How to open a Search++ tab? #176

Closed ttamttam closed 1 year ago

ttamttam commented 2 years ago

It's certainly something obvious… but I could find how to do that.

Best regards

ttamttam commented 2 years ago

Well. I eventually found a solution: I added a button in the toolbar for this. Any other solution?

I have got the same question : how to access this feature ? I have spend quite some time searching, to no avail. @ttamttam How did you add a button in the toolbar ?

opto commented 2 years ago

there should be a so called browseraction button close to the hamburger menu. Its icon is (here on win 11 and Ubuntu 20) a searchglass, followed by a ++.

If you don't have this button visible, please specify your operating system, so I can report to the TB team.

There is still a bug: after a TB restart, if you want to open a new tab for a new directory, you need to close old already open tabs. Within a TB session, there is no problem to open several tabs.

I will put more help into the startup document for next version. The bugfix will come ca. within the next week.

please rightclick on the toolbar, select customize and see if they can re-add the button (advice from TB team)

if not, it would be a bug

Oh. My reply to https://github.com/opto/nostalgy-xpi/issues/176#issuecomment-1120779821 by e-mail did not show up here. Sorry for that.

What I wrote was confirmed by @opto last comment:

Right-clic on the toolbar -> Customize

and drag'n drop the lens icon (with a "++" label, if I remember correctly) on the toolbar.

Best regards

No, the icon was not visible automatically (windows 10 pro 64 bits; TB 91.9.0 32bits), but I was able to add it easily. Thanks for this wonderful improvement.

opto commented 2 years ago

I was told some errors of that are already fixed in 102, so we can only file a bug if it still occurs in a fresh 102 profile

ThomasHeinrichSchmidt commented 2 years ago

Using TB 91.9.0 on Windows 10 the Search++ button was displayed by itself: Issue176

opto commented 1 year ago

seems I can close this ...
