tabhamster's Issues

TabHamster Suddenly Disappeared

Thanks for this great extension for Opera.

Last night there was a power outage, and when I restarted the system, the extension had gone. Yes just like that... suddenly disappeared.

I could always install again, but the problem is that there was a long list of important sites in the SAVED GROUPS for a research that I am doing.

Is there a way to get them back? (please treat this as urgent)

Saving tabs along with their tab history

I know that there was a demand several years ago for chrome to add support for accessing tab history (mostly for session manager use cases). It took google several years to finally add the API, and I wonder does this session manager happen to already support it?

If not I am willing to take a stab at implementing it. I have done a lot of research on the subject and many people want this feature (including me). It would surely be a popularity winning item as I have tried dozens of SM ext. looking for one that supported the API and none did. Perhaps there exists one but I couldnt find it.

Being able to access the history of saved tabs and restore them into individual tabs would suffice but I do wonder is it possible to actually restore a tab with its history state? I wish it to be so but I Google wouldn't want to add such a specific API. Any knowledge you may have in this area would be helpful.

Thank you for your time

All saved groups lost

Hi,

all my saved groups have disappeared. I have searched under Opera, under the extensions, and also the settings. I can't find the tabs again.
So my question is, where and how does TabHamster save the tabs?
Best regards,
Dave

Feature Request - "open group" function

I would like to close all currently open tabs and replace them with the group i want to open, when i decide to open a group.

It could be an configuration or another key-combination like the key-combination (Ctrl + click) for "Open in new Window".

This would be very usefull.

Does not open all tabs

*When opening a previous session, tabs from multiple windows are all opened in one window.
*When opening a window from a previous session, not all tabs are opened.
*Cannot leave TabHamster popup up when opening tabs manually.
*Cannot leave opened tab(s) unloaded to conserve memory/bandwidth without disabling network connection.

[FEATURE] Drag-n-drop between groups?

Hi, lovely extension! I was wondering if it would be possible to add drag-n-drop of tabs between groups (I've tried dragging the link and the edit icon but neither allows drag-n-drop)?

Thanks again!

Saved groups gone on opera

I'm sure I didn't update the browser since the last time I restored a saved group.
Also I didn't have any bad shutdown.
Windows 10 1803 x64
opera 54.0.2952.71

I have full disk backups that should have the saved groups I lost, any way to recover them?
Let me know you if you need more information

Reqesting new feature

I like your exension very much .... it is quite useful... i just wanted one thing more that it would be better if i was somehow able to export the links or copy all the links of the group together at once ....

Restore tabs don't work

There were 22 open tabs when Opera dicided to crash and forget them:

And now when trying to restore them by clicking one of the lines I get 10-13 tabs from 22.

Due to #15 I can't even see the tabs inside the sessions.

not complaining... would like a non-monospaced font option...

Everything else is great so far... just not crazy about the monospaced font. Might be nice to have another option, that's all :-)

Otherwise, thank you for this extension XD

Reorder tabs inside groups feature

Reorder the tabs inside the group like reorder the groups would be a wonderfull feature in the future

Great job!
Thanks

Do not close interface upon clicking one link

Please add the option to NOT close the interface upon clicking one link on a saved tab.
Sometimes a user might want to open different links from a saved group, but not all the links. Having to open the interface again, and find the group name again, is rather annoying.

If someone wants to close the interface, let them do it themselves.

Get title from the URL if it's not specified by user (manual url adding)

Add current tab button

При клике на кнопку + "добавить ссылку в группу" хорошо бы автоматически заполнять поля Заголовок и url с текущей активной вкладки.

Close all tabs after save on `Ctrl + click`

Ctrl + click on 'Create new Group' input field - save and close all tabs

Migrate to manifest v3

Include MM-DD-YYYY date format

A MM-DD-YYYY date format would be nice to have for users in the US.

Option to place TabHamster on Opera sidebar

Изложу пожелание по-русски. К сожалению, «Опера» до сих пор с момента переезда на Blink не позволяет перемещать иконки расширений по основной панели инструментов. И когда их установлено более 15, то самые поздние попросту не появляются на тулбаре. Лишь после того, как вручную отключаешь старые.
Зато с 29-ой версии в браузер внедрили боковую панель для расширений, которая выглядит очень удобно и куда при необходимости тоже можно добавлять иконки. Это частично избавляет от беспокойства, как уместить два десятка расширений в окне браузера, и этим начали пользоваться разработчики некоторых других расширений (e.g., Raindrop, SimpleExtManager) ― предоставляя юзеру выбор, где будет находиться иконка. Впрочем, пока хорошего менеджера сессий для боковой панели лично я не нашел в каталоге адд-онов «Оперы», так что буду рад, если TabHamster пропишется там. :)

Option to restore only those tabs that aren't opened already.

