Pigsflew:

Those IDs look like UUIDs, which have a defined format. Is it possible it doesn't work because you changed one of the letters rather than generating a new UID? or was that attempted as well?

Upon rereading the page, it looks like you weren't aware of UUID/GUIDs. Those are "Universally Unique Identifiers" (or Globally). The use of them basically ensures that the tabs wouldn't get confused, even if you had a hundred that had the same name. For technical info about the standard, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID Wikipedia's page]. To generate your own, [http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen here] is a quick UUID generator.

Right...that is why i said to change that identifer for a new tab. either way, since these different from device-to-device, i dont know how you would write a patch since the filenames will never be the same

Sorry, my thought was it might be that the format of the GUID matters; I'm probably wrong, there doesn't seem to be a checksum or anything. You're right--doing a patch would be difficult--easier to do a node.js service with an app frontend that controls it perhaps? I'd be glad to help out once my touchpad arrives, should be here tomorrow or thursday.
