I would like to request an important feature in Session Buddy.   I want to be able to close all Windows and tabs except for the currently open Session Buddy tab.   If I want to investigate which Chrome tab is taking up CPU, I need to be able to have Session Buddy be the only open Window.  Then I can manually restart each window in a saved Session Buddy collection, looking for that one Window that makes CPU permanently jump higher.  To manually close down 50+ windows manually is very cumbersome.

I'd like this feature too :-)

Yea, this is one of a whole slew of use cases made difficult or impossible by the current inability to select tabs within the SB UI.

In Session Buddy v4, you'll be able to select multiple tabs and perform actions on them.

Attached is a demo of how you'll be able to achieve what you're asking by selecting a range of tabs with shift-click, then closing them all at once.

When I right click on a tab, I get options, "close other tabs" and "Close tabs to right".
Could you use one of those?

These would only apply to the current window?   What if I have 50 Chrome browser windows, each with multiple tabs, open?

Is there a way for you to programmatically open a single window/tab and bypass all of the remembered windows/tabs?
