Windows won't restore #217

Open oscarrob754 opened 11 months ago

oscarrob754 commented 11 months ago

I'm on a hotel network away from home and all of a sudden windows won't restore. They save. The tabs are labled but when I try to restore I get nothing.

Try opening the tab manager in its' own tab

Tried that. It didn’t work.

Then I think it's trying to restore the windows to a monitor position that doesn't exist anymore - e.g. if at home/office you have a monitor connected and now you don't.

I also just ran into that.

Seems like a more recent change that windows that are being created by extensions have to cover at least 50% of the screen.

That's probably it since I'm currently in a hotel on my laptop and my home monitor is a widescreen. Any solution?

PS - in chrome on a Macbook M1x at home its connected to a Samsung wide screen

So I found one quick way :

  1. In the options menu - export your sessions image
  2. Open that .json file with some text editor like notepad
  3. Search for any mentions of "top" and "left" that have a negative value : image
  4. Change them to 0 image
  5. Save the file
  6. In the options import it again through "restore sessions" image

Thanks, I'll check it out. JR

Got the same problem but I didn't have any negative numbers. In my case I reset all the positions to 0 and it worked!

MrWaaat commented 8 months ago

Also ran into the same problem. Changed all "top" and "left" in the json file and imported it again and it worked. Why not implement a radio button where you can choose if you want to save the window positions or not and maybe put store window position as Beta? If you choose not to store the window positions all "top" and "left" are put to zero in Tab Manager. Just a suggestion to get around the problem "easy".

This happens constantly in multi-screen configurations, so it would probably be smart to actually fix the code to just min() the size with the size of the screen so that it doesn't completely refuse to open the window but just makes the window smaller. Could this be fixed?
