Reviews for Session Sync
Session Sync by Gabriel Ivanica
Review by TOM.
Rated 4 out of 5
by TOM., 6 years agoLiked the functionality and look of this add-on, but didn't like that there is no context menu when you right-click on a tab. You should be able to right-click a tab, go down to "Session Sync" and then choose to move the tab to a different group or a new group. Ideally, it would be nice to select multiple tabs at once and move them all to an existing or new group. Currently trying other add-on's but will check back with this one later.
Response to developer: Added another star for you being so on top of the reviews and replying to them quickly. :)
What I was asking for was to be able to right-click an actual tab (not just in the Session Sync interface) and have a way in the context menu that pops up to change the tab from the current active group to another group and then have the tab close automatically since it's no longer in the active group. I'm a right-clicker. Just seems more natural than looking for a toolbar button each time.
As for the multiple tab moving thing, I think a lot of people who are looking at this type of add-on are like me and have a BUNCH of tabs open. I currently have over 1000 since I research a lot of things and get sidetracked easily. That's why I also asked about being able to move multiple tabs at once. This could even be done in the Session Sync interface if you could shift-click a bunch of tabs in the list and then move them to another group. Anything to quickly break up the 1000 tabs into smaller groups so it doesn't take Firefox so long to open... From your github page, it looks like you're working on this stuff already, though.

Thanks a lot for providing more details on the requested feature. Now I understand what do you mean by right click on the tab and I think it can be a very useful feature. I will definitely try to see how I can implement this using only the context menu. Not 100% sure it can be done but probably I can do something about it. If the API let's me get the multiple tab selection (from when you SHIFT select many tabs) I will try to add support for it as well.
Many thanks for giving me another star :). I really appreciate it.

Hi. You can drag-n-drop any tab to another Window group (active window) and reorder them. Yes you can't drag a tab into a certain saved session but that's a wonderful idea and I can definitely implement it very fast. Multiple tab selection is not that easy to implement but I have it planed for a later update.
If you consider to provide a better description of the feature you want please send me an email (through the Feedback button from the addon-menu) or submit a new issue on Github.
Probably it's better to also take a look over all the features that I plan to add just to make sure that what you want is not already planned. https://github.com/ReDEnergy/SessionSync/issues/40
Thanks for trying the addon, and when I will have all those features that you want implemented please remember to come back and reconsider the feedback.
