My mistake, i meant IE7Pro, a great addon for IE7 which works well enough on IE6 too. > -- function: Save a list of currently open tabs as a session, > accessible at any future date (like IEPro); >>Well you could have it set to reopen the current tabs when it closes, or keep >>pressing Ctrl+Shift+T, or just search your History, or even better bookmark >>them. I was not clear enough. What i mean is to be able to save a list of ALL currently opened tabs (alongside other previous similar lists), and be able to access this list and reopen the same tabs weeks or months later. It's a bit like archiving the tabs for much later reference. It's not about retrieving recently closed tabs, nor is it about reopening the last open tabs when Chrome is restarted. If you know the "sessions" from IE7pro, or "Groups" from Maxthon/ GreenBr, you will understand. Bookmarking is currently a workaround, but i have a dirty secret : i _never_ have less than 20 tabs open in a single window. Im a browsing maniac and I usually have between 40-60 tabs open at any time. Right now - 38 tabs (10 on several email accnts and news, 4 youtubes, 15+ for my programming research, and the rest are misc). In Maxthon I can save them all as e.g. "session April27" and come back in July... I can even add a new tab to any previous session-list. So, bookmarking works, but it takes an hour for all my tabs :( I know, i am one of a kind. Or maybe not. > -- option: Block opening of new tabs that are duplicates of other >>you know that Chromes tabs are windows, try dragging them out, you would just >>have to close them, and not expect a program to do it. What i meant: it often happens that I have the same URL opened in 2-3 tabs across the window, as in when I have multiple homepages (G.advanced searc) or multiple Yehaa login pages. Not very important, just a little bell. > -- option: Open new tabs either (1) right after the current tab, or (2) at > the end of tab-line; >>Again you can move them around unlike IE, so just try moving them to the >>right, and so on. With such an option, i would avoid tons of clicking and dragging if there was a constant rule for new tab locations. Just try to open 3-4 tabs from a single page (middleclick), visit ONE of the pages, then go back and keep opening other new tabs. They all get mixed up... > -- function: Order tabs by site (grouping tabs from same domain >> you can do these by grouping all the tabs in one ""window", and so on Again, that is a LOT of manual work that can be elegantly avoided. I think i saw this option in Sleipnir (or K-meleon?) > -- UI: Show page title in Chrome's titlebar (why is title-bar completely > missing?!) >>Tile bar belongs to each tab, but you can see on the Windows Toolbar, the >>"title" for the current tab you have open in Chrome. Only problem is that Windows shows but about 20 characters of any window title. In this respect, the old crappy IE is a model to follow. > -- function: Per-tab enabling/disabling of script, flash, images, >>Alright finally something nice, I would like this as well, although you could >> just end the process of the Java Scripts, Flash and all that by pressing >>Shift+Esc, and then end the process on the Plug-In Hmmmm what if you want to enter a bad site ? For research purpose of course. Or what if you are a bit paranoid and want to block all scripts / active content _by default_, only allowing them on specific trusted sites? > -- option: Do not allow websites to hide my toolbars or to block/ > hijack right-mouse event (context menu)>> There are no toolbars on Chrome, so > what are you talking about?, and I am guessing u mean right click, well some > websites have copy right stuff, so it wont allow you to right click so you > can't copy something, or things like that. Actually i just discovered a bookmarklet that reenables blocked context menu and RMB clicks. About hidden toolbars, I think i remember some popup window (not tab) in Chrome that had no address bar. I may be wrong thou. > -- function: A button to go up one level >> Well when Google Toolbar comes out then u can do that Can't wait to see Google's toolbar working on Google's browser...... > -- addon/engine: Mouse gestures >>I just never use them, I used to, but would always execute stuff when I >>didn't want to I never had a problem with wrongful execution. Again, i used the gestures in Maxthon and Greebnowser, flawless. > -- engine: Easier support for user scripts / Greasemonkey >>Now it works on the 2.0... version, try that Yeah, but i cant figure out how to enable and disable those scripts on- demand, without restarting Chrome. > -- function: Highlighting search words in current page, and keep the > hilighting active on all subsequent pages in the same tab >>that would be nice, but it might get a bit annoying, you can always press >>Ctrl+F and find the words you want though Annoying? When you don't need it you turn it off. But if you need to spot-find the words on successive longer pages, going back to the search bar is extra clicking and extra time. Also, i am lazy. >> Well you can hide the bookmarks bar, but your idea sounds nice, although it >> would make the stuff smaller. I am one of those guys who like things to be small. No need to compensate for nothing lol And small is nice to my precious screen real estate. > -- UI: Optional docking of links bar to left (with vertical text) >> Sorry not sure what you mean by that If I only have 4-5 buttons on link bar and i want it always visible, i am wasting the entire length of the bar where no buttons are... >>if you don't want it to appear on the history, then use incognito mode. But i don't always remember to go Incognito. Plus, in incognito your current tabs are not saved in case of crash or accidental closing. Ahem. >>you can right click selected text, and click on Search Google, or drag the >>selected link, into the tab bar, and it will go to the link you selected Dragging to new tab only works if the text starts with protocol http://google.com, but not for www.google.com or google.com > -- engine: Option to set _only_ the Cache folder to a different > folder on local harddisk, ..to avoid thrashing my USB drive >>you can set it to just delete it when it closes the portable chrome. i'm not interested in deleting the cache, but in avoiding the numerous write operations (deleting is another form of writing, to MFT) > -- function: Lock current tab against accidental closing >>well if you accidentally close it just press Ctrl+Shift+T but sometimes you don't realize you closed the wrong tab..... > -- UI: Optional status bar with various live connection info >>there is the Stats for nerds No, Stats window is on-demand, I'm looking for a LIVE monitoring bar, that should show e.g. "D:167k RAM:219M 31 tabs 100%" for download speed, memory usage, tab count and page zoom > -- UI: Permanently show the search bar _next to_ the address bar >>I really would hate to have that, .....the omni bar from Chrome is so much >>better 1. it shold be OPTIONAL, all the features i'm talking about should be optional displayed, exactly because not everyone wants them 2. the omni box search is... only a search, NOT a highlighter tool. But the small seach bar actually highlights the results in the page, but it does not stay visible if you navigate away from the page, and you have to call again Ctrl+F, type the search words again, and again...... At least, the Google toolbar was smart enough to keep highliting the words on the page even after you navigate around, until you ask it to stop. 3. actually Omnibox has a privacy issue with that cool function of suggesting links. just google "omnibox privacy" > -- UI: Optional display of tabs on multiple rows >>simply close some tabs, you don't really need that many open i will pretend i didn't read that :) also, splitting tabs to multiple windows means you will lose the tab- restauration function when restarting Chrome (it only works for tabs in one window) > 1. for the UP button, i use this script bookmarklet....... >> I don't think I get what you mean, I would say just use the Up button. What UP button ? am i missing smthing >> Yeah mouse gestures are just weird fancy complicated things um i really don't think so. It's like biking, if you learned how to do it and you do it for a while, you want to do it all day, even to go to the bathroom --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
