Can't save more than 4 groups

Hey @yegorius, it's definitely not clear at the moment but you should be able to scroll that list of tab groups if there are more. Please let me know if that's not the case though, there could be something else going on.
Yes, it feels like I can create additional group, but I can't see it and can't scroll to it. This could be a HiDPI screen issue.
Might be HiDPI, could also be something else. Would you be up for sharing a screenshot of the Tabbie console here?
- Right click on the Tabbie icon
- Click on
inspect popup
- Take a screenshot of the developer console window that appears
Would be interested in seeing if there are any errors there.
Oh my! You're the first person to report this, and I had a feeling it would happen eventually.
The chrome sync API which Tabbie uses has a limit. There's enough tabs saved here to reach that limit.
If you don't mind me asking, could you describe how many tabs you've got open in each tab group?
I'll need to figure out the best way to handle this too, currently the tabs will be synced across browsers. Is that something you would use?
There are 23 tabs in that window. Tab groups sync would be a killer feature. Right now I use the same laptop at home and at work, but I used to have a desktop PC which I sold because I couldn't sync tab groups efficiently :)
@yegorius unrelated, are you using i3 for your manager with ubuntu? What hardware are you using BTW?
Still thinking about how best to solve this, I could add a setting to use local storage so you could save a lot more data. You'd lose the ability to sync these between machines though.
Or I've been thinking about creating a backend to store the data, so you'd be able to sync as many machines as needed. I'd have to host it somewhere so there would be a cost involved with that. Is this a feature you'd be willing to pay for if it worked well?
Having the exact same issue. I use chrome too heavily. Sometimes 6-8 windows summing upto 150-250 tabs for some crazy research stuffs. And hence unable to save those tabs.
Moreover developer console shows the same error.
Right now I don't need the sync feature because I use the same laptop at work and at home. I would rather rely on local storage in my case. But I think tab groups sync is a great feature and other people might need that.
Offtopic: I use i3 with ArchLinux on Dell XPS 15 9550 and 4K screen
One possible solution could be like this:
- Give an option to the user to select storage backend:
a) local, no sync, unlimited space
b) chrome internal store, with sync, limited space - Fail fast. If a user selects internal storage and saves too many tabs, such that QUOTA_BYTES_PER_ITEM exception is raised, show a warning immediately, so that user can save tabs by other means (because I used to loose my tabs a few times this way).
Same issue here, but no errors. I can save the tabs and they'll be added to the list, but when I open Tabbie again the entry is gone.
"Quick" fix:
- Download my fork: https://github.com/kurtextrem/tabbie
- Unzip
- In Chrome, go to
chrome://extensions
, enable dev mode and click Load unpacked extension - select folderdist
Alright guys, here we go, I've published updated Tabbie: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/eiigehbpamofgandbmmokoahhkhbmbld/
