Request | A third option for "After closing parent tab" pls?

[guigirl42]

Description

This is in my current installed 5.0.0b27. Note the yellow highlight marking the present two options when we close the parent-tab of a tab-tree:

This is the approximately comparable settings' section from TreeStyleTab; note my green highlight:

I love using Sidebery, i think it's amazingly good ... but this specific function/option for my comfortable daily use-case is much better in TST than Sidebery.

Would it be possible please to provide this additional option in Sidebery, when closing the parent-tab of an existing tree that still has child-tabs?

Hello. Any thoughts on this possibility pls?

Implemented, but only for closing the parent tab. Handling a moved parent tab is quite tricky and therefore wontfix.

Oh, i don't think i understand, but i look forward to being able to test it soon so i can properly see what you mean. Presumably in v5.1.1.8 ?

Now i do have v5.1.1.8, & have tested it. It works just as i'd hoped. Excellent, Max, many thanks! 🤗

Oh actually, i've found a little detail that differs from the way this works in TST, & it's better in TST.

In TST, once this temporary / dummy parent placeholder is created after the original parent is closed, & the user progressively reads then closes each of its child tabs, once the final child is closed, that dummy parent placeholder is automatically closed as well, which is nice.

In Sidebery, with this new feature, closing the final child does not automatically close the dummy parent placeholder, so the user then needs to manually close it.

Would it be possible pls to tweak your nice new feature so that once the final child is closed, that dummy parent placeholder is automatically closed as well? Thanks.

It's a different, planned feature - Automatically close empty group pages. And I literally yesterday considered implementing it - but I didn't find any issues requesting it and also didn't find it useful for myself, so I decided to postpone this feature. Well, at least now I know that there is a request. I'll move it up in my task list.

This morning i got v5.1.1.9. I eagerly went to the Release Notes to see what new goodies it might have, but only saw the identical msg as happened for 5.1.1.8, 5.1.1.7, & 5.1.1.6, viz:

Empty release to re-upload incorrectly uploaded version on AMO

I don't understand what this means.

Nightly builds are automated (although triggered by me) releases, that are appended to the last stable (v5.1.1 in this case) release. Just like the Firefox Nightly I don't plan to write release notes for each, since it's time-consuming. There are Changelog with "unreleased" section which I update a couple of times a week and commits. After the v5.2.0, which is almost there, I also plan to use Github milestones (or Github projects) so you will be able to see planned features for the next stable release.

Thank you.
