Cache unloaded tabs on disk?

[duyei]

I just started using BarTab a couple of days ago, and it has done a great job of reducing memory and CPU usage... thanks for writing it! One question: Would it be possible to cache unloaded tabs on disk? That way, the tab content would be available whenever the original content isn't, in cases such as:

• no internet connectivity (as in issue #56)
• the content has disappeared from the server
• the content is the result of a form (e.g., a receipt from an online purchase)
• content is limited-time access (e.g., a news article that's free for 7 days, then only available at a charge afterward)

I suppose you'd need options for selectively turning caching on/off (e.g., caching when tab unloaded automatically, but not manually) and a hook to delete the cached content when the tab is closed.

Thanks!

Also, that would provide faster reopening of a tab.

It would also be a better solution for issue #56. In my workflow, I have an internet connectivity and some unloaded tabs. When I'm in the train, I can't access those unloaded tabs.
