Using across profiles

[ebridges]

Thanks for a really exciting, interesting venture!

I have two different profiles logged into chrome (one for "work" and one for "home"). I tried configuring two copies of the repo, one per profile, and two mounts appear in the list generated by mount.

I mount the first, and can ls the tabs by-title. After mounting the second, I'm able to ls tabs-by-title for the second, but the first now errors with Device not configured.

Any pointers to where in the configuration I should tweak to better isolate these two profiles?

s/account/profile/g

The persons, identities, whatever are called profiles both in chrome and ff.

(not to pick on, but would make it better to understand)

Thanks! I never thought about that -- I'm actually surprised it comes so close to working, but it makes sense.

Right now, TabFS kills all other instances of TabFS on startup. It's possible that just commenting out that system(killcmd) (and then rerunning make) will fix your problem.

(you might then need to kill any tabfs instances yourself before reloading the extension in both browsers)

Thanks for the tip! I've updated accordingly.

That in fact did it! It's a bit cumbersome to maintain a copy of this repo for each profile, but I'll see where this leads me. Thanks!

Cool! Let's leave this issue open until we make this work better out of the box.

I think with the latest releases, you can at least set an environment variable instead of needing different repos.

We should probably narrow the kill to only apply to instances that would share the same mount point, or the same browser state, or something like that.
