Too many symbols of the discarded tab. #257

Open hawran opened 2 years ago

hawran commented 2 years ago

After a couple of hours there are too many discarded tab symbols within the window bar.

As a picture is worth a thousand words, I'm attaching a screenshot: 211210-100346 ff AutoTabDiscard

I can't see any use of this.

Go to the options page and clear the "prepend" symbol. When you have too many tabs, having this symbol does not make sense.

Well, if I clear that symbol, there will be none symbol within the discarded tab, right? I would say it is fine to recognise discarded tabs at first glance.

In this case I'd add an extension for vertical tabs.

Can't you just a notification dot to the tabs that are suspended? Something like image this?

That's been in for years, greying out & grey dot:

Well, I could live with that.

I can't still comprehend what is the purpose for adding a new symbol for each new discarding.

As a TreeStyleTab user, my tabs are shown vertically, so I don't mind the symbol. And as a user of multiple extensions that sometimes overlap partially in functionality, I find it useful to know that a bunch of tabs have been unloaded by Auto Tab Discard, instead of whatever else. It helps when something unexpected happens.

I didn't get your point. I've been using Tree Style Tab extension as well. And there's too many discarded tab symbols within the window bar (after some time). And of course, I haven't mentioned that those symbols appear within tabs.

And yes, I'd like to see discarded tabs, however, this could be enough.

@hawran : Please specify which browser and extension version you use, and how many tabs your window contains.

OMG, more info after almost two years? However, I'm not experiencing this issue at the moment, feel free to close this ticket.

It's always a good idea to specify the version when you report the issue ;-)

If anyone experiences this with 0.6.7 or above, please report.
