Feature: Syncing Workspaces

Open RealVishy opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

What feature would you like to see?

This can be split into multiple issues depending on the difficulty of implementing them all.

  • [ ] Syncing Workspaces between computers

  • [ ] Sync Tabs in each workspace between computers

What platform are you seeing the problem on?

Linux

Additional context

I'd find it useful to sync the workspaces so i don't have to create them multiple times on different devices.

Afaik Zen is using Mozilla's Firefox Sync service, don't know if this is possible to sync? Maybe there's a way with using a namespaced bookmark folder or something?

For anyone on MacOS, simple workaround: You can copy the profiles ~/Library/Application\ Support/zen/Profiles/ maintaining the names of the parent directories on the new installation.

This is quite literally not the point. The point is to not use file copy and file synchronization - which can lead to sync issues if you use more than one device at the same time.

Yes this is a simple workaround for anyone migrating workspaces with dozens of tabs to more than one device. Using this with iCloud is also viable.

Is there currently a solution for syncing workspaces/tabs from two computers (one Windows and another Mac)? Is this possible with Mozilla's Firefox Sync in some form?
