question: does it support named session?

[stephencheng]

I understand that I can use bind key to save and later to restore that saved session, but how can I create different named session? eg, when I work with session 1 - named: project1_session, then I save the session using prefix+ctrl-s, and later on I hit prefix+ctr-r to restore project1_session. It seems I can only save one session by default and it overwrites previous saved session and when restoring for session, it can only restore from last saved.

What about I need to save multiple projects? Is it possible? or I missed anything?

I'm using multiple sessions and tmux-resurrect is restoring every named session. It might be necessary to have a 0 session with nothing in it (correct me if I'm wrong). Make sure you named your sessions:

prefix+: new-session -s name
#or
prefix+: rename-session name #will rename the current session or choose a target -t 

Just tried again and it's restoring my sessions just fine :).

Thanks. It did work, however it loads up all the saved sessions in one go.

It's not clearly said if I can only load up one of the saved/hibernated session but not all of them. Possible? and how?

Hey, yea, saving and restoring multiple sessions should work without problems. That's the core feature.

but how can I create different named session?

If you have troubles creating new named sessions, you might want to look into tmux-sessionist that gives you prefix + C to do just that (among other things).

It's not clearly said if I can only load up one of the saved/hibernated session but not all of them. Possible?

I see what you mean, but this is not possible.

Thanks. Also, how can I remove/delete the saved sessions if I don't need them any more, I found all of them will come back to life though I don't want it that way.

Hrmm. I guess most of us have been concerned with resurrecting the same sessions. I'm working with the files in .tmux/resurrect right now anyway so maybe I'll just put a note in my queue to write a script that will purge old (unwanted) sessions?

[soyuka]

tmux kill-session and save again ?

[stephencheng]

ok, I finally got the idea, the save operation is to all sessions, it's not a per session based. Thanks to soyuka for hitting the point.