Use case: some tabs lost and I need to restore them from saved session, without messing with already existing tabs and duplicates.

Unable to synchronize (Opera 28)

Hi!

What am I doing wrong when TabHamster does not synchronize? I am using Opera 28 at home and at work (with synchronization enabled of course) and can't get it to work :-/

Anyone else has this issue?

[FEATURE] Cron/Daily backup

As I understand it, tabHamster saves the session when the browser is closed. Problem is that since some years I started working on OSX, and I never shut down the machine, I just put it to sleep. This makes the backups a lot more less frequent (only on updates where a restart is required). I would love for an option where instead I can decide to make the backup daily.

P.S.:I've used tabHamster for years and it saved me from mental breakdown several times.
For this I want to thank onikienko and the other people that worked on this project.

feature request: save only elected tabs

the nice feature not many knows about: you can select several tabs by clicking them while holding ctrl or shift.

it would be the great feature for TabHmster: select tab one wants to save, click icon, save tabs.

e.g. as for me, i rarely need to save whole window, most times just part of it. yeas, there is workaround, select needed tabs, drag them to empty window, save. but it's inconvenient, cuz it messes workflow up.

Ability to switch storage to local (not sync.)

This will help solve problem of saving a large number of tabs.

save to exist group

Add button (like an Open in new window) to saved group list to save (rewrite) session to existing group. Will be useful for forums reading.

Too Many Tabs Error

Gettiing "Can't save to sync storage. Too many tabs. Try to close one more."

This is frustrating.

I wish I could do as many as I'd like, or for it to at least tell me how many I need to close.

My storage is only at 7.58%

storing of browsing history for each tab

Such an opportunity was available in the previous version of the browser with a built-in session manager. Tabs preserved along with the history of browsing on these tabs. After restoring the saved session, you could use the "back" button to previous pages view on any of the tabs.

search for groups and tabs

Open tabs as "pinned tabs"

would it be possible to open all tabs as pinned tabs?
if possible, it helps out a lot with clutter.

Where in my PC is my tabhamster bookmarks and session saved to locally?

Somebody answer please.

Feature Request: Delayed Tab Loading

Opera by default when opening a session with lots of tabs, opens them "lazily" with the setting: "Delay loading of background tabs", only the active tab is actually loaded. This means session loading is very fast. TabHamster currently forces all tabs to be loaded, which is slower and uses much more RAM.

Would be great to get a delayed tab loading option for TabHamster. TabPacker does this using a button per tab which auto-triggers a load on activation of the tab.

Unfolding the group does not work in Opera Next

Unfolding the group by pressing a gray triangle does not work in current Opera Next (25.0.1614.35)

Open in new window doesn't open tabs

In Opera 22 on windows7 64, the button "Open in new window" next to the session name doesn't work.
A new window is opened, but not the tabs associated to the session or saved group.

Autosave open session

Hi @onikienko,

Thanks for this great extension. TabHamster is the best session manager that I have found so far because of its simplicity!

One question that I cannot figure out myself. I have created three distinct sessions. What I usually do is to open a session and work on it, i.e. opening new tabs and deleting old ones. Thus, the status of my named session has changed. In order to save this new state, I first need to delete the current tab session to create a new one with exactly the same name.

Have I overlooked an auto-save or save-under-same-name feature?

Thankfully,

Robert

sync thru free cloud service

Add option for sync thru free cloud service, like a google, box, dropbox and etc...
thx!

Unable to expand sessions on Opera 25 developer for Linux

Hi, very nice extension, thanks for developing it!

I'm having said problem after upgrading Opera developer for Linux from 24.0.1558.17 to 25.0.1583.1 on Slackware 14.1 under KDE SC 4.12.5.

Is this a known issue? Can I do something to help debug it?

Confirmation before delete!

I like your extension a lot, great job. Can you just add the option to ask for a confirmation before deleting saves groups.

[DOCS] Its "Chrome Web Store" not "Chrome Market" + Its "Opera add-ons" not "Opera Market"

[Feature Request] Confirmation to open a group to prevent an accidental group click

Sometime of accidental click a group it does spam for opening tabs. Better to make a confirmation dialog if a group having more than 1 link.

[FEATURE] Manual Import / Export

Would be good to be able to manually import / export (like TabPacker) group data, in case sync fails etc.

Close existing tabs before opening group

Would it be possible to have an option to close all existing (non-pinned) tabs before opening a tab group? This would make it very useful for switching contexts in the same window.
