TidyTabs Configuration > Exceptions

Because not every app need tabs, TidyTabs try to automatically detect which window should not be tabbed. However, you can bypass this automatic detection to force TidyTabs showing or hiding tabs for specific windows. This is done by adding exclusion rules in the EXCEPTIONS tab of the TidyTabs configuration screen. To access this screen, double-click on the TidyTabs tray icon, at the bottom-right corner of the screen, and click on EXCEPTIONS.

The EXCEPTIONS tab

• Whitelist: this section allows you to add windows that should always be tabbed, even if TidyTabs thinks they should not.
  • Add button: click on this button to add a window to the whitelist. A Rule Editor dialog will open, allowing you to specify a rule to match the window you want to add.
  • Delete button: click on this button to remove the selected rule from the whitelist.
  • Edit button: click on this button to edit the selected rule in the whitelist. A Rule Editor dialog will open, allowing you to modify the rule.
• Blacklist: this section allows you to add windows that should never be tabbed, even if TidyTabs thinks they should.
  • Add button: click on this button to add a window to the blacklist. A Rule Editor dialog will open, allowing you to specify a rule to match the window you want to add.
  • Delete button: click on this button to remove the selected rule from the blacklist.
  • Edit button: click on this button to edit the selected rule in the blacklist. A Rule Editor dialog will open, allowing you to modify the rule.
