Tree Style Tab
-
-
@bmarwell - OK, but with the proviso that I actually kind of hate tree-style tabs, and only like the idea of single-row pins at the top of vertical tabs.
-
@Ayespy agreed, the idea of the single-row pins is more important to me as well.
-
@Ayespy +1 - hover the group and see all contents, then straight to it. I can't see a better way to do it than that.
Also, I have tabs at the side and I don't want to be messed up by not being in the majority...

Andrii Degeler said (in comments for the article Vivaldi is building βOpera as it should've beenβ | Ars Technica):
If they would even remotely consider Tree Style Tabs it would be a serious contender... but Vivaldi's Tab Stack implementation is less usable even than Opera 10's tab stacking from 8 years ago.
I asked Tomita about it after the interview. He said it's in their list of features to implement.

@ben2talk - Pinned tabs should be stackable, anyway. In an early 1.03 version, they were. And a stack of tabs should be pinnable.

...and FYI [not Ayespy, he already knows this from prior posting of mine; https://vivaldi.net/en-US/forum/all/11512-pin-stacked-tabs#62375], the last V SS version for which it was still possible [& worked great, btw] was 1.0.233.3-1. Indeed, til only a few months ago, based on successful experimenting per that old post, i used to still have stacked tabs pinned, by clean-installing 1.0.233.3-1, organising all the tab-stacks that i wanted to be pinned [& then pinning them], then installing the latest SS over the top [it preserved all pre-existing pinned stacks, but lost the ability to pin any new stacks, without starting over again].
I eventually decided to stop it coz it was laborious having to maintain it, & also i began to worry about possible adverse implications of blending old & new code.
I miss that great feature, & hope we do get it back, sooner or later.

How about an optional feature that changes the visualization of a tab stack to be tabs indented under the first tab of the stack? That should not require changes to the current logic of tab stacks, simply a change to how they are visualized.
-
@vslatten As in - when you hover a tab stack, the tooltip shows a tab bar? Sounds good to me ...
-
@Steffie Teehee, still happy & grateful, Ayespy, for yesterday. Yay.
-
@Steffie: Glad to hear it. I relayed your feelings about the browser to the Team and they asked me to thank you for the kind words. So thanks.

Hi ppl!
I just registered for saying something.
I used to use FF for ~11 years. And it is first time i liked another browser so much.
But I just miss trees in tabs so much! Please! Pleeeeease!!!

@maleficmax Most people are referring to extensions in this thread -- we already have one for Vivaldi -- Tree Tabs
-
I only just signed up to upvote. This is a very important feature for me. Please implement it, it's the only thing that is keeping me from fully moving over to Vivaldi from Firefox.

You can already use an extension for this.
-
@luetage It's ok, but still needs more work. I may get back to it once it's gone further ahead.

@Ayespy said in Tree Style Tab:
It's not a matter of being stuck, but rather a matter of making up their minds whether/how they would like to approach it. There are at least four, maybe five, completely different ways to attack it - not as to user experience, but as to technical underpinnings. There are multiple ways to associate it with the UI. Dragging tabs to detach has priority at the moment, and there a several dozen other features and debugs/regressions in progress, considerations of how to avoid (in some cases cure) code bloat, etc., etc. So all I'm saying is it's a subject of conversation. No one is assigned to do anything about it ATM.
Btw, Ayespy, has there been any movement recently regarding the TST implementation? According to this post, 10 months ago there was a discussion, so I'm quite eager to know how likely is it for this to happen now that so much time has passed! Thank you!
-
@CaptainProton There's no active attention on it in development at the moment. There is a user-introduced extension, which is continually improving, and that's all we're likely to see on that front in the near term.
10 months - "...so much time..." In the time scale of browser development, especially with a small team like Vivaldi's, 10 months is very little time.

I'd love to see some form of tab grouping. As a software engineer, I often keep several tabs open long term, but I also have a bunch of tabs opened while I'm doing research. I'd love to be able to keep a set of tabs in a group and be able to close a whole group of research tabs without worrying about them getting mixed together.
Vivaldi already has an option to open new tabs from a link or "open in new tab" next to the parent tab. It would be awesome to either indent those or add a group separator so I can distinguish between tabs all opened from one parent tab and tabs I manually created and opened.
It would also be awesome to restrict tab switching (CTRL+TAB) to just within a tab group (maybe CTRL+SHIFT+TAB).

@NiteShdw Tab stacking does not fill this need for you?
