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.
