157412 - Save this group of Tabs

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[Alan]

You can currently bookmark a group of tags, what I would really like to be able
to Select a directory and save a whole group of tabs there instead of having to
save all the currently open tabs one by one.

Probably should be marked as dupe of bug 157422, as that bug description is more
complete.

Comment 2

[Garth Wallace]

Not necessarily a dup. That bug is for saving the group of tabs *as a single
file*, so that opening that file in Mozilla automatically opens those tabs. I
think that this one may be for a feature with the same effect as selecting "Save
Page As..." for each tab.

This is not a duplicate of bug 157422 if anything this blocks  bug 157422.  
Appropriate comments added to  bug 157422.  
(and no matter how immature it might be i would deeply resent being marked as a
duplicate of a bug that was posted later than me)


What i am looking to do is save myself having to do the same repetitive task of
saving each individual page over and over again.   
If there is a way to do something like this using scripting (javascript
preferably) i might be able to hack together a workaround.

There is a project at mozdev that seems to be looking at similar issues

to comment #4

actually the "Leech" add-on allows you to download multiple targets within *one
browser window* at once - as I understand it, this is not the wanted feature

however, there's another mozdev add-on called "Multizilla" which can "Save the
open tabs as 'Tab Session'" - see http://multizilla.mozdev.org/features/index.html

I'm thinking I should withdraw my request and close this report.  

Users do want to quickly and easily download all kinds of content - despite the attempts of some sites to make this more difficult - this much should be obvious to most people.  

How best to address that desire is a whole other question.

I'm closing this as WONTFIX. I don't think this should be in core code and it
certainly sounds like extension fodder e.g. the Session Manager Extension. And on SeaMonkey 2.0 we have session restore for more basic fuctionality
