Opening more than one tab

[rasmus...@freenet.de]

Since the discussions seem to be disappeared, guess there're deleted:
I, post it here again.

Hello.
There Three things i would really appreciate to see about this:

1. when you use the strg feature you should jump to the open site. Its
really anoying when opening a coulbe of taps at once.
There is no simple, prober way of opening a handful of saved taps or
am im kinda stupid?^^

2. I would like a "Open all shown" button in the archiv. So you can
open all taps of a day, or to a keyord with one click

3.What would you thing about 2 optional buttons for the bar: Next and
Back so you could go through your archiv.


However. i really like you work here^^
Great tool!

Hi,

For some reason all three messages came through at once. Regardless,
thank you for your feedback. If you want to open more than one tab
without having to go back and forth, you can control-click and select
open in new tab (just like any link). On linux and windows, you can
just middle-click, if you have a three-button mouse.

I like your idea about having a button that opens all currently
visible taboos. When we get a chance to continue development on this,
we should be able to get that in fairly easily. The additional
buttons on the toolbar wouldn't be ideal for many users who like to
conserve space (others have even gone so far as to request that we
make it have only one button show on the toolbar), but if it's easy to
do, we may add it as optional buttons. However, I wonder if the fact
that you now know how to open multiple taboos from the same window
makes it less necessary?

Thanks,

Ian

Thax for the fast reply
When I do it with control I browser still jumps to the page. So it
stay anoying (hate that word ;-)) to open 10 windows or so(you have to
go back to taboo every time you open one).
If the normal Like conditions would be working (middle click) ther
would be no Problem, since the focus than stay on the tap with taboo
in it.
But somhow only conrl Click works. I dont know, maybe it is OS
specific. I have an windowXP system with firefox.

[Ian Fischer]

That's odd -- I'm on a Mac at the moment, and so can't verify this,
but I wonder if perhaps you're using TabMix Plus and maybe have
changed the default behavior of the middle click? I can't immediately
come up with a reason that Taboo would work improperly with middle
click.

To avoid a misunderstanding: The tab IS opened separatly but the focus
shifts. I see now that this wanst clear in the posts bevore.
And another little think: In the Calender the View closes on opening.

I guess when this issures would be "fixed" i could go esaly without
additional buttons. They would improve the handling to me though.

[Ian Fischer]

Thanks -- I understood what you were describing, but to the best of my
recollection that is not correct behavior for middle click (I haven't
been able to test that on my own system yet, however), so I was
wondering if another extension is perhaps interfering in some manner,
since I don't believe that we do anything that would interfere with
the default settings. However, I will try to look into that to see if
I can replicate the behavior on my Windows machine.

Thanks,

Ian

I have deactivated TMP now (and another plug-in that tweaks the
mouseclicks). Behavior is exact the same. The middle Click works for
all Links except the Taboo ones.
Maybe you could just tweek the strg function, so that the taboo tap
stays aktiv?
Or istnt this possible?

[Ian Fischer]

Ok -- thanks. I'll look into the behavior on WinXP and see if I can
replicate your issue.

Hmm, there seems to be 2 problems here:

1) we aren't capturing the event correctly - this is probably easy to
fix, but...

2) opening the tab in the background causes the session restoration to
fail.

To test this I changed the open code in the service to do:

switch (aWhere) {
case 'current':
case 'tabshifted':
loadInBackground = !loadInBackground;
case 'tab':
tab = tabbrowser.loadOneTab('about:blank', null, null, null,
loadInBackground, false);
break;
default:
return;
}

so that if you click it will try to open in the background.

This lead to 2 exceptions (one by mozilla, then one by us):

Error: this.docShell.contentViewer is null
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml
Line: 0

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "'[JavaScript Error:
"this.docShell.contentViewer is null" {file: "chrome://global/content/
bindings/browser.xml" line: 0}]' when calling method:
[oyITaboo::open]" nsresult: "0x80570021
(NS_ERROR_XPC_JAVASCRIPT_ERROR_WITH_DETAILS)" location: "JS frame ::
chrome://taboo/content/grid.js :: anonymous :: line 37" data: yes]

Any ideas yosh?

If you could capture the event (If I understood it right: The link
would behave like normal to middleclick then.)
Maybe you don't need to force a Tap to open in Backround.

Is it even possible to restore in backround?
See i dont noe what im talking about, but maybe since you have to
restore curser position etc. The tap has to open in forground first.
Maybe as a workaround: open in with focus but quickly shift it back to
Taboo?

Thanx for taking care of this Problem.
Since I use Taboo all the time now, it would be great if you could
solve it!

Hi !

When I'm on a page with a lot of links, I used to right click " open
in a new tab" and my firefox options /tabs are : open new page in a
new tab , "when clicking on a link then focus the new tab" is
unchecked.

So I got a lot of tabs that I read later ( so what's why I need
taboo :-)

I would like the same thing when I'm on taboo grid ! .. but when I
click on a thumbnail, it's open a new tab with the focus on it .
and I 've no " open in a new tab" when I right click.. so please do .

I would like too a button/link in taboo to open all (beside grid/
calendar /.. ) and not in the toolbar button of firefox ( I don't
like to have too much buttons there and we don't need all the time
this button )

I'm with XP home and pro, firefox 20012 on my computer at home and
firefox portable apps, I 've not Tab mix plus or other tab viewer ( I
can give you my extensions list if needed )

Thanks for your attention about our request

kind regards

I understand. We have a bug. Since taboo doesn't just open links, it
restores session information. Need to figure out why it doesn't work
in the background.
