Re: Can Edge "save" windows along with the groups/tabs and reopen them as they were when last closed?
astkaasa I'll have to reexamine that feature. As I remember it, it was mainly a colab tool. Perhaps it could keep windows open and ready to reopen should I close one. Thanks!3.5KViews0likes1CommentCan Edge "save" windows along with the groups/tabs and reopen them as they were when last closed?
Short Version: My workflow involves keeping 5 named windows each containing constantly updated groups/tabs. Edge is set to reopen everything at restart. But I'm afraid of accidently closing a window and losing all. Can Edge with or without an extension automatically save each window with its current tabs/groups when I close it, so Edge doesn't have to have all five windows open when I need to work in just one? Longer Version: My work flow demands I generally operate with 5 named windows open. In my Microsoft Edge each window has 3-7 tab groups with a total of about 70-100 tabs open across the 5 windows at any given time. I'm constantly updating the sites in these groups/tabs, and I need to be able to pick up where I left off when relaunch Edge. It is set to do this, so each time I open Edge it opens with 5 windows and approximately 100 tabs. But at times I only need to work in one window, but in order to keep it and the other four current, I have to keep all 5 windows and all 100 tabs open. I find this an obnoxious waste of resources. I would like to be able to open the one window in which I need to work, have all my groups/tabs restored from the last session, and pick up where I left off. If I need to open a second, third, etc. window, I want it to load all the groups/tabs it had open the last time it was used. Currently I must have all 5 windows and all 100 tabs open all the time even if I only need to work within one because there is no way to "save" a window's state. Paranoid that I might accidentally close a window and lose all of its groups and tabs, I regularly save each tab as a collection, but this does not preserve the window setup/structure or the current updated state of each tab. So, the million-dollar question - is there a feature of combination of features in macOS compatible Edge or extension that supports tabs groups and will save a window with all of its groups and tabs in their current state... either automatically or manually? Thanks!5.6KViews0likes6CommentsBing default in mini menu when text selected = Bad Idea!
I used to enjoy the little mini menu that would appear with "copy" etc. when text was selected on a page. But, now that the only primary option is "Search with Bing" and anything else requires an extra click is ridiculous. Now instead of a useful feature it is a hindrance. Two click are required to get to "copy" etc. even if you click somewhere off the mini menu the first click only closes it and I'm forced to right click again just to get the default right-click menu. How do I turn that feature off altogether?843Views1like2CommentsRe: Designate what window new links are opened in
BTTT... I would also like to see this implemented. I click on an external link and must go exploring to find the window in which it opened. Edge Beta doesn't even open in the last window used. I think it's opening in the bottom window, but there's no way to check. I do know it will NOT open in the top window.
