Love the App, been using it for a while now and had to delete some groups. I come to find there is no way to manually renumber for the purpose of reordering them.
Thank you for such a great app, I really appreciate it, and you for developing it.

Do you mean reordering them for when when using the hotkeys?
For some reason that never occured to me.

What I mean is that I have all these groups on the "Active Group" page and I deleted a few and now the sequence numbers are fouled, meaning I have gaps in the numbering of the groups. This makes it hard to keep them in order. I never use the hotkeys but that may be a correct assumption on your part.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean with the "Active Group" page and the sequence numbers.

I see, thank you. Indeed being able to reorder the groups for the hotkey selection would be very useful.

I am a bit confused. I have been using Panorama Tab Groups, I now notice that this Feature Request is listed in Panorama View. Please enlighten me with respect to the functional differences/similarities, and which I should be using to get the maximum benefit. I currently use PTG to organize my browser tags into interests/subjects. Secondly what disaster will I experience if I switched from PTG to PV, or can both coexist? I am a bit wary of making a change due to the number of groups I have in play, even though I have backups. Thanks again for a truly useful addon. I looks as though PTG's last update was in May 2020 and PV's was Feb 2023 but the writeup I found was that PTG was an updated fork of PV - Like I said I'm confused.

My work on this add-on (PV) has always been pretty slow, simply because it's a personal project I mostly make for myself.
I think the reason it was forked (PTG) was to make development faster and add more features.

I do still occasionally work on Panorama View, but I don't have that much time.


I just tried switching from PTG to PV with a new Firefox profile and it seemed to work fine.
What I did was this:

  1. Save a backup in PTG
  2. Disable PTG
  3. Search for and install PV
  4. Open backup in PV

Please be careful if you try this, as having both add-ons active at the same time gets messy.
