Panorama Tab Groups Versions Save

An add-on for Firefox that implements the old Tab Groups/Panorama functionality

0.8.12

4 years ago

Welcome back to a new year and a new release! Just a couple months into the year :/ As usual, sorry for the quietness but here's finally a new release. Been a rough year with some technical issues (job work and server work) and then some health issues that have prevented me from working on things as I like. And of course limited time.

There's a lot of new exciting features with the main one being @vaxul's popup view which has been long requested. As mentioned before, main default and priority will be the panorama view since that's the origin of this add-on and my personal preference, but due to @vaxul's hard work, you can now choose whichever you prefer :)

New Features/Changes

  1. New Popup view as mentioned before! (thanks to @vaxul )
  2. Added tooltips for tiling buttons (thanks to @DougBeney )
  3. New infinite scrolled and drag scrolling (thanks to @animaone )

Bug fixes/Backend work

  1. Changed color scheme for the PTG button which annoyed a lot of people I know.

Known Bugs/Issues

  1. Group IDs always increment and never decrement after closing a group so if you've been using PTG for a while, I'm sure your IDs will be very high. I'll be fixing that soon, ~should be an easy fix.~ It wasn't as easy as it looked. Will still be looking into this.
  2. When closing tab in a group, pop's back to another group instead of the original group. I suspect I know the cause of this bug but haven't confirmed yet.
  3. A debug mode is needed to hide a lot of info that end-users might not want but is currently needed for debugging/bug report purposes.
  4. I'm sure many translations broke with the new plural rules. Please take a look at the bottom of this page to learn how to add plural rules to fix any broken translations.

Thanks for waiting and supporting this project :) As always, suggestions are welcome here. We're especially looking for translations so please help if you can! If you're not sure how exactly to submit a pull request, you can just translate every message line here and drop it in an issue and I'll put it in the code.

0.8.11

4 years ago

Hopefully the 0.8.10 release didn't mess up too many people. I released a quick 0.8.11 patch and it was messy but it should have reverted the commit that messed up 0.8.10. Please let me know if it didn't.

Welcome back after the holidays! As usual, sorry for the quietness but here's finally a new release. There's a lot of new exciting features such as tiling, search functionality and small QoL changes. I've been doing a lot of side-projects due to a new job to keep learning. I have my new dev environment up and running so you should start seeing more work from me soon! I'm hoping to get a new computer near the end of the month to replace my old dev server, but hopefully I can pump out some quality work before I go dark for that. Sorry for the wait and enjoy the following news!

New Features/Changes

  1. Added Tiling! The icons will probably get reworked in the future, but you can now (at the view page) select whether you want freeform view to move groups around as you want or tiling to automatically evenly split all the groups.
  2. Basic search functionality is now here! Type the name of the open tab you want to find in the search bar in the view page and that tab should now be selected and highlighted in blue.
  3. If you click on a group in the background, it'll now raise to the foreground (thanks to @crass )
  4. Restoring from old extensions should look a little nicer now (thanks to @crass )
  5. You can now move tab groups by selecting any part of the group, not just the header. Mouse icons should reflect this now as well.
  6. There is a reset button now but it isn't implemented yet. Hoping to have it finished by next release.
  7. Title of tab groups shows up when you hover the icon, the number of groups is now displayed on the icon as well.
  8. Added new translations

Bug fixes/Backend work

  1. David Gurk reworked a lot of how the shortcuts are handled and coded and helped out a bunch. Thanks!
  2. David removed urls from the tab group tab titles which was causing issues with PTG and rendering the view/tabs properly. Should reduce a bunch of the blank screen issues.
  3. Fixed bug which broke the backup utility
  4. Groups are created properly on new windows
  5. Removed internal debugging console logs, added comments.

I know things have been pretty quiet around. I've been doing a lot of side-projects due to a new job to keep learning. Just got my revised environment up and running so while it isn't very pretty, I am able to merge pull request and do quick changes now. Should hopefully be back on track now :) Sorry for the wait!

0.8.8

5 years ago

New Features/Changes

  1. You can now send tabs to other groups through the context menu! Just right click on a tab and send to another group :) Just an FYI, for now you can technically right click and send the Panorama view to another tab. Just close the view and everything will fix itself.
  2. Tab groups now include the group ID next to the tab count. This is more for development/debugging but it might help you figure out which group to send a tab to (if you haven't named any yet).
  3. Added Polish translations thanks to @marsjaninzmarsa, French translations thanks to @lionel-bijaoui, and Korean translations thanks to @hong620
  4. Added Russian translations and plural forms thanks to David Gurk

Small changes/bug fixes

  1. Probably the biggest fix this release was fixing the bug where you couldn't save a backup of your groups. It was a simple problem, but hard to find, a missing html tag introduce back in v0.8.7 :( should be good to go now though!
  2. During developing PTG and updating firefox, the update page won't open up. It will only open when there's a new release of Panorama Tab Groups.
  3. A bunch of refactoring thanks to @Bareus :)

0.8.7

New Features/Changes

  1. Double-clicking to open a group will open a group at mouse position instead of in the top left corner.
  2. You can now pick the position of the pinned tabs toolbar.

  4. New updates for Panorama Tab Groups now loads the update page letting users know of any new changes. Installing the add-on for the first time sends you to the add-on webpage.
  5. Support for translations has been implemented. Basic support for English, German and Chinese.

Small changes/bug fixes

  1. Should now be easier to move groups
  2. Refactored code :)
  3. Should now be more clear when you're renaming groups.
