wrap text
Just discovered Sidewise and loving it - except that text in the notepad does not wrap. (I'm new to Chrome and am used to Opera's notepad sidebar, or Quicknote or MiniPad2.) I will use this A LOT if can get my notes wrapping!
Also would love to be able to save more than one note - though knowing me, better to limit how many or I'll just give myself dozens of to-come-back-to memos ;)
What OS are you using?
I'm running Windows 7 here and the text in the Notepad pane does wrap as one would expect for me.
Sidewise is great - looking for a way to backup & transfer
I really like Sidewise. It's easy to use and lets me handle all my open tabs in an intuitive way. If you need a Chrome tab manager, this is the one to get - I really do mean that! Excellent job, Joel!
With that said, here's what I'm having problems with:
1) How do I protect all the time I'm putting in to create my tab outline? In other words, how can I back up my outline? If I can't protect my outline, I can't use it.
2) Actually could become part of number 1 - How do I copy my outline from my desktop to my laptop? If I have to recreate everything, I'm wasting my time and won't do it.
Just released the new version, which includes the basic export/import functionality mentioned below.
---
I have some (admittedly rather primitive) export/import functions coming in the next version. Basically you will be able to export all of Sidewise's settings and data to your clipboard, which you can then save to a text file. For the import side, you reverse the process (paste some previously exported data into a text box in Sidewise).
Longer term, I'll be looking at ways of exporting/importing that don't involve the clipboard, such as storing your data in a database that I host on http://sidewise.info. I also plan to do something along the lines of automatic periodic backups of your data, along with something like a drop-down list on the options page that lets you choose to restore everything to one of the saved "earlier versions" on demand.

There should be a search box on http://sidewise.userecho.com/ that provides at least decent searching capabilities across the Sidewise feature requests posted there.

Planned.
Enable Search to search content of pages instead of just titles & URLs
Awesome plugin! Would love to have "search titles and URLs" become "search titles, URLs, and content in pages"
Monitor detection.
I have a laptop (Windows 7) with an external monitor attached and have the display settings to only show content on monitor 2; however, your stupid extension uses monitor 1 which isn't even on and throws Chrome over to it so I can't even see it. You don't get to decide which monitor I put Chrome in.
Anyway, the bug: I tried to move the Chrome window on monitor 1 and Chrome completely disappeared.
While Chrome is active, can you use Win+Right / Win+Left keys or Win+Shift+Right / Win+Shift+Left keys to move the Chrome window and Sidewise sidebar to the desired monitor? These key combinations are built into Windows 7 to allow you to move things between monitors even when you can't see them.
Comment/function request
I wish know if it is possible to see a scrolling tab list under the bulb icon (rather than a window, docked or not); if it is possible to disable the last sessions list, maybe replacing it with only an item which open the history (session history tends to take a lot of space); and if it possible (I don't think so, actually) to disable the standard chrome tab view (which is useless while a tab extension is active)
Hi, hibernating tabs after x seconds
Latest SW and Chrome 30.0.1599.69 m no longer stay 'together'
If I minimise / maximise the chrome window from the taskbar, SW used to hide / pop to the top of the window stack. But this no longer works. SW is hide / restoring, but not coming to the top when the Chrome window does. I'm afraid I can't remember when this started - if it was the last SW update or the Chrome update... For info, I don't have the 'Keep sidebar visible' option checked - I never have, but SW used to still come to the top. I'm not sure how / why, but it was great as it didn't cause the focus flickering or Alt-Tab annoyance. Shame it's stopped working though...
windows 8 mode
I found a serious problem. I switched Chrome to Windows 8 mode (sidewise open as a tab) then switched back to Desktop mode. Since that moment I couldn't use your program, because whenever it is docked to the window it runs in full screen mode and the browser is docked to an invisible - "unclickable" part of the screen. To resolve the problem I clicked on the options icon, pushed F11, undock sidewise, close everything, restart chrome and in the first 1-2 second right clicked on the narrow titlebar and choosed "full size". I will reinstall application and hope it forget it's bad habbit.
Tabs losing sync after google search from omnibox
I think I've finally pinned down at least one cause of tabs losing sync between SW and Chrome - at least it seems reproducible for me now.
Simply open a new tab, then do a google search directly in the omnibar - make sure it's a true search and doesn't autocomplete a URL. When the search page results are displayed, the SW tab shows 'XYZ - Google Search'. Then click on the top link - for me at least the SW tab stays as 'XYZ - Google Search' and from now on, the link is lost - no amount of refreshing will bring it back. On restarting SW via the extensions tab, I see the 'XYZ - Google Search' as a hibernated tab, and the live page as a new tab, fully functioning again.
Hope you're able to reproduce it :)
