[Implemented-Developer]Allow more than 5 workspaces

@radekpilich Nice that it works for you, but some of us don't want to use it for that, but rather for switching context.
I'm a freelancer. I'm currently working on 3, sometimes 4 projects. It helps me waste less time if I can keep my tabs between sessions of working on the same project.
What I'd like to do:
- One workspace for each project
- One workspace for organizational stuff (time trackers, issue trackers, etc); or better, one for each client (currently that would be 2).
- One for talking to and looking for prospects (or jobs; I like being a freelancer but I would be open to the right offer).
Unrelated: seems you're using each workspace for 3 different categories? That pretty much demolishes your argument and looks confusing as heck.

Yeah, thank you for your answer and concerns, but what do you know about my mind capacity? As @namero999 points - limiting the amount is not a way out, nobody forces you to create more than 5 if you have problems with dealing with it.

So I more or less switched to Opera for this one feature alone, workspaces make a huge difference to me.
But the random 5 workspace limit is killing me - can we please please increase it?
At a glance I don't see any other browser that offers something as nice as workspaces, but if Opera doesn't increase the limit from 5 then I'll be switching as soon as something else comes along.
FWIW, I don't think there should be any limit whatsoever. But I could make do with 10 probably.

Having tried to hack my way through this pointless limitation, I've figured that it might be a bad code architecture decision.
By scanning the different configuration files I've found that the workspaces are actually defined numerically, that is,
workspace_1,workspace_2etc... as opposed to have a genericworkspacesstructure defined as an unbound set. So, in order to keep things manageable, they had to put this limitation in place.This was probably a feature given to an intern or junior dev, based on how trivially it has been implemented. To refactor this, they'll need to put some non-trivial effort into it, so my expectations of this happening are really low. I just cannot understand how this could pass the review of a project owner, honestly.
Same boat here, as a long time Opera user eventually converted to Chrome, they have won me back just because of the workspaces... but already looking for a better implementation of this great idea somewhere else...
If there was a way to contribute code to this, I'd do it myself.

That's interesting. Hopefully they see this thread and - rubbish implementation or not - can at least copy and paste those a few more times so we have a more useable limit!
It's a shame because it's such a great feature otherwise.

Okay, just another thing on this topic:
Maybe we can start from having more icons to choose?
There is a "food" and a "plane" icon, yeah - nice. But maybe I'm a music producer and need to have a "music" icon? What with people who are doing different stuff? -

That is an amazing news! Thanks Opera! This should bring the number of available worskspaces to 24.

Beautiful!! Wonderful news.
Thanks to everyone who worked on this - looking forward to 73 release

sektorl last edited by leocgThis is so great! Thanks Opera. you're the best browser I have ever used!
Off: One thing missing is the translation of the site. If Opera has it, I would never use Google Chrome or Edge to translate sites. -

Thank You
It's a piece of wonderful news.
Especially because of fact, that we've been heard.
That's why I still consider Opera as the best browser to work with.

DNA-88682 Increase the number of allowed workspaces to the number of available icons
When might this be added to Opera GX?

With the developer version 74, I was able to create 24 workspace, as many as the number of predefined icons. Promising.

@roti-0 Sorry to revivify this old thread, but I'm looking to create more than 5 workspaces with Developer v.74 -- When I click the "add more" workspaces button in the Sidebar setup, it just force-renames one of the existing 5 that I already have. Nothing I can find or do will create more than 5 Workspace tabs. Does anyone know the exact procedure whereby one creates Workspaces #6-24? Any help would be highly regarded! :^)

@jhjones This fix has even already made it to the regular public branch, I've been rocking 7 workspaces for a few weeks now. (Thanks devs!)

@sgunhouse Hm, I'm using 75 and just tried to add a sixth. It just overwrote my fifth one. I still can't get more than five.

Yeah, same problem here. I'm on Opera 77, and when I try to create another workspace, it just rename one of the five workspaces.
