[Feature Suggestion] Ignore tabs moved to an existing container by context menu in automatic mode #428

Closed Termuellinator closed 4 years ago

Termuellinator commented 4 years ago

Hi, i love this addon, but have a small suggestion that would make life a bit easier :)

When in Automatic Mode and want to move a temporary tab (or any tab for that matter) to a permanent one by rightclick -> "open in container" it gets reverted to a new temporary container immediately. So if you want to do that (for example to add this domain to MACs "always open in") you have to suspend isolation first.

I don't know if it is possible to discern tabs opened by clicking a link from ones opened by "rmb -> open in container", but if that's possible, it would be great to have the option to automatically suspend automatic mode for these tabs :+1:

Hey, thanks again.

That sounds like you activated Isolation > Multi-Account Containers. Unfortunately there's no workaround yet. See also #170

Termuellinator commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the quick answer! I had that enabled, yes. I thought that was what i wanted, but thanks you your link (didn't find that when searching, sorry) i noticed that to achieve isolation from permanent containers for external links i can also use the global setting "Navigation/Different from Tab and Domain & Subdomain".

I guess i understood the Isolation -> Multi Account Containers wrong - what is the intended usecase for this compared to the global navigation setting?

Happy it works for you.

Maybe the wiki page does help clarify the intended use case? If it doesn't, please let me know.

Btw, there's also an advanced > keyboard shortcut in the preferences to globally toggle isolation which might be helpful in this case (I'm using it a lot :D).

Termuellinator commented 4 years ago

i haven't looked at the shortcuts since i decided to use automatic mode, but good to know anyway ^^ And i really misunderstood MAC isolation then, i didn't catch it having a own wiki-page but only read the one about keeping logins ^^
