Tree Tabs
-
Haven't upgraded in a while, and wondering if there's a way to do that without losing all current tab grouping / folders? I tried replacing the contents of the Tree Tabs folder with the new version, but that didn't work. I put the old version back, and still no old folders. The localstorage for the extension was deleted for some reason, so I put a backup of those files back in the right place (all this with Vivaldi not running), but I still can't get my original folders back.
I have a note from before about renaming the localstorage files to match the new extension ID, but since I can't even get the old one working at the moment, I'm wondering if there's something else I'm missing?

@dsl101 Hmm. Looks like things have moved. With then new TT, I see files in
Local Extension Settings\fmbnb.....
rather than inLocal Storage\chrome-extension_fmbnb...
. Or maybe that's something else? -
@dsl101 Yes you are right. I changed way of saving data from plain localStorage["key"] to chrome.storage.local.set("key"). The reason is to preserve data even when users clears up browser's cache/history and all cookies data.

Hi—not sure if this is the best place for this, but not sure where else... This morning I started Vivaldi, and all my tree tab folders were gone. I've just got a long flat list of tabs. Any chance of getting them back? Probably 120 tabs in total which were nicely organised are now rather disorganised It would be great if there was some way to back up the folder structure in case of situations like this—is that possible?

@dsl101 Did you try emergency buttons?
They are under Session shelf in Tree Tabs toolbar, with arrows pointing up... -
@dsl101 Did you try emergency buttons?
They are under Session shelf in Tree Tabs toolbar, with arrows pointing up...No, I had not spotted that. I will know where to look if it happens again (first time for me, which is good I suppose :).
Thanks for a great extension btw. Been using it since version 0.

@dsl101 Cool Glad you like it.
Today I posted update to 1.5, but found a bug that caused selection loss when clicked on scrollbar, because of event bubble. Fixed it now and posted update to 1.5.1. -
Do you have any notes on upgrading—since I lost all my folders last time I'm keen not to repeat the experience! I guess I can just export first and import after. But is there anything else to take care about?
-
@dsl101 In fact, it seems I can't do that :(. Clicking the Export Session button doesn't seem to do anything. No file save dialogue opens (which is what I was expecting), and no .tt_session files are generated anywhere...
-
@dsl101 latest vivaldi started to block save file dialog from web panels. That is why I had to rush with release of a new version where i came up with a way to open a new tab and save file from there. You can try to go to tree tabs options page, copy url for web panel and instead of pasting it to web panel, paste it to address bar and run. This way you can open sidebar in a tab. From there you should be able to save your session.
-
@kroppy Yup, that worked fine, tx. Now, for upgrade, should I remove the current extension and load the new one? Or can it be upgraded 'in place'?
-
@dsl101 Just unzip files to the old location and overwrite files. You can even leave Vivaldi on, but you should temporarily disable extension. After that just enable it back in vivaldi and reload web panel.
-
@kroppy Perfect. Can I suggest maybe adding that to the front pinned message?
2 other questions—is there a gallery of the themes anywhere, or even maybe the possibility of putting pictures in that drive folder? And secondly, do you want feedback on usability, enhancements, etc? If so, on here or gitlab?
Tx.

@dsl101 Sure I will add that. Themes are done by various people, and I had no time to think where I could put them, so I just gave full access to themes folder on my google drive. Maybe someone can suggest some page where we could manage it somehow? Maybe Pinterest, Artstation, Deviantart? with links to google drive? I don't know.
As for feedback, not everyone wants to make an account on gitlab, but if you have an account then it would be better to post there and keep this thread clean, otherwise, sure, you can write here no problem. Opera users also can write reviews on Opera's extensions page: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/tree-tabs/ (where by the way I should post an update). Also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-tabs/reviews/ reviews page is fine too.
You can also send me a message personally. -
Hey @kroppy Thank you for creating the extension! I was wondering if you have plans to add this to the Chrome store, so it can be updated automatically instead of needing update by hand?
-
@stvad The problem is the Vivaldi version of this extension doesn't work on chrome, since chrome doesn't have panels.
-
@luetage Sure, but I don't want to install it in Chrome, I want to install it in Vivaldi from Chrome store, so It'll get automatic updates and everything.
-
@stvad Yep, it's just that uploading a dysfunctional extension to chrome web store is not a bright idea. Read the thread, I'm positive this has been discussed before.
-
@luetage I'd disagree . I think it's ok to do that (unless it's explicitly prohibited by Store policy) with a note that it works only on Vivaldi (or Chrome forks with side panels, if it's the case).
Regarding the previous discussion - don't see much. You mentioned it once, but I'd appreciate an opinion from @kroppy here too. -
@luetage + I won't call it dysfunctional really. It can display tab tree in a separate tab for example
