only with some websites. What i'm doing:
1. Open new tab with CTRL+T
2. Start typing an url ("reddit" for example)
3. Press enter when autocompletion pops up
4. Site loads, but the outliner entry stays as "New Tab" and gets stuck as it. Clicking on it in the outline doesn't focus the tab in the browser window.
It seems to only happen to some websites/urls. It seems that if i instead of pressing enter in step 3 press CTRL+A (goes to the start of the address bar in my OS) then press enter, it works.
I see a lot of errors in the console for the background page for the extension like this:
ERROR Cannot find tab - setActiveTab 550 389 background.js:47
ERROR############## Cannot find tab550 in this.treeModel 550
Object {active: true, highlighted: true, id: 550, incognito: false, index: 7…}
[e, Kb: e, yb: function, findActiveWindow: function, X: function, getAllCollapsedNodes: function…]
background.js:80
Using:
Google Chrome Version 26.0.1410.43
I had some other extensions installed but i've deactivated them but it doesn't seem to help.
Problem is detected and fix/workaround will be released soon (i hope - today). This is actually a Chrome v26 bug, Chrome extensions API start send inconsistent events in some cases.
Yet of course it is impractical to wait till the Chrome team will fix this (if they will be bothered at all, some serious bugs that i report to them was ignored, even despite they are regressions). So i will release a workaround on my own.
UPDATE Fixed in v0.4.55 - wait till your copy will be update or force update by entering the developer mode in the extensions list and pressing "Update Extensions Now" button.
Incognito windows open as normal windows in TO
Currently, all outliner tabs open in normal chrome windows, even when initially (before they were closed), they were incognito tabs.
This can be a real pain because often times we work with one logged in normal window, and several incognito tabs without identifying information, when accidentally opened through tab outliner without incognito mode, this can be very dangerous for our identity (and for many others in sensitive work or locations around the world)
It appears that opening incognito is simply providing the -incognito switch when starting up a window/tab, so hopefully this would be easy to fix?
Thanks a lot for this wonderful product, it makes workflow so much easier without constantly having chrome eat up half the computer memory!
> this can be very dangerous for our identity (and for many others in sensitive work or locations around the world)
Just please don't enable the Tabs Outliner in incognito mode. And you sensitive information will be fine. This is the default and there is reasons for this, as you already found, some of them.
Or consider to create a new separate profile for your incognito related work, if it is happens to have dozen of windows every time.

No it's not as easy as you think. The issue is way more complicated than just reopening the windows in incognito mode. The incognito mode is not supported meantime, and most likely will never be. Please disable the Tabs Outliner for your incognito windows.
quick close outline
Create group. shows up at bottom of list. All sub items expanded in hierarchy, want to get to top, have to close all items to scrol. would rather have button to close all expanded items or ideally at a certain level (ie. level 1, 2, 3)
Meantime work on synchronization but for future version is planed a context menu with an entry for a such functionality, and a bunch of related.
suggestions
2. A way to restore/hide more than one tab at a time
3. A way to hide tabs without opening the tab outliner window.
Regarding 1) You can create a regular bookmark to Tabs Oultiner window - get a link for it from The Tabs Outliner itself, by right clicking on node that represent its tab ans select "copy link adress". this bookmark will be able to open Tabs Outliner in a regular window
2) as Peter Eliot mention - sometime reading the manual is a good idea ; )
Chrome crash, lost everything
incognito
"send to" button to send tab to another window
Would be nice to have a "send to" button in addition to each tab. When "send to" button is clicked, user would be prompted to select from list of open windows. Tab would then be sent to that window. In many cases this could be a lot easier and faster than drag and drop.
Backup/export save not working?
I must be doing something stupid, but the html file produced by saving the Tabs Outliner window either as html only or as a complete html (all nodes expanded) only contains a separator.
It would be great if this worked as expected, as I don't like dragging to an open window nor saving in MS Word format in order to have a Tabs Outliner backup file.
Speaking of backup - any ideas how to streamline the process? Where is the Tabs Outliner data stored?
Here is the contents of the file produced for your enjoyment: (Thanks!)

option to sort last opened urls on top of the list/tree
I have currently 310 urls on the list; so everytime tabs outliner opens, it is scrolled to the top, and I have to scroll til the end to see the newest urls opened; btw all others are closed and only a few are running in the active window.
If the order could be reversed it would work great!
thx again for this excellent extension!
Add an icon to quickly send users to this page so they can post feedback/requests
At the moment, to find this page you have to potentially go thru four hopes:
the Chrome store details tab > the support forum > see the message from you directing people to the feedback forum > and then see the link in the feedback forum to this page.
If you want to solicit feedback on this page (and I do think this userecho/getsatisfication style format is the best way to do this kind of thing), then you should make it as easy as possible for users to find their way here.
I decide that I prefer to "solicit feedback" on my email from about box ; )
