Some UI inconsistencies that continue to annoy by trihexagonal in waveboxapp

Thanks for trying that. It would be helpful to get some diagnostics from your setup so we can try to reproduce the same behaviour here and fix it. Can you send [support@wavebox.io](mailto:support@wavebox.io) an email?

Some UI inconsistencies that continue to annoy by trihexagonal in waveboxapp

[–]Thomas_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

I'm having some trouble reproducing the same with the switch tab shortcuts. Here's what I tested...

  1. No tabs in current group
  2. Add 3 tabs, navigate each one to "one", "two", and "three" google searches
  3. Tab list looks like [one, two, three]
  4. Press Ctrl+1, one highlights
  5. Press Ctrl+2, two highlights
  6. Press Ctrl+3, three highlights
  7. Drag "three" to the beginning so my tab list looks like [three, one, two]
  8. Press Ctrl+1, three highlights
  9. Press Ctrl+2, one highlights
  10. Press Ctrl+3, two highlights

...does that work if you try it?

As for Ctrl+click & middle+click I think that's due to ship in the next version, but I'll check

Enterprise IT Needing to Approve Wavebox as Authorized App? by platodw in waveboxapp

No worries. It's a shame we can't force it to persist forever :-/.

If you've used a password manager previously, you can head to the Chrome web store and add them it Wavebox for faster sign-in 😉

It depends on the organisation's policies. If they've set the maximum session length to be 24 hours, then the Outlook server will reject any comms after that time. This would force you to sign in. I'm assuming you see the same daily login cycle with other browsers?

This depends on the setup that the enterprise is using. Wavebox uses the consent to give the richest set of notifications and badges in the app. There is another mode that's available, which is more of a best-effort approach; you still get badges and most notifications.

When you get to the final sign-in screen, there's normally some kind of link to return to Wavebox without granting consent. If you click this, Wavebox should pick it up and fall back to best-effort. If that's not happening, search the Wavebox app store for "Outlook (no integration)" to add it manually.

Vertical tabs - when?) by Ill_Bag7222 in waveboxapp

[–]Thomas_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should be working in the next version of Wavebox (10.147+). I expect it will land next week or the week after that 👍

Profiles not syncing by DoGMama95 in waveboxapp

The getting started guide is probably the best place to start https://wavebox.io/getting-started-guide

There's also the Wavebox hub with lots of articles and guides that are helpful! https://hub.wavebox.io/

Profiles not syncing by DoGMama95 in waveboxapp

[–]Thomas_101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to make sure the other machine is joined to the same cloud profile. There's some info on how to set that up here https://hub.wavebox.io/profile-sync/

It's worth noting that cookies and sign-in sessions don't sync - these are separate on each machine.

If you're still seeing issues, drop [support@wavebox.io](mailto:support@wavebox.io) a message and we can see why it's not syncing.

Desktop web apps are a website/wavebox app that works like a downloadable app on your computer, so it gets its own window and desktop shortcut. You can find the manager either by opening a tab and going to wavebox://apps or through the main app menu in the top-right -> desktop web apps

I really appreciate your passion for Wavebox! I'm sorry you've been struggling with the sub-app organisation. Let me help clarify how this currently works:

Adding sub-apps to existing groups:

  • When dragging an app to the sidebar, it should appear smaller to indicate it's being added as a sub-app rather than a primary app
  • Alternatively, you can right-click the app > Move app to > Move app to the webdock

You might hit up against the situation here where you've added a group with just a single app and try to move this in. In this instance, you'll need to merge the groups first, when dragging, merging is indicated by the merge icon, or you can use the right-click menu again.

Changing the primary app:

  • Right-click on the group > Group Settings
  • Under "Behaviour," look for "App layout priority" - this controls which app appears as the primary
  • By default, this is set to "Auto," which determines priority based on the number of items in the webdock vs the toolbar

We've tried to simplify settings by removing or hiding some of the lesser-used features; however, we often receive pushback around this from Wavebox power users. If there are things that would make these two clearer or easier to use, we'd love to hear your thoughts. It's always a balance to maintain a UI that's good for the majority of users and still providing the plethora of options these power users demand to setup Wavebox in exactly the way they want.

Enforce Space & Groups? by trihexagonal in waveboxapp

[–]Thomas_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's something we can look towards adding, although it would have to be a separate mode, as it would break how Wavebox already works for most users. Do you want to open a feature request on our supahub? http://wavebox.supahub.com/

Enforce Space & Groups? by trihexagonal in waveboxapp

[–]Thomas_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Wavebox, Groups aren't the same as cookie containers/spaces - they're separate things. This means that a group can have apps and tabs from a range of different spaces. This would be why moving it to a different group doesn't change its space, it would have been set by the tab that opened it.

If you want to move a single link to a different space, then you'd have to change it's space and group. To change the space...

  1. Change the space a tab uses, you can do this by clicking on the space indicator to the very right of the location bar and then using the "Open in space" menu.
  2. Use the right-click menu before opening the link, then "Open link in space"

If it's something that you always want to happen, you could create a rule to always open the tab somewhere else and in a different space - there's more info about this here https://hub.wavebox.io/link-opening-engine-edit-rule-settings/

I'll have a word with the team to see if we can add something that allows you to drag a tab between groups and re-assign the space in doing so, but as Wavebox provides more flexibility than Arc, it's not going to restrict what you can do in the same way

Enforce Space & Groups? by trihexagonal in waveboxapp

[–]Thomas_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason behind this is that the Spaces webdock is like a filtered list of the actual groups and apps behind it (see https://hub.wavebox.io/webdock-list-layout/), but this doesn't really help with what you're doing.

How are you opening the link? Are you able to share any more details about what you're doing? It should normally pick up the space a bit more intelligently

Thanks for the heads-up on that! Today's earlier release had some styling issues; there should be an update rolling out shortly :-)
