Request to be able to rename tabs groups to something meaningful.

[mikhoul]

I've found your extension browsing for a tab managers/grouper and it Tab-Manager-v2 seem very good and simple at the same time, also it is very responsive.

But what I'd like is to be able to rename tabs groups to something meaningful than only the number of tabs in the header of the group.

Here's a quick mockup:

If you need more informations just ask me.

To add a title is not hard. But it seems not very intuitive to manage.

• You have to manually type the title.
• The title will be lost if you accidentally close the window.
• It's also a mess if you open some tabs not related to the current group.

Any idea for the above situations?

Only the first time we name it, after name should be saved in a DB and tagged to the tabs group until l the groupe is empty.

Not if the name is saved in a DB and tagged to the tab group.

Not really because I keep all my session clean with name like "Programming project XYZ", Movies, Android Stuff, etc... So when I work on a project I just open the right tab group. 😊

I can investigate whether it's doable by Chrome API, https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/windows.

A blocker is whether we get the same window id once your Chrome restart. Otherwise, there is no way to keep track a window during multiple sessions.

I second this request! I was using Panorama View tab manager in Firefox and that allowed for naming of groups which was nice. It has a nice visual map of all windows and tabs you can pull up via hotkey as well.

Thanks for your work on this - will keep an eye out for updates.
