Import hidden tabs into a "hidden" container #235

Closed devurandom closed 5 years ago

devurandom commented 6 years ago

The TabGroups addon left a lot of tabs in "hidden":true state in sessionstore.js. It would be great if Conex would be able to import them into a "hidden" container, unless they were also marked with a groupID (#234) by TabGroups.

hey: sorry for the very late reply: I was kind of off the grid for a while :/

Is sessionstore used to restore a session? It's not a backup either, is it? I am surprised this works at all. I would need such a file to fix this, as I don't have one. Cheers

Coming from #234:

The TabGroups addon left some data behind in sessionstore.js. There are fields extData > tabview-tab > groupID for every tab and a set of extData > tabview-groups > {activeGroupId, activeGroupName} (per-window?).

It would be great if Conex would pick up this data and allow me to automatically create containers from these groups.

Note that the hidden attribute mentioned in this issue belongs to Firefox directly, and thus would be necessary for generic support for importing already hidden tabs. The attributes mentioned in #234 on the other hand refer to custom data the original TabGroups extension added, and thus would be necessary only for importing tabs that were once managed by the TabGroups extension.

sorry, long time no comments. I think I don't want to invest time on this anymore as the the TabGroups days are long over ... sorry :(
