unable to move group to window in a different profile

[yuuyins]

Steps to reproduce

1. Have two windows W1 and W2 in different profiles P1 and P2, respectively
2. Open 2 tabs in W1
3. Create a group for the 2 tabs in W1
4. Try moving group from W1 to W2

Expected behavior

Move group from window W1 in Firefox profile P1 to another window W2 in profile P2 works.

Actual behavior

Move group from window W1 in Firefox profile P1 to another window W2 in profile P2 won't work. It just search the string moz-extension://f291fbf7-d05b-4e2d-a381-1db76a43e501/group/group.html#NixOS%20-%20NixOS%20Linux:id:JI4cLVpO9WOH in the search engine in a new tab in W2

I'm unsure if there is an easy way to fix this. The thing is, the extensions IDs are different for every installation. You can even try reinstalling Sidebery in your current profile and you will realize that groups stop working.

[mbnuqw]

After abd0078 it will be possible to drag and drop sidebery items (tabs/bookmarks) between sidebery sidebars of different FF profiles, but only in "copy" mode, which means the source items will not be removed.

@mbnuqw i don't have an easy way to build node projects right now but i'll test it when I can. thank you very much!!

[mbnuqw]

@yuuyins, I'm planning to release a new version today, so just wait for v5.0.0b22

[yuuyins]

Just tested a bit.

On my normal profile, I upgraded from 4.10.1 to https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/releases/tag/v5.0.0b22. But most group tabs didn't restore properly, which seems related to https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/issues/656

Now on moving group tabs. With default configurations, it didn't work: when I tried moving a group to a window in another profile, it would just move it to a new window in the current profile. BUT changing the drag and drop settings page.setup/setup.html#settings_dnd from Open in new window to Pass dragged data to the target made it work as expected.

Thank you! You can close this issue as you wish.

[dexeonify]

Yes, the default configuration for Drag-and-drop is to open in new window (https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/commit/f996c993d8b1f9a3681e4309a642967036eaacd9). If you only want to move tabs between sidebars, you should use the Alt key (or change the default setting).

Though for some reason, in a new profile, DND seems to do both actions at once.

[silverhook]

Is this only about drag-and-dropping from one profile to another or also about sending through e.g. a right-click menu?

For specific KDE-related workflow reasons I heavily rely on several Profiles too.

Tree-Style Tabs addresses this through syncing/sending the tabs via Firefox Sync, which can be a bit slow (and has some other quirks). If Sidebery were to fix this in a simpler way, that would be a great boon to my workflow :)

[mbnuqw]

@silverhook, this issue only for drag and drop. For sending tabs subscribe on #54

[mbnuqw]

Closing this as fixed.
