Explain what each option means
grahamperrin opened this issue · comments
I can save, e.g. for https://www.who.int/teams/risk-communication my preferred title is:
EPI-WIN: WHO information network for epidemics
– then when I view preferences for the extension, the title is listed.
However when I restart the browser, the list of saved titles is (if I'm not mistaken) always empty.
Environment
- Tab ReTitle 1.5.2
- Firefox 74.0
- FreeBSD-CURRENT
At https://firefox-storage-test.glitch.me/ for all four subsystems:
Good: Totally Working. (fullyOperational)
Thoughts
Should I assume an extensions conflict?
Other enabled extensions include Simple Tab Groups and Tree Style Tab.
If it helps to identify a cause of this issue:
- if I disable Tab Retitle then enable Rename Tab Title, titles set with Rename Tab Title are persistent.
@grahamperrin I don't think there would be a conflict unless you are using other extensions to also rename the tab. Are you using the option "only exact match" or "set for this domain"? Because the first two options "only this time" and "set for this tab" won't persist after you restart the browser. I'm thinking of having a way to persist "set for this tab" across sessions, but I'm not sure if it would work at all (since it uses tab ID number which resets when you restart the browser)
Ah, OK
… "only this time" and "set for this tab" won't persist …
I assumed that setting for the tab would be a persistent setting for the tab.
Might the word session be better? To be honest, I'm no longer sure what's meant by this time.
it means that the title will persist even if you go to different websites, as long as it's in the same tab. It just happens to be reset after a restart.
only this time basically means it won't try to even persist the tab title if it changes, either by going to a different page or by another script
Thanks for the clarification. No losses, since I began using the appropriate option.
If you like, treat this as a documentation issue; otherwise close it.
Thanks again for your time
