Multiple Tabs Navigate Together #1441

Open GuyPaddock opened 5 years ago

GuyPaddock commented 5 years ago

It appears that if you are logged-in to the same session in Pydio across multiple tabs, then whenever you navigate to a page in one tab, the other tabs navigate there as well.

This is particularly a problem if you are in a break-fix cycle of adjusting meta.mount workspace access driver settings because you will lose access to the site if your settings are wrong. Basically, if a mount fails, the regular site (i.e. the part outside "Settings") becomes inaccessible because it only displays a stack trace. But since the page you were trying to access seems to be stored in the session, if you go back to the tab where you are making changes to settings, it appears that Pydio tries to redirect you in that tab to the page that's error-ing out. As a result, you lose all access to the site in that browser session.

I have found that opening an incognito window for testing is an adequate workaround for the fact that the navigation between tabs is linked. This is still not ideal as a solution for the end-users we will be supporting with this Pydio install.

Hi Guy, having a second session open in an incognito mode is the best option to avoid being locked out on a mis-configuration...
