Couple of UI Inconsistencies

[Queuecumber]

I am really loving this extension but I think it has a couple of UI inconsistencies, if these could be ironed out it would be perfect

1. Using the File -> New menu doesn't have an option to create a new tensorboard, it should really be there for consistency
2. There is already a side panel for "running terminals and kernels" that the tensorboards should be listen in instead of making a new tab for them, that would keep all the running "things" in one place and make the side bar appear cleaner

I started preparing a pull request for this but I found the extension API to be quite poorly documented and confusing. I'm still happy to work on it but I was hoping to get some points on where to look to make the changes

Nice proposal, Thanks! But unfortunate, using the file and running terminals and kernels can't extend by other extensions, at least not work before jupyterlab v1.0.0 (i don't read any code or API after jupyterlab release the v1.0.0 version). If you want to do this, reading running-extension and filebrowser-extension in jupyterlab will be helpful.

Great suggestions, I also came across this (https://github.com/jtpio/jupyterlab-python-file) today which also look instructive for number 1.

Using that as a template I was able to make part 1 work, I'm going to submit them as separate pull requests since they are separate features

[Queuecumber]

Part 2 is currently blocked on jupyterlab/jupyterlab#6002 which provides an API to the running panel. If the owner of that PR doesn't respond soon (by this afternoon my time) I'm going to take over that PR and get it merged, then work on integrating your extension with it

[Queuecumber]

Update on this, my patch at jupyterlab/jupyterlab#6895 was merged which provides an API for the running tab, but because it is backwards incompatible it is being held until jupyterlab 2.0 releases. When that happens I'll submit a pr here to add the functionality

Jupyterlab 2.1 is out already. Any update on this?

[Queuecumber]

Thanks for the reminder, I completely forgot about this. I can probably find time to take a look at it

[simonrouse9461]

@Queuecumber Could you give it a try? I'll really appreciate that!

Working on it now
