For me, that is simply easier since I always begin navigating to my tabs straight from TO anyway and always just close the first window that pops up when Chrome launches.<br><br>I know that TO can run without any Chrome windows open, so I thought there should be a way to just run it solo from the get-go. To figure this out I ended up running across <a href="http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/">these Chromium cmdline flags/switches</a> and found one for launching extensions. So far, I have been successful in launching TO solo before Chrome, but I can only access the TO options page and not the actual tree.<br><br>In my case, the .exe path with flags looks like this:<br>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 1" --app-id="eggkanocgddhmamlbiijnphhppkpkmkl"<br>where Profile 1 is the user I want to open Chrome as and eggkanocgddhmamlbiijnphhppkpkmkl is the TO app-id, found in C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 1\Extensions (for Windows).<br><br>What I'd like to ask is: <br>1) Is there another, better way to accomplish this?<br>2) Can the json or js files be altered so that the app-id flag opens the tree view?<br>3) Could you add a button to the options page that opens the tree view? (not ideal, but probably easiest for you to implement)<br><br>...and since I'm not sure the app-ids are consistent across systems, I found the one for TO by going to Chrome options > Tools > Inspect devices > Extensions > Inspect (for TO) > Resources > any of the last 4 or so menus.<br><br>Thanks.<br><br/><br/> šāĆøŃĪµĪ·zo replied:<br/><p>You can use this AutoHotKey script with the path to the .bat script to start it completely hidden (better than shortcut):</p><p>#Requires AutoHotkey 2.0.5<br>#NoTrayIcon<br>Run "C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Minimized Tabs Outliner (wrapped .ps1).bat",,"Hide"</p>Loony Binhttps://tabsoutliner.userecho.com/users/135-loony-bin/topics/tag:tabsoutliner.userecho.com,2023-08-06:/communities/1/topics/541-how-much-money-do-you-want-vlad/2023-08-06T15:58:21+00:002023-08-06T15:58:21+00:00How much money do you want, Vlad?

I very much liked its hierarchical tree model and browser control. Particularly for that point in time it was a very nice piece of work.</p><p></p><p>Recently I've been developing a quite different tool but with a similar tree structured data model and ability to control the browser. I've been focusing on building not marketing but have generated some enthusiastic support from users even in advance of the 1.0 version. I had some TO users request imports into BrainTool, my extension, so I implemented an ability to do that.</p><p></p><p>From surveying the activity on the Google Group and userecho site it seems like the Tabs Outliner project is somewhat moribund, but with a number of active and often frustrated users. As you probably know Tabs Outliner will stop working <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/mv2-sunset/">at the end of the year</a>. I think BrainTool is a good match for those peoples needs and having them as users might enable it to evolve faster than it would otherwise.</p><p></p><p>Are you interested in open sourcing or selling Tabs Outliner? I would like to offer a migration path to BrainTool and the potential for the TO source code to be ported to Manifest V3 such that it can continue to work in 2023.</p><p>Thanks for your consideration,</p><p>Tony Confrey</p><br/><br/> Tony Confrey replied:<br/><p>Hi PW. That was a rollercoaster thread!</p><p><br></p><p>To be clear I'm not saying TO is ending but that Google is discontinuing the API (Manifest V2) it uses to communicate with the browser. See the link in my original note to Vlad and the key timeline image inserted below. Without significant work to port to the new Manifest V3 TO will stop working.</p><p></p><p>As you've seen, my model is that BrainTool will be free for use up to 300 saved items (its currently totally free for now). Your data is stored in plain text and available to you at any time, so no lock in. The tool is still very much under development and I'm actively seeking feedback on direction. While its not my main focus I hope to cover the session management aspect of TO at some point this year at which point it should be fully feature compatible. </p><p></p><p>I don't understand what you mean by using TO as a bookmark organizer, IMO BrainTool should be able to meet you needs there. I know a number of TO users have successfully made the transition.
