Snapshot on Browser Close?

[Bob Joe]

What happened to the snapshots when the browser closes? They seem to have stopped working for me, or only work intermittently.

I suspect it has to do with low RAM as the snapshots tend to fail when Chrome crashes due to another intensive application eating memory. However, v3 didn't seem to have this problem.

Requesting a fix for this in future versions.

Note that if there was no activity since the last snapshot was created when the browser crashes, no "Browser closed" event gets created because it would be redundant. 

Could that be what you're observing?

If not, would you be able to provide more specifics? Eg, what is your snapshot interval set at? How long since there was any activity when the browser crashed? What's the timestamp of the last snapshot relative to when the browser crashed? How closely does the last snapshot resemble what you know the window/tab state to have been when the browser crashed?

my recommnedation would be to always create a snapshot "browser closed" on regular browser exit or browser crash even if there has been no change from the last snapshot...

this way user can be 100% sure the last state is recorded.

otherways user can be suspicious that e.g. sessionbuddy just missed the snapshot because of some internal crash etc.

Good call. Added to v4.0.4 potentials.

Could we also get the option to individually delete Snapshots? I believe we had this feature in the previous version, with a small x next to each saved session or collection.
These have been piling up and cluttering my history, with multiple being almost identical and no way to clean them up.

Thanks

You can do this already in the current version (v4.0.3) via the ⋮ menu, although that's arguably a bit tedious.

We're planning to add multi-select and tile menus for History events in the next release (v4.0.4), which will make housekeeping easier.

is the goal for snapshots/history events to have identical function as collections, like in v3? (as in, the ways you can interact with them are identical

There is significant functional overlap between the two, but they are not the same thing.

Collections are a set of related links that you deliberately intend to reference for some later purpose (for opening, copying, sharing, organizing, etc). Collections cover the same use cases as bookmarks but provide more features than, say, simple browser-based bookmarks. As such, a collection is created deliberately by you and is permanent.

History events mainly address recovery use cases. History allows you to recover from a crash, resume a session after restarting the browser, or time travel to a particular point in the past to access the exact state of open windows and tabs at that time. History events are created automatically and are ephemeral (eventually get removed).

And just to be clear, these distinctions held true for Saved Sessions vs Previous Session in Session Buddy v3 as well.
