Save to bookmarks or sync. #1

I like your extension for automatic synchronization of tabs with the workspace. It works just how I want. Because I don't want to loose my tabs.

But I work on different computers sometimes.

So the better solution would be saving to bookmarks. Another solution would be to use chrome sync. But bookmarks are more universal.

By saving to bookmarks I mean the same as sync: on every tab change, modify the bookmarks accordingly.

The bookmarks solution is much more preferable. That way I could easily start using something instead of chrome.

Vote for this feature.

In my use case, I want to save all tabs of a workspace into a bookmark folder.

The reason is that sometimes I will archive a workspace. I'm no longer need it, so I will remove this workspace. But I want to save its resources (all urls of tabs), in case that I need it someday.

Oh it just occurred me that in chrome, you can directly save all tabs in a window to bookmark by right-clicking blank space in header. It just meets my need.

But automatic sync workspace in bookmark is also useful and convenient. :)

I mean it seems that options are already using sync storage. Any particular reason, why the workspace entities are not stored with the sync API?

vsmejkal commented 1 year ago

@cgrotz Sync storage is not used for workspace entities because it puts strict limits on storage size and read/write operations. See https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/storage/#property-sync

if storage size is not enough you could use gdrive or onedrive as a replacement (like floccus is doing to store bookmarks).
