Mouse wheel tab switching is now present in 2012.10.18.1 release. Please see the related options' hint tooltip for the full details.

New version just released. Let me know what you think!

Will be looking at creating a roadmap and "early release version" during this next release cycle.

As a halfway solution, you can shift-click to select the range of pages you want to close in the sidebar, then ctrl-click the page(s) you want to keep open to remove them from the selection, and finally right click one of the selected rows and do "close tab".

I know it's not as handy as a dedicated "close others" action, but it may be more convenient than switching back to Chrome's horizontal tabbar.

Considering the best way to support this. I don't think this is an action that many people would use often, and I also wonder whether we'd also want a "hibernate other" option ... perhaps in addition one would like "close others" vs. "close other branches" and "hibernate others" vs. "hibernate other branches".

Currently considering adding these actions after I add the ability for users to toggle/reorder which items appear in their context menu, and having them be non visible in the context menu by default.

#1: In the next release there will be an 'open new tab' button that appears when you hover a window row in the tree. And you'll also be able to double click in the white space below the tree to open a new tab in the current window. There will also be an option to control what appears in these new tabs.

#2: Unfortunately there's not much that can be done about this: since Sidewise's sidebar is actually just a second Chrome window that is positioned next to the main Chrome window, the main Chrome window has to be unmaximized for both to be visible on a single monitor. Until Chrome team gives extension developers a proper sidebar API we're probably stuck with this behavior.

Donations aren't covering a whole lot at this stage :) But every bit helps. Given Sidewise's small user base and its beta status, I think the users have been quite generous.

Sources definitely coming! Most likely after a couple more "core" features go in, plus some tidying up.

Apologies for the delay - sometimes, life intervenes :)

I expect to release sometime this week. Most everything is working properly, and the known bugs are not show-stoppers.

Good point. I think I will just make clicking the pin icon in the row have no special effect, since unpinning is not a very commonly used action, and you can also right click a row to unpin or pin it from the sidebar if desired.
