Idea: "save as bookmarks" (or "move to bookmarks") instead of "save as sessions"?

[akavel]

I actually wanted to request adding "move to bookmarks" as a feature in TMP, before I found #13. After reading #13, a thought occurred to me, that saving as bookmarks instead of JSON "sessions" might kinda resolve some concerns you raised in #13. Specifically, I would expect most people are familiar enough with bookmarks, that they already have a reasonable mental model of how they work in their browser. Thus, I'd expect they could automatically get the intuition that history & entered data will not be preserved for bookmarks. I would think some specific folder in bookmarks named e.g. "Tab Manager Plus" could be used for storing per-window folders. Also, I think import & export button could potentially be removed then, and delegated to the browser's native features.

I like this idea. How can we move forward with it?
I want to take advantage of the synchronization feature of Chrome to save sessions a group of tabs/windows.

I want to take advantage of the synchronization feature of Chrome to save sessions a group of tabs/windows.

While this is a bit of a sidestep from Tab-Manager-Plus, I've long been using Sesh for this purpose, though it doesn't currently have support for tab groups:

• https://github.com/yujiberra/sesh
  • Add support for saving/restoring tab groups yujiberra/sesh#3

You can also find a bunch of semi-related research I did for adding a similar feature to my own 'NewWindowWithTabsToRight' chrome extension:

• Save/Restore tabs 0xdevalias/chrome-NewWindowWithTabsToRight#6
• Support for Chrome's Tab Groups 0xdevalias/chrome-NewWindowWithTabsToRight#10
