Feature Request: In Window View, allow "Save Window as a new Session". #53

Open rwpalmer opened 5 years ago

rwpalmer commented 5 years ago

I am always juggling multiple software projects and researching multiple topics which I keep in separate windows.

Projects usually have a core set tabs open, but I may open additional tabs when I test and debug. When I go to shut-down, I need to be able to save all of the open tabs, so that I an resume work where I left off.

Session Sync helps me manage this, but it would be A LOT easier if I could simply open a new browser window, create my tabs, and save it as a named session. I could then restore the named session to a new window when I resume work.

Thanks for feedback. I'm not really sure I get what exactly do you mean. For me it seems that what you want can already be done.

if I could simply open a new browser window, create my tabs, and save it as a named session. I could then restore the named session to a new window when I resume work. What exactly does it prevents you to do exactly that ?!

  1. open a new browser window and create tabs (I assume this is not related to my addon and you mean the browser so you can already do that)
  2. save it as a named session ->you can do that... Save only a certain window... or all of them at the same time... Just make sure you chose the saving mode properly image
  3. Rename the session

Do you mean that you would like to have a checkbox for each tab in the UI to be able to chose if you want to save it or not ? (P.S This will be implemented for sure in a next release)

What I was asking for was something like the following:

  1. Open a Window View
  2. Right-click on "Window 1" and select "Save Window as a Named Session" Type a new session name and click "Save"

I had no idea that the "Show all Windows" slider had anything to do with how sessions were saved. I'll see if I can make that work.

Thank you.
