How does 'Session Buddy' decide which tabs and windows to record? What triggers it? Automatically

[Anthony Leone]

I think i am maybe misunderstanding how this works, so forgive me if this question seems redundant. but I assumed when i installed this that it worked automatically in the background, basically recording closed tabs. Or, if you close a Chrome window with tabs open, it would "snapshot" that window and its associated tabs and record it as a session. However, all of the logged sessions seem random, and they are definitely not every window or tabs that i close.. Within the first week of installing it, i had a forced windows update reboot, and session buddy saved me since it actually grabbed the session and using chromes built in "open previously closed window" failed. But then another time i opened a tab for my boss to use real quick, but when he was done he closed the entire window instead of just his tab, causing me to lose all the other tabs i had open, and session buddy didn't have them when i tried to get them back, instead it had something from 8 days earlier.. 

Is there something i have to do or that im not doing? I see there is a "save current session" in the context menu, but i thought this was automatic. And if it is automatic, when and how is "automatic" triggered, or supposed to be triggered?

[Session Buddy Support]

Session Buddy currently only automatically saves a session when the browser is closed by the user or forcefully shut down due to an OS or browser crash.

The next major version of Session Buddy will introduce finer-grained tracking of sessions to allow recovery of closed windows and tabs.

In the meantime, you can use Chrome menu > History > Recently closed to restore an accidentally-closed window or tab.

Cheers,

Hans
