I started off using Crash Recovery, now I'm using Session Manager.
It's a great extension, but I have just one little problem...
Scenario:
> open a session containing 3 tabs
> then open a session containing less than 3 tabs
> tab #3 of the first session is displayed (this is the only tab open) -- nothing opens in the second session.
It seems like if there are more tabs in the current session than there are in the newly selected session, Session Manager has a problem with it.
I have tried it several times to make sure, and it does it every time.
Settings: [X]Replace existing windows
Any help with this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks, Doug
EDIT
I just opened a session containing 4 tabs, then opened a session containing 3 tabs.
The last 3 tabs of the first session remained, and nothing was displayed in the second session.
After more experimenting I have determined this:
If #tabs in current session > #tabs in new session, the new session does not display.
If #tabs in current session =< #tabs in new session, then the new session displays correctly.

Sessionsaver Problems:
- Here's one: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324864
- Bulkier (some consider this bad) and less stable than Session Manager
- Once in a while it loses session information on restore (For me, the last straw was when I lost a whole important session because a problem occured during the recovery attempt. Sessionsaver "poisoned" and discarded the whole session!)
- The project hasn't been touched in months; thus, bugs are festering
And another good reason to change from Sessionsaver to Session Manager is because you're itching to.

Here's what I did:
> Uninstalled newest Tab Mix Plus 0.3
> Installed old Tab Mix Plus 0.2.5.2
> Installed the latest Session Manager (from here)
> Set Remembered Open Tabs and Windows to in Session Manager to "0"
So now I have Tab Mix's Closed Tabs toolbar button that works, and I have this awesome Session Manager (plus crash recovery) that saves login cookies and post data.
Cool

Re: Session Manager 0.3 [Mar 04]
@Recall: All-in-one Gestures 0.17 seems to work flawlessly with Session Manager installed. Do you get any error messages in the JS console? Do you experience the same problems on a clean profile?
@AnonEmoose: Fairly straightforward... As of version 0.3, you'll have to look for all lines starting with postdata=. To get readable text, copy the value, open the JS console, enter decodeURI("") in the text line, insert the copied text between the quotation marks and hit evaluate.
@C@rb0n: Take care about your head - nobody is forcing you to jump through AnonEmoose's hoops.
@desertfox: The closed windows/tabs list is available through the toolbar button. If somebody donates an appropriate icon, I'd even think about providing a second toolbar button for just the list...
@dougeeebear: The mentioned issue should be fixed in <a href="http://www.haslo.ch/zeniko/software/sessionmanager.xpi">version 0.3</a>.
@rwabel: The main difference should be in usability: With Session Manager you don't have to wonder, how to delete a session, nor how to get to the advanced options, nor how to move just one session from one computer to another (that's as simple as copying a file), nor which version you're using, nor where its homepage is (and this thread won't get as long as to become unsearchable)... ~ A second difference is that I try to keep the code simple and clean - you'll note this in quicker bug fixes and hopefully improved reliability. And this might further improve, since Session Manager might get a full code audit by several Mozilla developers soon, because a fork of its core component is considered for inclusion into Firefox 2 (project name: SessionStore).

@zeniko:
Great job! It is working as it should now.
Thank you for such a fast response.
Also, I was getting an error on Rename Session before, but now it 's working ok.
A couple requests:
Would it be possible to make the popup dialog boxes resizable and remembered?
I would like to be able to raise them if possible.
Also, in the options dialog, could there be a checkbox option to show/hide the "general options" in the menu (the bottom three menu items).
They tend to be a bit intrusive in a lengthy session list.
That's all for now
Thanks again for a great extension.

They look nice. I'd however prefer some changes:
* The green should be replaced by something more associated with the content area (e.g. white).
* The floppy disk could use slighly more contrast (the lower parts seem to blur somewhat into each other on my display).
* For the undo close window/tab, I'd rather thought of something like a trash can or some rounded "Recycle" arrows. The X looks to much like a close-tab button (i.e. I'm not sure people will understand the meaning of this button).
* And then I'd also need a 32x32px version of the first button to replace the extension's icon.
Anyway, thanks for your efforts.
As for your two requests:
* As of <a href="http://www.haslo.ch/zeniko/software/sessionmanager.xpi">version 0.3.0.2</a> the dialogs are all resizable.
* And to hide the options in the menu, you can add the following to your userChrome.css (replace #sessionmanager-menu with #sessionmanager-toolbar for the toolbar button's menu):
Code: Select all
#sessionmanager-menu menuseparator[_id="options-separator"],
#sessionmanager-menu menuitem[_id="resume"],
#sessionmanager-menu menuitem[_id="reload"],
#sessionmanager-menu menuitem[_id="overwrite"] {
display: none !important;

hehe.... I was attempting to point out SessionManager had saved the info even if it wasn't being displayed.... actually I use decodeURI but i thought the Find/Replace stuff would be easier to explain (it also would work with the '+' signs)... oh well !!!! lol.......
