it would be great if there would be a setting to make the tabbar more minimalistic. search, notepad, animations, settings, pages, maximize. minimize, close buttons. all them have no option to hide them. i think most of the users never use this after configuring everthing.

greets and thanks!

Hi, thanks for your work on this extension.  After installing the extension, the side bar window with the tabs in it appeared as it should.

However the tabs still appear in the big chrome window as they were efore installation.

How do you hide the tabs across the top.

Can you tell me how often the favicon in the sidebar should update? It's mainly a problem with Gmail, as I have a feature enabled which puts the number of unread messages in the favicon, and it regularly gets out of step between the main Chrome tab and the sidebar. Since moving from FF, I'm so used to looking in the sidebar to quickly check for mail, and I end up switching back to gmail only to find there's nothing there.

I guess there may be a performance implication - perhaps it could be made configurable? Or even better if there's a way to register for favicon change events...

Cheers,

David

Before moving to Sidewise, I was constantly caught by dragging tabs to the bookmarks bar and being surprised to find a new window opening.

No I'm trying to do the same from Sidewise! Any chance that can be made to work? I.e. drag a row from Sidewise and drop it on the bookmarks bar in the main Chrome window, as if the icon from the omnibox had been dropped there?

BUT Unfortunately I'll be sticking with FF until Google releases that sidebar API and lets us hide the tabs up top. As soon as they do though... I'm here.

Would it be possible to ignore windows created by Google Hangouts? See pic for an example.

The default chrome ordering is very well thought of.

Basically, successive links open.

Parent Tab >   (1) 

(2) 

(3)

If you navigate to the child tabs, and then navigate BACK to the parent tab. 

And open some more links, 

Parent Tab >  (1) 

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

This is totally expected.

However, if you navigate OUTSIDE of the child tabs listed above, and then navigate BACK to the parent tab, 

and open some more links, we get,

Parent Tab >  (7)

(8)

(1) 

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

This is VERY useful IMHO. It allows you to quickly switch to the recent links you opened quickly without traversing all the old child tabs.

Why isn't the ordering simply set to open ALL new links to the right of the parent tab? 

Parent Tab > (5)

(4)

(3)

(2)

(1)

This would greatly simplify the code, wouldn't it?

However, this is not ideal because child tab (5), hasn't finished loading yet. 

So you can't switch to it and start working immediately. 

The current implementation in sidewise implements opening links as the last child of the parent tab. This is great but the default chrome ordering is better. Its rather difficult to get this configuration in firefox too but its possible  when combining multiple extensions. 

Title says it all.  We don't need Chrome's tabs when we have SIdewise.

First of all, thanks for Sidewise!  You're doing great creating the features I want.  Suggest looking at Firefox's plugin, Treestyle Tabs, which was my previous tab manager.  Also, (I know this is vague, but, heh, I'm a user) the ideal tab manager would meld the bookmarks manager with a a tabs manager seamlessly.  Now to the possible bug.

It appears that the hibernate feature (which I love!  It's like the tab/bookmark manager combination I mentioned above) doesn't keep hibernated windows and tabs in sync.  I often activate a tab or folder of tabs in a totally hibernated window (this is like the bookmark side of the tab/bookmark manager combo).  These tabs come up in the current window.  If later I try to activate the hibernated window, it only brings up the window with a single tab in it.

I like the feature of being able to bring up a hibernated tab/folder in a hibernated window, but give me the option to display the activated tab(s) in the current window, activate the containing window of the activated tabs (leaving the hibernated tabs of the window hibernated), or maybe a new window.  I'm not familiar with the Chrome browser APIs, so I don't know if this is possible.
