    Default Suggestion : Session support

    I would like to 'group' my tabs into sessions (or whatever you want to call this).

    With sessions, it would be possible to open all those related tabs with one action (much like the previous-opened tabs are re-opened after a restart).

    Sessions should be editable too, so I can add or remove tabs to the group easily.

    Well it would be easily done, as there is already a facility to store a specific set of tabs/pages for use at startup - essentially an editable session as you describe.
    All the dev's would need to do is expand that a little so you can name & save multiple 'sessions', and call them at will.
    I didn't get where I am today.

    I would love to see this as well - that is by far my favorite feature of Opera, and if I ever switch to another browser as my main, it will have to have a session manager on par with it. It really is the only feature I can't do without.

    This wouldn't really make a difference to me, but I could see how it could be useful. Definitely something that should be added.

    Sounds cool! I might not use it, but I have a feeling other people will.

    Default Session Management

    I would really like this feature. I thought this would have already been made and was looking for an add-on. Sadly it hasn't been made yet.

    It would be really helpful if I could save the tabs and windows into a "session" say, session01 close that session and start another one, say session02 and at a later stage save and exit session02 or open session01 or have multiple sessions open.

    It would be really cool if tabs and windows from one session can be added/removed from one session to another using a session management applet. Think of sessions as another hierarchy of window management:

    1.Sessions
    1.1 Windows
    1.1.1 Tabs
    The session management applet should allow naming/renaming of sessions, display a time stamp for saved session, Windows and Tabs should be interchangeable within different sessions (the interchanged tab or window would need a different time stamp) and have color coding for different sessions when viewing multiple sessions.

    I hope this is built very soon! I really need it!

    Thanks much,

    DS

    Default session manager Yes please.

    I very much need this for when I have opened up 20 tabs on a topic I am researching-need to take a break- but don't want them to just get lost in my 1001 bookmarks. Also would love compatibility with Jeteye Jetpaks for similar purposes. As it is whenever I think I am getting in a situation where I will be doing above I revert to Firefox. I like Chrome enough that I would prefer to be using it.

    Default PLEASE Google - do implement this thread.

    At the moment I frequently lose much information I have researched. It is all too easy to have far too many tabs open with the result that one has to "dump" much info as tabs have to be closed to keep everything working (either Chrome or the computer itself). Otherwise everything slows to snails pace.

    I think the most "user friendly" way to save groups of tabs would be simply to have the facility to give each session a name. So as Chrome were closed a dialogue box would appear asking "do you wish to save this Session - if so give at a name here - ................".

    If no name were entered - not saved at all - for privacy addicts.

    However one additional thing would be needed since often one moves from one subject to another, and then maybe a third etc. The tabs obviously tend to accumulate in sequence from left to right and, in general, subject matter would stay grouped together. So if there were too many subjects to allocate a suitable Session Name to the whole days browsing - the extra facility needed would be to "Save all tabs to left of this tab with session name ................. - then close those tabs". Obviously once one were used to the system, the best course of action would be to save a session and close it before moving on to next research subject - that would keep Chrome working at optimum, and any past subject could easily be brought back up from the Session Name.

    Naturally Google would provide "search Session Names" facility, and list would come up showing names and dates. Best of all Google ought to be able to make this facility retrievable from another computer - so one could start a research subject at home and finish it at work!! Maybe people could even offer to share Sessions - if they thought they had a good Session of tabs on a particular subject.
