はじめに

初めてIssueを書きます。拙いところがあればすみません。
Tablacus Explorer をいつも便利に使わせてもらっています。無料で提供されていることが信じられないほど助かっています。
長年継ぎ足しで発展してきたのに破綻しないのは、素晴らしいアーキテクチャだと思います。
若輩からの要望で申し訳ありませんが、ご検討いただけると嬉しいです。

（自分のやる気が出れば、可能であればPRも作りたい所存です）

要望内容

「タブグループボタン（Tab group button）」拡張に、「グループの追加」ボタンを実装してほしいです。

背景 / 現状の課題

現状のタブグループボタンは、すでに追加済みのグループしか表示されないため、
このボタン（UI）だけでは タブグループの編集（追加作業）を完結できません。

• 表示されるのは既存グループのみ
• 新しいグループを追加するには、別の設定画面/手段に移動する必要がある
• その結果、タブグループ管理の導線が分断されてしまっている

期待する挙動（案）

タブグループボタンのUI上で、既存グループ一覧に加えて **「＋ グループ追加」**のようなボタンを表示し、
そこから新規グループを作成できるようにしてほしいです。

例：

• ボタン押下 → グループ名入力ダイアログ → 追加
• 追加後、一覧に即反映（必要なら並び順も維持）

環境

• Tablacus Explorer: TE64 25.12.31 Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise 64 ビット 23H2 (10.0.22631) Dark WebView2/144.0.3719.115 JS/Chakra.dll ja 96 Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 165U Windows Defender
• 該当拡張: タブグループボタン（tabgroupsbutton）

Preface (optional)

Hi, this is my first time opening an issue—sorry if anything is unclear.
Thank you for Tablacus Explorer; it’s incredibly useful, and I really appreciate the continuous development over many years.

If I get motivated and have time, I’d like to contribute a PR as well.

Feature Request

Please add an “Add Group” button to the Tab Group Button add-on/extension.

Problem / Current Behavior

Currently, the Tab Group Button UI only shows already-added existing groups.
Because of that, I cannot complete tab group management from this UI alone—creating a new group requires going elsewhere (e.g., another settings/config screen), which breaks the workflow.

In short:

• Only existing groups are listed
• There is no obvious way to create a new group from the button UI
• Managing tab groups is not self-contained within this add-on’s UI

Expected Behavior (Proposal)

Add an “+ Add Group” button (or similar) within the Tab Group Button UI so that users can create new groups directly.

Possible interaction:

1. Click “+ Add Group”
2. Enter a group name (dialog/input)
3. The new group appears in the list immediately (and is usable right away)

Environment

• Tablacus Explorer version: TE64 25.12.31 Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise 64 ビット 23H2 (10.0.22631) Dark WebView2/144.0.3719.115 JS/Chakra.dll ja 96 Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 165U Windows Defender
• Add-on name: tabgroupsbutton

I don't get it, to use a Tab groups button addon, a Tab groups addon is required:

Once you have the both addons installed, in Tab group addon there already exists a New group button ("+"):

Therefore, why do you want another same New group button in Tab groups button addon?

Hukasan: Environment Add-on name: tabgroupsbutton

And where the h... do you have required Tab groups addon? Did you miss to install it?

@Hukasan,

You can either:

• click the button, then right-click a group; OR
• right-click the button, then click a group

to show the tab group menu, and choose "New tab". Clumsy but possible.

@KuruKuruYokocho,

The patched version has been enhanced to manage tab groups easier by a menu and sub-menus. Right-click is no longer required.

You must use TE 25.6.8 as the base version and run a command script to patch it. Steps:

1. Install a new copy of TE250608.
2. Delete the addons folder from the new copy.
3. Copy addons and config (and icons, if any) folders from your current TE to the new copy.
4. From Command Prompt:
   i. Run Patch.cmd or PatchAdd.cmd with the path of the new copy.
   ii. If you want to turn off WebView2 extension, go to the directory of the new copy and run SwitchWebView2.cmd OFF.
