Hi Boris,
Thank you for the kind words; I'm happy that you find TabCarousel useful!
Actually, TabCarousel does work the way you describe; it loads URL currently in the tab:
chrome.tabs.update(tabId, url: t.url)
Originally, it did simply refresh, but I noted the problem you mentioned above.
I am interested in taking a look in what might be going wrong in this case, however. Could you give an example of a URL that exhibits this problem, please?
Unfortunately, I can't speak to a timeframe on implementing your request (although I like it) since TabCarousel is something I maintain in my spare time. If you know JavaScript/CoffeeScript, contributions are welcome! 😄 Otherwise, Flattr is always an option:
Best wishes,

Hi Ben,
Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately most of our urls are behind a login, however here is a different example: http://www.irt.org/articles/js021/test.htm
Will TabCarousel go back to this page even though it redirects somewhere else in 10 seconds? Here's another scenario:
- Chrome is set to open a url at load
- The page requires authentication and lastpass automatically logs in
- The website does not auto-forward to the originally requested url (it would be great if TabCarousel jumped in here and tried loading the originally requested url anyway)
Does that sound possible?
Thanks again,

Hi Boris,
That sounds like a possibility. My current thinking is that TabCarousel could take a "snapshot" of the URLs that are open when the toolbar button is clicked.
To illustrate:
TabCarousel has not been activated
Tab 1: http://www.irt.org/articles/js021/test.htm
Tab 2: http://some.page.org/that/requires/a/login.html
Tab 3: http://status.someservice.com/
The TabCarousel button is clicked. The URLs for the tabs should be the above, even if you had gotten redirected after starting, you had to log in, etc.
If that works for you, it seems possible. However, there are some weird cases you could fall into if a tab is closed or opened while TabCarousel is running. Those would need to be thought out.
Thanks for taking the time to write in about this!

Hi Ben,
Yes, that sounds perfect and I bet it would solve this issue!
The only (potentially) tricky point I can think of is getting to the urls before they are redirected. I have chrome set to to auto-open certain pages and auto-start TabCarousel. In this case TabCarousel would need to take the snapshot of the urls before they are redirected to a login page (which might happen almost instantaneously).
Thank you for your quick replies and for looking at this!

No problem! It will probably be a while before I can implement this, but I am hoping to make another release to clean up some issues users have reported.
Best wishes,
