[Feature Request] Combining trees to a new parent based on title / url keyword matches
chwt opened this issue · comments
I am thinking of a possibility to easily group / combine trees of a Firefox window: The user specifies a grouping keyword. The treestyletab add-on then creates a new tree into which all trees of which its parent matching the keyword, e.g. in the title and/or URL, are moved.
The resulting new tree could be previewed in a dialog window.
Further, an undo is simply done by removing the newly created dummy parent.
I think this should be done by an user script (userChrome.js) or another addon which provides the feature "group new tabs by pre-defined conditions automatically". In other words, I have no plan to add such a feature to TST itself. For such needs, TST has some public APIs to control tree of tabs. See: http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_treestyletab.html.en#api
Because I have very few time to maintain my addons and I cannot maintain too many various features which I never use, I decided to keep codes simple except some cases like locales (translations). I'll implement it or add new APIs for the requirement, if it is really cannot be implemented as an independent addon with existing public APIs. Sorry.
I close this for triage.
