Feature request - Add option to place the saved tabs into a nested folder

karatedog opened this issue · comments

Currently Save My Tabs drops all URLs into a bookmark folder and does not remember the last one used. Using the feature on multiple machines or with multiple Windows needs tweaking all the time I want to save the tabs. If I do a mistake once and set the same folder on two browsers it will mix the two URL lists.

As the extension saves automatically to the same folder on every computer - and users usually sync their bookmarks - the timed feature will mix the URL list for sure.

The feature needed here would be that the extension:

  1. saves to the last folder name the user has set or
  2. ask for user input for the folder name it should auto save to

This way users can customize the folder name to allow them to be unique across all computers and browsers,

The idea is that a user can have as many computers/browsers as he/she wants as long a unique folder name is set to the save folder.

Window Titler does prepend a user defined string to every browser window. I regularly use it to prepend a different profile name to browser windows for every browser instance I happen to use.
That would come in handy for save-my-tabs to programmatically save browser tabs to folders named after their window title, hence eliminating the risk for multiple browser profiles/instances to save tabs to the same bookmark folder.
