Some suggestions for managing tabs sessions better #21

Hi, as I'm trying to configure Chrome as the main browser (longtime Firefox user), somehow I found your extension. Session Buddy is popular for some obvious reasons, but unfortunately it lacks the most important feature: "drag & drop", eventhough the dev promised to implement that more than 1 year ago. Currently I have 8 tab-management extensions installed :D, and with some experience using the famous Tab Mix Plus & Session Manager on Firefox, I would like to suggest some features that I think we should focus first to improve Better-Onetab.

  1. Currently, the tab lists are displayed in one column, showing around 10-15 links each scroll (Page Up/Page Down): List A (20 links) on the top, List B (30 links) below, List C (30 links) below... So if we want to move one link from list C to list A, we have to drag the link through some scrolling which would take time, beside the fact that each tab title/link takes one row which would also waste space. An efficient and intuitive way is to have an option of displaying tab lists in more columns (maybe max 4), somewhat similar to Tab Organizer Also, enable ticking/selecting several tabs to move. image

  2. Enable saving permanent lists in which links are not removed when restored. Obviously, have a separate and easy-to-figure-out section/color/label/background for this type of lists.

That's all. Hope that we can see these new features soon before other appearance/decoration improvements :)

Hi, just add a sample mockup for the suggested feature:

Hi, Thank you for your suggestion. I think I've understood your meaning. I am trying to allow displaying lists as multi-column like google keep. This has been included in the todo list. I am thinking about if it is needed to make a waterfall stream. Because we allow the list panel to expand, it will cause the height changes. So a waterfall stream will resort. I think this a question. I am trying to solve it. It is welcome to share your ideas about it.

Sorry, as English is not my native language and I'm not a savvy tech, so I don't get what "waterfall stream" means in this situation. Can you explain more what you mean about "waterfall stream"?

However, my idea is a column will have a fixed size of displaying 15-20 tabs links at maximum, if there are more tabs links there will be a scroll bar for users to scroll and find.

Some UI like this for tab groups would be better if you have many (1 line in a customisable number of column and collapsable tab group) https://gyazo.com/95d8a888207b9c173f75af6e0df06c8e İt would be very good if you can also reposition tab groups by dragging https://i.gyazo.com/de71c157e94331bfab14feb3be820dd7.mp4 And if there is some dragging functionality for the links to transfer between tab groups it would be godlike. https://i.gyazo.com/c7fc7ed25eae21917c3efb98f04d5d79.mp4
