Issue: pinned tabs get overriden

[17twenty]

I have a few pinned tabs that run my day - two Gmail inboxes, a yt music and a trello tab.

The plugin doesn't seem to work nicely with this and has rolled them into a Google tab.

Could it respect pinned tabs?

Great find @17twenty, default behavior should be to leave pinned tabs alone.

Unpinned tabs also stay separated from their categories.

any updates on getting this to ignore pinned tabs?

How about an alternative approach - treat pinned tabs as a kind of pseudo-tab, so you could set up a rule for them. Tabs matching the rule would be automatically pinned.

The pinning would have to always be the first rule, and since the first matching rule wins, tabs matching that rule would always be pinned, never grouped.

I'd be happy to take a run at a PR for this, though it might be a couple of weeks before I would get the time.

tbh i'm already doing this as a temp workaround. I made a group named "|" and ordered it to be the first group, and set exact rules to put my pinned tabs in it. that way when it sorts they are always first. granted it's not the same as pinning, but it's close.

Maybe the quick fix is, when its sorting tabs, if the tab meets the rules for a saved groupname = "|" or "Pin".. or maybe at a checkbox called "ignored" for groups? and when it matches this item, ignore it, don't create the group or move the tab and skip to the next tab to sort. That way if you have the tab pinned it stays pinned as it's basically ignored.
