Option to bookmark multiple tabs #276

Open tomtom opened 6 years ago

tomtom commented 6 years ago

tabcenter-redux doesn't have trees and groups, which I think is a good thing. Sometimes I wish though there would be a way to bookmark a selection of tabs in a bookmark folder similar to firefox's own "Add bookmark for all tabs ..." feature. Would it be possible to add this feature? IMHO such a feature would be a great replacement for groups since firefox also supports opening all bookmarks in a folder in tabs.

If not, would it be possible to add a feature to move selected tabs to a new window so that I could afterwards use firefox's own "Add bookmark for all tabs ..."?

Regards

The only item I still miss from the native tab context menu is "Bookmark all tabs". All others were progressively added in successive releases. "Bookmark all tabs" was requested in #66 along with the Undo close tab button but only this last one made it to the release and the issue was then closed :(

As a workaround, I use the extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmark-all-button/ I looked a bit at the code of this extension and it's really short and simple so maybe it could be reused here without too much hassle ?

I know there are other issues open to be able to get the real native Firefox tab context menu but that may take a while until Mozilla accepts to do something about it and an even longer time until they really code the API.

For now I'm happy with the workaround though, I don't need to bookmark all tabs very often, so the extra button is hidden in the Overflow menu, taking zero space on screen but still quickly accessible when I need it.

I don't understand your comment since FF's native tab context menu already contains an item "Bookmark all tabs". It's not possible to bookmark selected tabs only.

Well, since I use Tab Center Redux to manage my tabs, I don't see the point of the native tabs, they are just taking up space for nothing so I hide the whole native tab bar through CSS. That means I don't have the native tab context menu => no "Bookmark all tabs". That's why I use a dedicated extension.

But I would prefer this to be integrated in Tab Center context menu directly, that's what I suggested.

That would indeed not cover your whole use case though, since you want only some tabs to be bookmarked.

To be honest I'm mostly waiting on Bug 1376251 to be implemented at this point.

This is a duplicate of #281.

Firefox will soon be getting native support for bookmarking a selection of tabs, too: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1458067
