TO Window Order => force corresponding order for GC Windows on XFCE taskbar? #154

People,

This is a question rather than an issue.  I like it that I can order windows in Tab
Organiser but when I have more than a couple I would like the order to correspond to
the order of the Google-Chrome windows on the XFCE taskbar - is it possible for Tab
Organiser to change this order when it changes the order of windows in the TO window?
 Would it also be possible to remember these window positions from session to session?

Thanks,

Phil.

No, sorry. Chrome doesn't allow extensions to do that, and I'm not entirely sure even
full-blown desktop apps can do that.

The window order (in Tab Organizer) should be saved between Chrome sessions... if it
isn't, that's likely a bug in Chrome, which would be quite difficult to work around.

So if I change the window order in TO, exit GC with the Spanner/exit option (as opposed
to closing the GC windows sequentially) and then reload GC, the GC windows should be
in the order that I reordered in TO?  I don't think that works - I will check again
. .

Thanks,

Phil.

Well, no, the window order is entirely controlled by Chrome: it's *always* in the order
that you created the windows.

When I said that the window order should be saved, I was referring to saving it in
the order they were created.

Unfortunately, I can only change the displayed order in Tab Organizer, not in Chrome
itself.

Version 5 of Tab Organizer will use virtual tabs/groups. That doesn't fix this issue,
but it does invalidate it, because there's no longer a 1-to-1 relationship between
Tab Organizer and Chrome.

In other words, you can now keep all your tabs in one giant window, while still separating
them into virtual groups in Tab Organizer.
