tabs disappeared

[iamstarkov]

my tabs disappeared after last release. I think It is because of manipulations with sublime-tabs plugin and preview-tabs option and probably relates to atom/settings-view#527. Here is my apm ls log. I’m not sure what to provide extra, so ask me anything you need to debug

[iamstarkov]

I found that tabs was disabled in new atom version.

[iamstarkov]

but I don’t know how it happens

When you say they 'disappeared', what were you doing when that happened?

Are you aware that the Use Preview Tabs option, if enabled, will re-use tabs if the content hasn't changed:

Have you tried running atom --safe?

nothing, I just let atom update itself and restart itself. After restart it have been opened wo/ tabs

Are you aware that the Use Preview Tabs option, if enabled, will re-use tabs if the content hasn't changed:

I tried, but cannot find this option.

Have you tried running atom --safe?

Tried, just now. it didn’t help. problem is in tabs package disabled by default

[batjko]

It isn't disabled by default, though. Unless you disabled it at some point?

You can get at the tabs package's settings from the list of packages:

nope, I just updated atom and these two packages gone disabled

[batjko]

Weird. How old was your previous atom version? Did you update all your packages before upgrading atom?

[iamstarkov]

to be honest it van be happen with tabs package, while I searching for preview tabs option, but it cannot be happen to tree-view, because I didn’t touch it in my life, so it probably the same error for both packages

[iamstarkov]

Weird

Yep

How old was your previous atom version?

Previous, I think. I update atom everytime atom asks for it.

Did you update all your packages before upgrading atom?

Why I should? Anyway I used https://atom.io/packages/auto-update-packages to always have latest versions of my packages.

Did you have sublime-tabs installed at some point?

[iamstarkov]

yes

[mnquintana]

sublime-tabs disables tree-view and tabs when installed, so with 0.206.0 not loading deprecated packages, it would mean that sublime-tabs would no longer be loaded, but the tree-view and tabs would still be disabled from when you had sublime-tabs installed. You can safely just re-enable them in Settings / Preferences > Packages.

[iamstarkov]

I already re-enabled them, it helped a lot.

[iamstarkov]

So probably I’m not the only one who have this awful experience, right? I would prefer Atom to handle this case for me, because it was obvious in this concrete situation, that Atom will be broken right after update

The problem is that Sublime Tabs isn't properly re-enabling Tree View and Tabs when it gets deactivated, so when Atom force-disables Sublime Tabs, the Tree View and Tabs aren't automatically re-enabled.

so - I have this issue which discussed the possibility of having sublime-tabs reenable tabs and tree view, and the problem was:

Every time the user closes atom, it would reenable tabs and tree-view.

and

Every time the user opens atom, it would disable tabs and tree-view

This is very inefficient, and would seriously be annoying if you see two tab and tree-view panes.

According to the readme, you'll definitely have to reenable those packages after uninstallation of sublime-tabs.

Sorry about this! 😞

[batjko]

Ah. Curse you, Sublime tabs!

[iamstarkov]

probably, this issue have been resolved by @kevinsawicki in atom/atom#7123
