SessionRestore stopped saving sessions 3 days ago
-
@SweetP Same here. I'm running 2.6.7. It works for a while and then a few days later, it stops working at all. Seems like a memory leak.
-
June 20 I upgraded to Mavericks and Safari 15. No Session Restore saving at all, not even for a short while. It seems to point to an incompatibility in the last upgrade of the 2.6.7 software which is when I upgraded the whole OS and it upgraded Session Restore as well. PLEASE help as I have nothing saved recently.
-
@rhawk301 do you mean macOS Monterey? Session restore doesn’t work in Mavericks.
Have you tried restarting safari, and the SessionRestore main app?
Also check your autosave settings on SessionRestore Preferences
-
@SweetP I am still seeing the same problem with v2.6.7.1, and now restarting Safari (15.5) and SessionRestore app does not fix it, whereas before it worked for awhile after restarting those.
-
Sorry about that, you are right...Of course it is Monterey 12.4
I also cannot solve the problem just be re-starting. Is there a manual installer? Maybe like something I can "repair" the installation with? I can't seem to figure out how to repair using the current Apple store version. Maybe an un-install and re-install perhaps. But please advise. Thanks.
-
I have a Beta version ready, which I hope fixes this. If anyone is running the version from my store, I’ll post a download link later tonight, and it would be great if any of you could try it and let me know if it solves your problem.
-
Here is a Beta build which I hope fixes this issue:
https://sweetpproductions.com/products/sessionrestore/SessionRestoreBeta.zipPlease backup your sessions first!
-
@SweetP This beta is removed (404) now. Was it a version before 2.6.8 released? Or something newer? I Would like to test it out, yes, because I even installed manually and back through the store and it still does not work.
If there is a logfile for further debugging I can turn on? Perhaps when SR is activated, it can tell me why it fails to add the session to the backup.
Thanks.
-
@rhawk301 I released the beta as version 2.6.8

Ive just released v2.6.9 (App Store version still needs to be reviewed) can you let me know if that works better
-
@SweetP So it must have worked, yay! Over the weekend my Mac updated your extension to 2.7 automatically and I am now storing auto-save sessions. Thanks again!
-
@SweetP Well, it DID work. I Then clicked on the "manual save" button and SessionRestore itself crashed, and will not re-start. I noticed that I am running that newer 2.7 version and it briefly said grabbing iCloud Sessions data. I assume that means its saving sessions to the cloud now?
So interesting enough, I have up-to-date sessions saved today, but the program itself now crashes on start. Please advise.
-
@rhawk301 v2.7.2 is the latest version. Could you try updating
-
@SweetP ok, and the verdict is….YAY! It loads again.
I started SR and fine, loaded Safari, it immediately loaded iCloud data, fine. Then I saved session from both the app, and Safari, and still fine.
So it checks out. -
@rhawk301 great!
finally
-
@SweetP It seems to be working for me, too. Thanks! Such a huge relief.
I'm curious what the issue was.

@cbrannon a bunch of things.
When I wrote SessionRestore, I had to write some of the code in Objective C, as the Swift calls weren't working for some reason. I rewrote that code in Swift (SessionRestore is written in Swift) as it started causing crashing now for some reason.I added some more checks to help make the Autosave timer more reliable.
And finally, I added code to clear duplicate iCloud sessions, which was maybe causing memory issues and crashing.
