Open tabs from synced devices in current panel #430

Open ErikSteiner opened 3 years ago

Description

If I open a lot of tabs from my mobile phone on the computer, it adds them to my last panel. It would be nice to open them in the current panel, from where you open those tabs.

I think this is a dupe of : https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/issues/324

But I also really want this feature. I'd bounty up for it if it would help it be implemented...

I suppose you are using Synced Tabs Sidebar to do this. If you switch to that sidebar, the browser will close Sidebery and then all newly opened tabs will get placed to the end of the nav bar as listeners are unloaded. When you switch back to Sidebery, it then register those new tabs by their order on the nav bar, and thus they are at the last panel.

One quick fix it is to refrain from using sidebar version of Synced Tabs, but using the toolbar version instead. If you have "hide tabs of inactive panel" on, you can take a look at #425 where I reposition new tabs so they are in the current panel.
