doesn't work with tab groups
i didn't see any issue regarding this. do you intend to make it work or no?
There is a bug (https://github.com/traxium/tabtree/issues/12 and https://github.com/traxium/tabtree/issues/13) that in order to fix it requires rewriting this add-on almost from the beginning. And I've spent several hours reading Firefox source code trying to understand how Tab Groups work. And I understood that a huge work has to be done to implement Tab Groups support in this add-on. Therefore it's not rational to implement Tab Groups support in this add-on and after that one more time in the new add-on. All major missing features that require a lot of time to implement (collapsible subtrees, enhanced tab search and Tab Group support) are going to be added in this new add-on. That's my plans for now. By the way, It's said in the add-on description on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-tree/ - "- You can't use "Tab Groups (Panorama)" with this extension"
It is sad it doesnt planning to suppot tab groups, I just tried tab tree it and it looks great. What a pity that I have to remove it only in that case. Is it really that hard to build a tree only based on tabs that currently active on selected group instead of building it on the whole tabs list?
Btw I didnt know that firefox added tab groups support, need to check it out. Im using this plugin for groups https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-groups-helper/?src=ss
Tab Groups Helper looks much better to me then the native tab groups. The story about tab groups support is that I completely forgot about tab groups existence while was developing Tab Tree (though I used them in the past). And I remembered about it after I published the first version on AMO when the first reviewer mentioned it. It would be much easy to integrate tab groups support at an early stage of development.
That is true, some bugs appears due to groups using, it needs to be checked why did it happens. Maybe tab indexes were changed or whatever else, I'm not a kind of ff plugins developer, I'm just a java ee developer = cant help ю much with that.
Since tab groups are not supported, maybe a warning should be shown to users on first run? And check if user has tab groups.
I believe this happens when tab tree is installed while using tab groups: https://github.com/traxium/tabtree/issues/43
Tab groups are slated to be removed in a future version of Firefox in bug 1221050. Given that, it might not be the best investment of time to add support for this.
I think Tab Groups will stay even if removed from Firefox, there is a plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-groups-panorama/) which is replacing it.
As I said in a different thread, I am using Tree-style-tab in combination with groups and it is a very nice combo.
I also noticed the incompatibility while testing https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-groups-panorama/ with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-groups-helper/
Unfortunately it also does not work with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabgroups-manager-revived
