Duplicate Tabs
With the latest Chrome update (Chrome 65), Tabs Outliner is now duplicating tabs in the TO view. When opening the Tabs Outliner Window by clicking on the TO extension button, the Tabs Outliner Windows is opened twice as well.
I see this on two different computers, one with Windows 8.1 and another one with Windows 10.
Chrome settings for on startup:
(X) Open the New Tab page
Continue where you left off
Open a specific page or set of pages
After I close the Window (for example Test) and re-open it, the tabs are duplicated again.
Any idea how to solve this? I am a heavy TO user and have the paid version as well, but currently it is unusable!
Do you need any additional information to reproduce?
Google drive backup not working in paid
Fairly new paid user, love the app, google drive backups aren't working.
Details: In Tabs Outliner Options/Backup I see two Google Drive backups, both created on my first day of use. I'm now a week in, no more automatic backups, and if I click "Backup now" the progress indicator just spins forever on "Connecting..."
Additional details: I generally sign into chrome from a different account than I use for email. The extension is registered to the account I use when signing into chrome (and all other paid features are working) but the Tabs Outliner Options/Paid Features tab lists the email account I had you sent the license to, not the account I sign into chrome as. Is it possible you're incorrectly using the "send to" email rather than the "logged in as" email when trying to connect to google drive? That's the only unusual thing I can think of that I'm doing.
If you'd like me to use fiddler or chrome developer tools or similar to try to catch something in the network connection or similar, I can do that.
stored tabs get mixed in too easily with crashed tabs
1) I get a bunch of "crashed" tabs listed in tabs outliner. I'd be happy if I could turn this off.
2) my stored tabs are sorted along with the "crashed" tabs, but copies are not mixed in with the currently opened tabs, which came from the session restore. It would be nice if the stored tabs were also mixed in with the re-opened tabs.
Or it would be nice if the stored tabs could be isolated so I could always find them whatever is happening with my other tabs.
This is keeping me from being able to use tabs outliner.
This is because of the luck of appropriate API in Chrome itself, to correctly distinguish reopened tabs from new, and normally closed (on Chrome exit) from crashed
Mostly this tool is for a real tabs addicts, and they actually very rarely restart the Chrome, so this is not a huge issue for them.
Yet your suggestion to just give the option to turn off the crashed windows management might help to make it more compatible for your case.
Need to think. It might be quick and easy fix.
Sidebar
I assume people have already asked about whether TO can be implemented as a sidebar rather than a separate window, but have not found reference to it yet. Is this a consideration?
Personally, I would find this much easier to use. But then, I am not used to having multiple windows open, but having one window with many many tabs instead. Since my recent move to Chrome from FF and Opera, am being pushed into using different windows. For what it is worth, the tab grouping functionality in Opera is the best, and I see OT as a possible way to make Chrome behave somewhat sensibly.
Real sidebars is not possible in Chrome meantime.
In past I was experimenting and do some attempts to mimic this by separate window which always follow active window, but this approach works ugly and have tons of drawbacks.
Rumors says that maybe In next year Chrome team fill implement such functionality for extensions writers, yet latest trend show that actually maybe extensions is now out of favor by Google in compare to so called Chrome apps, so I think this is unlikely.
Yet must say that current logic of Tabs Outliner will not gain a lot from being in sidebar to some window, as it is show and allow operations on all windows, so it is much more logically and handy to have it as sidebar to the desktop or monitor side, not a some window.
Current implementation also has some advantages in compare to sidebar. For example it is much more convenient to resize a separate window to see longer titles. Other small advantages. I am a former Firefox user and as so also think that sidebars is a way to go initially, but now I really like separate window concept for this specific case much more.
Yet when native sidebar will be available I will utilize them.
Would it be possible to increase the contrast on the closed/preserved tabs - I find them very hard to read.
I have found the closed/preserved tab items very hard to read because the contrast between the text and the background is so low (by design?). It would be useful to have an option to set a higher contrast font (I just downloaded the app. It sounds very useful! Will let you know how I like it after I've used it for a while. Thanks.)
For sometime already it is possible to configure colors of the Tabs Outliner main items. See the options.
Just review the bugs and found this issue, sorry for late status update.

Add support for Tab Groups and fix Pinned Tabs
It's been long years since the other tickets found on this forum got any attention so it seems to me that it's about time to bring new insights and start new conversation.

Grouped tabs don't restore in groups. They don't show as groups in Tab Outliner UI tree either.
Only some tabs get restored as pinned. They don't show as pinned in Tab Outliner UI tree either.
There are valid use cases for both standard chrome features, that are thoroughly mentioned in the linked tickets, so it seems that there is no argument against also adding them to the extension.
GDrive Back-up for Microsoft Edge?
I use Microsoft Edge which runs on Chromium (but is not Google Chrome). When I try to enable Backup to Google Drive on the Tabs Outliner settings, the following error pops up: Error: OAuth2 request failed: Connection failed (-2).
Is there a fix for this?
Duplicate tabs removal
This feature request is for the user's ability to mass-remove all tabs with duplicate URLs from the tree.
Hope to get a response as to whether the suggested feature is going to be added to TabsOutliner.
Best regards,

Enable manual backup that is not reliant on Google, for privacy's sake.
Not everyone who uses this extension want to reply on Google for all of their data solutions. Some don't even use Google Chrome, but rather its free brother Chromium.
