        I have lost all my workspace sessions. Ans other open tabs... Now I have to go over my head to try to restore all my tabs... Also, because the export doesn't work i have to find my lost tabs via complicated procedure using time machine and other steps...

        And be aware, the Folder feature only works for the window. Once you close the window your folder withe the tabs is gone...

        Think twice before installing this extension.

          @EgorUk, please see the latest version on my blog, which I just released a few minutes ago.

          I took over the development of TreeTabs because it has been abandoned by the original author. I have been struggling for a month or two to learn the code (and refresh my JavaScript knowledge) well enough to support it. I will be submitting TreeTabs2 to the Opera extension store soon.

          During my testing, version 2.1.0 reliably saved and restored tabs within groups and folders. By “restore” I mean after a normal browser restart AND using the Import Session tool.

          I even tested it using a session that I had saved months ago, and that was also restored correctly.

            @thomasmca Thank you.

            The question is would it save and restore Opera Workspaces?
            Also, the installer doesn't work. Tried to a do a right click and open with Opera and it's not working.

            Please see the screenshot.

            Thank you!!

              @EgorUk Sorry about that. Please try again.

              No, it doesn't save Opera Workspaces. You can get similar functionality by using groups and folders in TT2. When you select a group in TT2, you only see the tabs in that group, just like in Workspaces. You can even hide a group in TT2 by right-clicking on it and selecting Hibernate. To bring it back, right-click on any remaining group, select Manager, then click the Load icon next to the group name.

                @thomasmca Ok, thank you. But, unfortunately, I can not check anything as the extension installer doesn't work and you didn't say anything about it and how to install it to Opera. I even provided a screenshot. (see my previous reply)

                Thank you.

                  @EgorUk Sorry about the confusion. One of my ToDo items is to add documentation to my blog. To install the file, open the Extensions page in Opera, then drag&drop the .crx file onto that page. The extension will then appear in the top of the list with an Install button.

                    @thomasmca Ok, I was able to install it using the method you told me but it shows not the version you said it should be:
                    Opera Snapshot_2020-03-25_105255_extensions.png
                    It shows Version 1.2.3 and you said and what I download is Version 2.1.0. Can you pls advise? Thank you.

                      @EgorUk Opera recognizes that the extension did not come from its "app store" so it generates a random version number (and sometimes a random author name). One way to recognize that you're using a newer version is to click on the Options button, and look at the bottom of the page. If you see 3 checkboxes for various Debug levels, then you have my newest version. Another ToDo item of mine is to add the version number to the top of that Options page.

                        @thomasmca Ok, was able to confirm and it is 2.1.0 now.

                        So, what is the difference between Groups and folders?

                        Thank you, Thomas.

                            The latest update (Opera 68.0.3618.63, MacOS) broke the Tree Tabs at all. It's impossible to use the browser without the extension.
                            Is it possible to fix?

                                First off, thanks for this extension. I couldn't use a browser efficiently without it.
                                However, for a month now it has stopped working properly. It mostly works, but at some point the Tree Tabs tabs in the sidebar get disconnected from the actual browser tabs, and the only way to get back to something workable seems to be to restart the browser. When it comes back up, the Tree Tabs tabs are all messed up as far as order goes, but at least they work again. Until the next time they get out of sync.
                                Is there a solution for this?

                                  Like many of you, I tend to operate with a huge number of open tabs...impossible to manage except in tree mode. I migrated from Firefox to Opera because TreeTabs worked more reliably, but gave up after 2 years full of crashes, lost data, & the author's failure to either maintain the plug-in or respond to user questions & needs.

                                  Kudos to the TreeTabs author for great design, but I vowed never again to rely on a free plug-in for such fundamentally essential functionality.

                                  I moved to Vivaldi nearly a year ago. It's quirky, & I choose to ignore some key features...but a variant of tree-style tabs is built-in & bulletproof. The whole venture is run by Opera veterans, & it shows. I'm satisfied overall, & suggest Vivaldi is worth a serious look.

                                    How about making the tabs much shorter so they don't take up so much of the page. I can't use them in this form.

                                      This extension isn't great, and it hasn't been updated since Feb 2019. But hopefully there's a solution to the dark theme not working in the Tree-Tabs sidebar, and hopefully there's a way to remove the horizontal tab bar?

                                      The glaring white sidebar makes the dark theme pretty much useless, and also makes it hard to focus on items in the tree. Is there a way to make Tree-Tabs follow Opera's dark theme?

                                      Also, how do I get rid of the duplicate/old horizontal tab bar? I don't need two sets of tabs. I can get rid of it in Firefox, how do I do it in Opera?

                                        @worksong: there is no tree style tabs in vivaldi. there's only vertical tabs which is completely different

                                            May I ask for a feature to sort the tabs in the Tree-Tabs sidebar?
