  If this is labeled a 'sidebar' extension why does it not show up in my sidebar? I'm new to OPERA, and have learned that the DEVELOPER is responsible for coding an extension either for the Opera upper extension bar or for the Opera sidebar. Since you have labeled the app as a SIDEBAr app, and have included this app with several other 'V' Sidebar apps, please make it SIDEBAR accessible or Edit your description so it is clear.

  Sorry, this is a simple complaint, but it seems to me to also be an easy fix (or simply change the description) on the developers part.

  I've not read the other reviews/comments, but I'm almost positive many of the complaints are also requesting the same.

  Not sure what all the complaints are about, this ext does exactly what I expect from a "session manager", restoring the tabs from a browser window.

  ** Feature request ** If it's possible, please have it restore pinned tabs to the pinned state. Thanks!

  Thought this was a session saver. It's not. It doesn't work. I see where it has noted the number of tabs but doesn't restore anything. Hate it.

  Superficially, this is a very nice extension. But, be warned: This is NOT a Session Manager, in the sense that it will save the URL history contained by a "real" Tab. In effect, this is more of a fancy Bookmark Manager.

  DO NOT delete your original browser session window after "Restoring" one of these "Sessions" unless you understand what is happening. Otherwise, you will lose all your Tab history!

  So far, I have not found any extension that will save Tab history other than the browser itself. If you know of one, please share.

  If the Tab URL history actually worked, I would second the "Swap Session" feature request described by "red". As it is, in practice, a "Swap Session" feature, instead, would be a quick way to actually forever destroy your Tab history!

  ----

  Update: It would seem that the V7 History extension provides a kind of access to the browser history when using the "search" field in the V7 History side-bar control frame. And then, the loss of Tab history would seem to be just a rather crude design flaw, where the available URL history has not actually been associated with each managed Tab.

  Our otherwise anonymous developer "vux777" is clearly a skilled and talented User Interface builder, so this thing with the lost Tab history is really a frustrating tease.

  Update: Tab History Extensions

  I found some solutions for Tab History.

  First, install "Install Chrome Extensions", and Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions

  There are two extensions that can work. The more featureful is "Recent Tabs with your browsing history". This warns that it "requires APIs that aren't fully support in Opera" which I suspect has to do with Device Sync feature that I do not use. And the simpler "SimpleUndoRecents" which is limited to only the last 10 closed tabs.

  But then, I finally noticed, on the right of the Tab Bar, Opera has its own Tab Menu, with Recently closed Tab History, with - I guess I should call it - URL History. So maybe these extensions do not add any new functionality.

  Now, if only V7 Sessions supported organizing this Opera Tab History with URL History into "Sessions". We can always dream...

  BTW, a reminder, to view the V7 Session Editor, there seems to be no button for this in the Sessions pop-up window. Instead, select Opera Menu/Extensions/Extensions Bar, or Ctrl+Shift+S, and select the V7 Sessions icon.

  So helpful! I have sessions for all my classes at school and current projects. Helps me stay organized and makes working on different projects easy to leave and come back to. Just follow the tutorial cause there's a lot packed into a tight space.

  Mmm, it doesn't quite do what I was looking for:

  I had multiple windows open, with multiple tabs in each window. I had enough of having so many windows and tabs open at the same time, so I used to minimize them to the Dock (in MacOS) in order not to lose them for the next time I needed them. So basically I just wanted an extension that could save all these windows with their tabs, and automatically update these windows when adding/removing tabs.
  
  Unfortunately, with v7 Sessions, you are going to have to add new tabs or remove closed tabs manually to your saved windows/sessions, which defeats the purpose, OR, with the auto-save function enabled, have v7 create new sessions every time instead of updating just one single session like I was hoping to; plus, if you close a window, it won't be saved in the session, as it only saves open windows, and if you want to retrieve that window later on, you would have to go back to the last auto-saved session where you had that window open.

  Basically, I just wanted to put my windows in a sidebar list and close them instead of minimizing them to the Dock (or leaving all of them open), so if you're too looking for this kind of feature you may want to look elsewhere.

  Feature idea:

  I see there is a request from [jfines] for a "restore Session in the current window", which I like, because I prefer having only one window.

  How about a "Swap Session" option, to swap the active session and the saved one, in one swift move?

  I - L O V E this thing! I only wish I had found it sooner.

  There is just, one teensie weensie little thing that I wish is did ( or should I say, didn't do, and I have a suggestion that may be useful for implementing the functionality ).

  I really, really wish that when a session were restored it would 'replace' the existing window/tab instead of adding the restored to it.

  I haven't seen the code so I dont' know how this thing is designed. It may be that what I suggest here does not fit at all with the design of the plugin - however - I did think it a 'logical' solution that would 'logically' seem to make this plugin behave that way ...

  If, per chance, the initially opened window/tab were to be treated AS a session itself ( the browser has to be launched to access the plugin and in so doing you end up with an opened window/tab that is not part of the session you might later restore ). If the initial window were treated like a session ( saved as such behind the scenes ) then the "Replace Session" function could be called upon it and you 'should' get the desired functionality - right?

  I don't know either way but I wanted to share my thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to create and maintain this plugin ( it's so useful to me ).

  Thanks
  Jake
  -----------------

  PS: Would the code be as maintainable ( more/less? ) if the replace session functionality were where the restore session functionality comes from?

  Also, it could conceivably become 'added' functionality by having controls for both 'add session ( the current behavior )' as well as 'replace session ( the suggested behavior )'.
