by Nimja, 5 months agoHi Josh, I wanted to reach out to you about TS, this is the only way I could find.
I am looking for a 'tab organising' addon to hold multiple tabs, of differing subjects, in their own groups (just like you show in your first three images), and offering an easy backup.
I have been using STG, and was attracted to TS, as from your images I love the interface, and thought I might prefer TS.
After installing, I found TS too unintuitive, I couldn't figure out how to get from the pop-up, to the group interface as in your first three images. Reeading your usage guidance, I have most of it figured out, but when I attempted to import my URLs from STG, TS isn't able to read the .json file.
Then I had a go at exporting my TS tabs, but all I get is an Export page that doesn't seem to do anything (format, Select All, Copy) but it doesn't do anything??
Anyhow, please accept this positive feedback, I'm sure you put a lot into this addon as it looks fabulous and I believe it has a lot of options, I just found it a bit too unintuitive to use it. TYVM!

posted 4 months agoThanks for the note! You're always welcome to open an issue on GitHub for help or feedback (links at the bottom of the addon listing). That said, Import and Export work via copy/paste. Export shows you your stash in different forms which you can copy/paste into some other form. Import allows you to paste in any text containing URLs, and Tab Stash will try to find and load the links contained in whatever you paste.
As a pro tip, Import can split your items into different groups if you put blank lines between them. It can also parse out group names from Markdown (so using a Markdown format works best).
If Tab Stash's Import feature isn't sufficient, you can also import directly into your bookmarks using some other method (e.g. another extension) and then move those bookmarks into your stash using the built-in bookmark editor.
Hope this helps!
