11 months ago Downgrading to Tab Master 2.0 did not solve this issue. I am hesitant to go any lower given compatibility with SteamOS 3.5.
The issue began after Decky would not load and I upgraded to the pre-release (see https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/issues/568)

11 months ago Moving SteamOS from Beta to Stable resolved this. I had issues at the time with applying Community control profiles in Stable. Unrelated, this also seems to be resolved.

They shipped beta to stable. We've fixed it but Decky is experiencing issues publishing plugin updates right now. You can manually install v2.4.0 from the releases here on GitHub if you want the update sooner

10 months ago Since the main TabMaster page just says to update via Decky's plugin store, here's how to do it via GUI:
The Game Mode native option is to Enable "Developer mode" in Decky's general options, then go to Developer in the left side of options and choose Install Plugin from ZIP File, then point it to the zip you downloaded from the 2.4.0 release page, and reboot your Deck. This is probably easiest. Though if you want to do it manually, here's how:
Note: You'll have to edit the permissions on /home/deck/homebrew/plugins/TabMaster to allow write access to the folder.
And via terminal: $ chmod -R ugo+w /home/deck/homebrew/plugins/TabMaster $ cd ~/Downloads/ $ unzip TabMaster_v2.4.0.zip #I think SteamOS comes with unzip. I don't remember if I added it myself or not. $ rm -rf /home/deck/homebrew/plugins/TabMaster/ $ mv TabMaster/ ~/homebrew/plugins/TabMaster $ rmdir TabMaster $ chmod -R ugo-w /home/deck/homebrew/plugins/TabMaster

Note: You'll have to edit the permissions on /home/deck/homebrew/plugins/TabMaster to allow write access to the folder.
1. Open Dolphin file browser 2. Open "homebrew" 3. Find and Left Trigger on "plugins" and select Properties. 4. Select the Permissions tab and set Owner to "Can View & Modify Content", then select OK at the bottom. 5. Open "plugins" 6. Delete the "TabMaster" folder 7. Go back up one directory to "homebrew" with the < (back) button of Dolphin 8. Open the .zip file you got from https://github.com/Tormak9970/TabMaster/releases/tag/v2.4.0 and extract so the TabMaster folder goes into the "plugins" folder. You can drag and drop it onto the "plugins" folder if you want to. Make sure the "TabMaster" folder lands inside the "plugins" folder, and not in the "homebrew" folder. 9. Left Trigger "plugins" again, click "Permissions" and set the permissions back to "Can Only View Content". 10. Boot back into Game Mode and see that TabMaster works again, without losing your settings.And via terminal: $ chmod -R ugo+w /home/deck/homebrew/plugins/TabMaster $ cd ~/Downloads/ $ unzip TabMaster_v2.4.0.zip #I think SteamOS comes with unzip. I don't remember if I added it myself or not. $ rm -rf /home/deck/homebrew/plugins/TabMaster/ $ mv TabMaster/ ~/homebrew/plugins/TabMaster $ rmdir TabMaster $ chmod -R ugo-w /home/deck/homebrew/plugins/TabMaster
You should be able to install via Decky's install from zip feature (you may need to restart after installing it if it does not show up immediately). To do so:

10 months ago I was able to successfully install 2.4 manually, but now all of the default Steam Tabs I had hidden (which are supposed to be locked with the Steam Logo) disappeared. I was able to recreate my custom tabs but all the default ones disappeared in TabMaster. Not a big deal but any idea why? Thanks!

Sounds like Decky overwrote your settings or something. That's quite odd, not sure why

10 months ago Hmm, I have a feeling it has something to do with manually changing the permissions and deleting the TabMaster folder in /homebrew/plugins before extracting the v2.4 ZIP there. I did this because even with permissions on for root and all subfolders, it wouldn't overwrite the existing version.
I later remembered that you can install plugins from a link or ZIP file in Gaming Mode with Dev Mode enabled, but it was too late at that point.

Thanks for the quick replies!
Is there per chance way to restore them? I'm about to swap to a new Deck when my OLED comes in a few days so it'll be a non-issue, but I'm curious for my future reference if there is an easy way to restore those kind of files.

Sadly no, if they're overwritten like it sounds. Normally, they're preserved across updates
