That looks like a problem with some custom command.

When are the tabs being created?

Can you share the commands you use? You can do it this way:

1. Open Commands dialog (F6 shortcut)
2. Select all commands in the side list (Ctrl+A) and click "Copy Selected" button
3. Share/paste the commands here

I don't see anything that could cause the problem.

When are the extra tabs being created?

i really dont know....i delete them regurlarly and each time its created again and again....
im trying to see when....but for now i cant conclude abotu anything

[hluk]

If the tabs appear when you start the application or change configuration, it is possible that there are some random copyq_tab_{BASE64-ENCODED-TAB-NAME}.dat data files appearing in the config folder.

Alternatively, the tabs option in the main config file gets corrupted somehow.

i will try to check each time i copy to see if the tabs are created....for now nothing....weird...
so if there is a file corrupted for the "tabs" option wat should i do? trying to export and use a empty copyq app ?
forgot to tell you but im using a portable app, synced on onedrive...:p
do you think that maybe i can have some problem of sync ? sometime i have problem with the files copyq.lock

[hluk]

Not sure how the sync to OneDrive works. It could be a problem, if you are synchronizing or sharing the app's configuration directory or specifically the data files.

The copyq.lock file is created whenever CopyQ changes or reads the files for synced tabs to avoid other app sessions to operate on those files.

Did you set the CopyQ's "config" folder to be synced with a tab? That is definitely unexpected, and it likely could cause showing up some additional corrupted tabs.

[kwanice]

😊 yes all my folder is sync on onedrive, i had 2 tabs with conflict and i have deleted the files
since yesterday i dont have this problem anymore, but sometimes it happen after few days
yeah maybe its because of synchronization problem....
but its very convenient to have that in a sync folder , for reinstallation and backup its great :p ahahah
