TO Window Order => force corresponding order for GC Windows on XFCE taskbar? #155

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

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.
