Requests - session save forever, menubar item

Jasmer

Hello,

Great app! Quick questions:

Session Save Forever
I love the autosave session option with a choice of versions, but I want to be able to save a session and never have it pushed out. In other words, if I have autosave every 10 min/5 version enabled I don't want it to purge a session I choose to keep. Is it possible to pin a session that won't be deleted? So I can have 10 min/5 sessions enabled and pinned sessions as well that never delete. - If it had that feature I'd buy this app immediately!
Menubar Item
PLEASE add a menubar item/hide app in dock so I don't have to have the app open in my dock.
I would like to see the autosave alerts disabled while any manual sessions saves do have alerts. It just gets tedious with an alert every 10 min on autosave.
I have Big Sur installed, are there any current issues?

Thanks so much,

Jas

Hi Jas,

you can perform any kind of edit on an autosave session, and it will become a permanent session. ie change the session name.
Do you need the app open? SessionRestore functions without the app open as long as you have the extension enabled in Safari.
I cant see the benefit in having alerts for manual saves, as 'you know you just saved a session'. How about disbaling alerts altogether?
As far as I'm aware, I don't know of any part from the obvious cosmetic issues. Ill be updating all my apps in the coming few weeks. I dont have it installed on my main machine as of yet, just an external ssd - Ive ordered a new M1 Air, and will be keeping this machine on Catalina until ive finished transitioning all the apps to Big Sur.

Thanks!

To recap from our previous discussion, my 3 requests are, in this order:

Ability to reorder windows/tab groups. You mentioned you'd get to that when you have time. Thanks! This is particularly important because I will use the app to store tab groups/windows because I currently have 30 windows open with 10-30 tabs each and it's slowing down Safari. So I'd like to save a session, rename and reorder the tab groups/windows, then close the windows in my current session of Safari. When I need them, I'll go back to SessionRestore and relaunch a given tab group/window.
Add undo (Command + Z) when combining windows/tab groups for example. It would be nice if it functioned on all app actions.
iOS/iPadOS app! That would be amazing to sync these tab groups!

If those three things were added, I think the app would be nearly perfect!

Another item if you feel it's worthy:

I have tried multiple apps for restoring and saving sessions and this is clearly the most advanced solution!

Thank you for making great apps!
