@all
The new v4 final is coming soon, with a nice bonus: you’ll be able to add icons to sessions! Plus the session list is now more readable…

@SkyFrontier and…
whoever feels twisted enough
Here’s a working proof of concept of "
Snap Sessions", to see how it could be integrated (and whether it should be). I know it’s not exactly what you asked, but it’s a first step…
• Snap Sessions only contain the paths of all tabs on both panes, and are stored as single entries in an INI file.
• They’re very light on resources but lack the extra info of regular sessions/tabsets (folder view settings,…)
•
What it does:
— via UDC, automatically saves auto-named sessions (under a Date+ActivePath name)
Note: the UDC auto-saving of auto-named “real” sessions could very easily be integrated in SM
— lists all available Snap Sessions: list can easily be integrated in SM / replace regular sessions list if needed
— load Snap Session: very fast (by creating "real-fake" tabsets – faster than loading each tab)
•
What it doesn’t/won’t do:
— time-based autosaving: not possible internally from XY (but UDC could be activated via AHK)
— guessing the user’s need: hmmm still trying to figure this one out…
• In the end, since I don’t have this kind of needs right now, I’ve a hard time figuring out whether it can already be useful or interesting, and/or how it could or should evolve…
So you tell me!…
Have a nice day,

• Right now, with the script saved as "SessionManager-Snaps.xys", it can be run via:
::load "SessionManager-Snaps.xys", "_SnapSave"
No confirmation. Adds a Snap Session entry in a "SessionManager-Snaps.ini".
::load "SessionManager-Snaps.xys", "_SnapLoad"
Opens the Snap Session list. Loading a session will use dummy tabsets so no risk to lose your real tabsets or sessions.

maybe you could use a lighter outline for the briefcase on the star.
I might make the briefcase a bit bigger so that it doesn't get distorted at 24x24pix. Also, the star looks a pixel lower than the Bookmarks toolbar icon in my screenshot...
