Sidewise does not remember the order of the tabs, or it duplicates them.

Chris Appleby 7 years ago 0

Sometimes Sidewise does not remember the order of the tabs, or it duplicates them. I have 380 tabs. I never mess with Chrome's tabs shown along the top of Chrome. I have the tabs groups into sections with the headings highlighted. I tried using folders to group tabs but when I reloaded Chrome/Sidewise, only a few of the folders remained, and the order of some of the tabs was changed.


I saw some similar complaints but these were from 2-4 years ago when Joel responded he either found or is working on a fix. Please advise.

Windows in Folders?

aile11 7 years ago 0

I would like to be able to put windows in Folders as well, instead of just tabs.


I really like this extenstion, but grouping windows would amplify it's usefullness.

Can you provide the functionality for the user to set an arbitrary name for a window?

Umang Mahajan 7 years ago 0

When someone is working on multiple tasks, ideally, you would have all related tabs in a single window. Other windows will not be needed and can be minimized (functionality for this already exists). If the windows can be named by the user, switching between windows will be easier.

Scrolling the tab bar should skip hidden child tabs

Amnykon 7 years ago 0
When I hide a part of a tree, I am saying I don't want to see this right now. These hidden tabs should be skipped when using the scroll wheel to switch pages in sidebar.

Optimizing load times?

nao 7 years ago updated 7 years ago 0

So I now have 3304 tabs in my Opera browser, thanks to the latest move to unlimited storage. This is life-changing, no longer having to bother keeping the tab count below 2000. (And yes, if you're wondering, I'm mostly trying to ascertain the 'new limits' offered to me. I'll eventually drop my tabs below 2000 again, because that's what works best for me.)


However, the more tabs I have, the longer it takes to start Opera. It first shows me the main window, then the Sidewise bar, then after a while the page tree shows up, with 'Last session', which then automatically gets turned into 'Window' (current session), and all tabs show up, but they're all in Hibernated view.


This is when it gets 'interesting'. The Sidewise panel subsequently freezes. I can occasionally access its scrollbar to reach the end, but that's all. It progressively removes Hibernating mode from all tabs sequentially, until it reaches the end, so I've gotten used to just checking out where it's at currently. Today I metered that phase duration, and it lasted for a whopping 25 minutes. I've learned to do other things, or just not use the sidebar (and just browse in a single tab) while the bar is loading, but it *is* a little strange that Sidewise would take 25 minutes to load the page tree status for 3300 tabs. That's barely one tab per second..?! Since the slowdown gets exponentially longer as the tab number grows, I'm thinking perhaps each tab restore is doing an operation that manipulates ALL tabs by mistake. I suppose the slowdown lies in the restoreNodeFromRecentlyClosedTree function (background.js), perhaps something about the ghost tree..?


After that phase, the sidebar is still frozen for a while... I'd say a minute or so. It's acceptable though. What I'd really like is to find the bottleneck for the 'hibernated to not hibernated' transformation phase. Any ideas?

Chrome : Sidewise not keeping track of tabs properly even pressing F5

Great add on. You need an option that if a tab was unhibernated(o0epend) from the hibernated state, if get closed in ANY way, except the x button in the sidewise panel, then it is not removed in the sidewise panel, but goes back to hibernated.

Add date stamp to "Last Session" names

Mr B 7 years ago 0

Hi


I can see several tab folders called "Last Session", but other than the number of tabs within, no other distinguishing features.

Please can you add the time/date stamp to these Last Session names to aid identification and sorting?
