This is definitely an awesome extension, better that TMP' session manager (that's why I got it), 'cause more versatile ...
But ...
If I knew that it saves the session information in an even more convoluted format that TMP, I never would have switched to it,
since now it seems I can't go back easily and convert the session info into one for another browser! (Emacs' almost choking
on that super chunky thing - all information in one (1!) line (~200 tabs)! Why would you want to have it like that?)
Therefor ... could some one point at some method to get a nicer format of the session file - or even disclose the structure, so
I could adapt my convertion of the original "session.rdf" format (that's used by TMP, too)?
Or even better, does a conversion tool, or - even way better - does an export tool exist?
I plan to go back using Opera, as it is much more resource friendly ... sad but true :-(
Thanks.
PS: While I was typing that gedit is trying hard to open one of SM's session files ... and
hasn't opened it yet. (I'm on a i7 960, so ... :-(
PPS: Btw ... one reason to switch from TMP to SM was Firefox's (3.6.x) utter resource hogging
(nightmarish, even on my machine).
But eventually I found that it is just the - for me totally unimportant - saving of the session
state and/or the including of POST data in it. Set to max. time interval 16min) / turned it off and
Firefox is behaving! :-)
Still I want to use slower machines and exchange session data, so ...
