BrainTool managed web page as tab instead of window (and, a few words about basic use) about braintool

Hi @fgilbert68 ,
Thanks for the comment and apologies for only finding it today! I had not been monitoring github for issues reported here.

Yes better documentation is key! I have updated material since you opened this issue so things are a bit better.

WRT windowing, that has been my major focus recently. I have a new version with options for tag to window mappings. I'll have a version out to beta testers early next week (I'll put a post up on the discussion group and you can LMK if you want early access).

Cheers,
Tony

Hi @fgilbert68 ,
The 0.7.0 version of BrainTool, live on the Web Store today, supports three ways of mapping tagged urls to windows and tabs.

• 'Window' is the original model whereby urls with a given tag are opened in a dedicated window.
• 'Tab Groups' uses Chrome's tab grouping mechanism to open urls with the same tag in a tab group with potentially many tab groups per window.
• 'None' is probably the one you want, it ignores windows and just opens tabs in the default working window.

LMK if you have any feedback on this model.

Thanks a lot @tconfrey!
I tried it and I like it. I will start using the extension for real now -- and it is much simpler and practical than fiddling with org-capture.
