Discussion - Set Aside Tabs and Warn on Close
Sean, you captured my thoughts precisely! I've been in a bit of a hurry every time I try to get my thoughts on "paper," as it were. I'm not sure if you're saying you don't want or need the ability to name your set aside tabs groups, but I would like to have that option: it's not a deal breaker, but I'd like that.
Anyway, good job with your post.
Regards,
Dan
Dan_AI4GK I wouldn't object to having the option to name groups of set-aside tabs, but given that tab groups are deleted from the sidebar when they are restored, I'm not convinced there's really much value in names -- since they'd "evaporate" any time you restored a tab group.
And if you say "Oh, but the browser could remember and reuse the name if you set aside tabs that came from a named group!", I'll offer these scenarios:
- Set Tabs Aside, name them Fred. Open three tabs, restore Fred. Now you have a mix of Fred tabs and non-Fred tabs. If you set them aside now, what happens?
- Set Tabs Aside, name them Fred. Continue working and Set Tabs Aside again and name this new group Joe. Now restore Fred and also restore Joe. Now you have a mix of Fred tabs and Joe tabs. If you set them aside now, what happens?
seancorfield If there would be an option to keep a tab group after reopening (which I would really love to see, as an option), I would expect/prefer the feature to behave like this in your scenarios:
- By default, pressing Set Tabs Aside would create a new group (single click, no hassle, default behavior).
- Alternatively, I want to have an option to add all open tabs (or single open tab) to an existing group, named or not. Then I would expect all open tabs would be simply added, with removing duplicates.
Set Tabs Aside, name them Fred. Continue working and Set Tabs Aside again and name this new group Joe. Now restore Fred and also restore Joe. Now you have a mix of Fred tabs and Joe tabs. If you set them aside now, what happens?Ummmm... Mayhem?
I do see your point. You would learn very quickly to keep your set-aside tabs pristine. There could be a warning that you have added new tabs; did you want to do that? Like I said, I could live with not naming set-aside tabs; just for my purposes it would help.Regards,
Dan
