I’m interested in hearing your suggestions or alternative workflows for the following situation.
I was reading a web document within DT and opened several links in new tabs. Those links pointed to webpages NOT stored inside DT. Leaving those tabs opened I needed to see something in a different database, and when I finished with that I closed that database.
The big problem is that closing that database also closed all opened tabs, even though I had opened those tabs while working with a different (and still open) database.
I cannot find a “history” of opened documents or websites, and since those tabs had content not stored in the database, I cannot use a smart group to recover them.
I’m interested in your suggestions. Should I always open in the external browser any website not stored in DT? Or should I always capture any tab I open (perhaps in a “scratch” folder)?
Thank you Christian, now I see what happened. I had two databases open, A and B. I was working within database A on 3-pane mode and it was there that I opened a few tabs.
Then I opened database C, which was also set to 3-pane mode. Worked there for a while and then when I closed it I was immediately moved to database B which was in list view mode, causing me to lose all opened tabs.
If database B were in 3-pane mode, or if it was not opened at that time, I would have been moved to database A instead after closing C, without losing any opened tabs due to A being in 3-pane mode as well.
What would you suggest? Not having database B in list view? Not having database B when not in use?
If you ask me I think it would be a good thing if an open database could “remember” the set of tabs that it had open. Could that be accomplished with a script?
