Unofficial automatic tab stacking

Wednesday, March 16, 2011 3:52:18 PM

Automatic tab stacking will not be in the 11.10 Beta but you can simulate the behaviour via making use of another small bug (at least until we fix that bug).

Enable "Preferences > Tabs > Open new tab next to active"
Make sure the working tab is already in a stack. If it is not, manually add "any" tab to your current working tab (it can even be opera:blank) because you need to start off with a stack already for this to work.
Expand the stack and make sure the working tab is not the right most tab in the stack (if it is move at least one place to the left).

Anything you open from this working tab by right clicking, ctrl clicking, gesturing, etc. will be auto stacked so long as it is not the right most tab.

P.S. Shhh ... I didn't tell you this!

So this DOES work! I was missing a step when I last tried it. Also, I very much like the "olds builds" redirection work.

Oh, is it a bug? For me it's one of the best new features of Opera 11. I thought it was a bug that a tab opened from the right most tab in a stack isn't added to the stack. So it's just the opposite.

Personally, I'd like to see "open in background tab" opening in a stack and "open in new tab" outside the stack.

But I could understand if someone would see it differently.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Breakin da law

Ok, so please dont fix this "bug" that allows this Tab Stacking trick until its back in final form again!

Cheers!

Mmmmm, I will just wait, but please hurry, thats what Ive been waiting for in a regular snapshot/beta/rc/final/alpha since that time we had it.

The "Open new tab next to active" setting reverse the order of opened tabs if I open 2 or more tabs from the parent tab.

An example. My setting is when closing a tab "Activate the next tab"

Opened tabs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
The active tab is the 3rd. I open 4 new tab from 3rd tab.
Which I do expect to happen:

1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 4, 5

With your suggestion this actually happens:

1, 2, 3, 9, 8, 7, 6, 4, 5

Another situation. I'm on the 3rd tab. I want to check something which not releated to content of 3rd tab. Which I do expect to happen:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, new_tab
With your suggestion this actually happens::
1, 2, 3, new_tab, 4, 5

I really think the automatic tab stacking option should be added... I liked the automatic tab stacking feature when it was first released

sorry to break it to you guys but it looks like in the latest internal builds, we fixed the bug that caused this to happen. That fix will probably work its was down to you soon.

Before you all kill us though, on the other hand there is also now a much easy way to quickly create stacks!

I must resist the urge to tell you how. You will have to wait and see!

@Ruari could you elaborate a little more on that?

Would it mean panel? Expanded capability to stack in the Windows panel? (though the date of the post is the same as your comment...)

Look, if this is window panel what you meant, this isn't what people were looking for... They want an option to turn automatic tab-stacking back someway. Are you still planning to offer an option for automatic tab-stacking on the future? Perhaps developing it yet?
