Save/restore opened tabs on closing to tray [feature-request] #23

Closed ngo closed 12 years ago

ngo commented 12 years ago

It would be great if, on closing the main skypetab window (when it stays open and is accessible via tray), skypetab would remember open tabs and reopen them later.

[As a proposal]: Perhaps the opened tabs could even survive program shutdown (reopened on startup with their previous contents preserved). This would definnitely be a killer-feature (compare with having browser tabs preserved over a shutdown, which is very convenient)

[As an aside] I personally would greatly benefit from this as will possibly everyone using tiling window managers (awesome, xmodnad, etc): I don't minimize windows at all (and do not have the ability to do that anyway, because window decorators are absent), that's why I close the window and reopen it as needed. But the tabs are gone(((

I'd like to have such feature too. even with standard nautilus =)

kekekeks commented 12 years ago

Done. Check settings.

sweah commented 12 years ago

hi,

maybe i'm kind of blind, but i can't find the settings dialogue! Can you help me, please?

kekekeks commented 12 years ago

Right click on the tray icon->SkypeTab->Settings

sweah commented 12 years ago

okay, i'm not blind. i run skypetab on an ubuntu 11.10 x64 machine and there is no skype-tab entry in the tray icon menu. is there any other way?? thank you for your answer!!

sweah commented 12 years ago

sni-qt is installed and I do have a Skype icon, but no entry for Skype-Tab

kekekeks commented 12 years ago

Are you sure that it's Skype's tray icon (not messaging menu icon)? Have you compiled it from source or installed from ppa:keks9n/skypetab?

sweah commented 12 years ago

i have messaging menu icon AND Skype's tray icon and installed it from ppa:keks9n/skypetab.

kekekeks commented 12 years ago

Can I see your sources.list, sources.list.d and /var/lib/dpkg/status?

sweah commented 12 years ago

In what form do you want to see them? Shall I post them here, or send the Files to you?

kekekeks commented 12 years ago

Just upload files somewhere. I'll try to install the same system configuration and see what's wrong. Or just add a new button to skype's toolbar.

works fine for me =) thanks =)

ngo commented 12 years ago

Works for me as well. Thanks!

The problem with the settings dialogue is Unity-specific. If I choose Gnome Shell as my Desktop with the same user, I have a Skyp-Tab Option in tray icon and managing settings is no problem. If I go back to Unity, the changes take effect, but there's still no Skype-Tab entry. But it's a workaround to change settings :)
