Friday, August 12, 2011


  • Fixed issue where Session Manager submenu was missing on Firefox for Mac

Version: 0.7.6 - (July 27, 2011)
  • Additions:
    • Added the do_not_color_toolbar_button hidden, logging_to_console, update_message and allowNamedReplace hidden preferences to options window.
    • Added option to not overwrite app tabs when loading sessions. This does not apply when loading the previous browsing or crashed session at startup since the app tabs are already in those sessions. Be careful using this as it could result in the app tab duplicating if loaded session contains the same app tab.
    • Added option to hide icon from menu item in tools and app menu.
    • Added name and url of last closed tab to undo toolbar button.
    • Added Greek and Slovenian locales
  • Fixes:
    • Fixed issue that could prevent the "Save and restore at startup" button from appearing at shutdown.
    • Fixed issue where open window sessions at the time of a crash would not be saved if user chose to not restore the crashed session.
    • Update options window if preferences are changed while window is open.
    • Changed the tools and app menu icon so it should display correctly in OS X.
    • Fixed potential issue that could occur when importing settings saved under an older version of Session Manager.
    • When appending tabs to a window, attempt to keep tab grouping. Might not always work since Firefox's grouping functionality doesn't use session data.
    • Fix for potential compatibility issue with Firefox 7. The change to Firefox 7 might be reverted before it is released, but I fixed my code anyway.
    • Update toolbar button tooltips when leaving tab groups UI.
    • When opening multiple windows at startup (for example clicking a link in another program), don't overwrite the additional windows when loading a session at startup.
    • Restore autosave and window sessions loaded from previous browsing session at startup.
    • Prevent multiple session prompts from displaying at startup.
    • Fixed issue where session backup files may not be removed if user chooses to not save any backup files.
  • Changes:
    • Updated text in save window to indicate that right clicking on an existing session will display that session's contents.
    • When deleting part of a session show different confirmation prompt then when deleting entire session.
    • Updated text in delete window to indicate that individual tabs can be deleted from sessions.
    • Moved all menu items that open the Session Manager session window to a sub-group. In Firefox 4 and up, clicking the group name itself opens the load window.
    • Attempt to use safe file writing at all times, if possible. This should prevent any possibility of corrupting existing sessions when overwriting them.
  • Removed:
    • Removed support for Firefox 3.5 and SeaMonkey 2.0. APIs that are required by Session Manager are not in these versions and they aren't supported by Mozilla any way.
    • Removed Cache Fixer since it tends to corrupt the cache file data which can cause Firefox to crash. See Firefox bug 529733, specifically comment 37.

Version: 0.7.5 - (March 18, 2011)
  • Fixed issued where backup sessions might not be created successfully on shutdown.
  • Fixed issued in SeaMonkey where user could not restore closed tabs/windows if Session Manager toolbar was not visible.
  • Fixed issue where user could not exit browser after changing encryption setting when there were no saved sessions.
  • Added tooltip and URL in status bar (or Firefox 4 status popup) when hovering over closed tab toolbar button and closed tab menu items.

Version: 0.7.4 - (February 9, 2011)
  • Fixed issue where Clear Private Data check box list would not expand properly if it was collapsed when the window was first opened.
  • Minor tweaks to SeaMonkey toolbar icon sizes.
  • Updated de and sk locales.

Version: 0.7.3 - (February 9, 2011)
  • Fixed issue with toolbar icon being wrong size for some people.
  • Save privacy preference if user sets it to clear sessions on shutdown in Firefox.

Version: 0.7.2 - (February 6, 2011)
  • Fixed issue with browser window moving to first monitor in a multi-monitor setup.
  • Fixed conflicts with other add-ons overlaying the clear private data window.
  • Fixed issue with titlebar getting resized in Firefox 4 under Windows Vista and 7 when tabs were displayed in the titlbar.
  • Fixed regression bug where when using the "Clear Private Data" functionality to remove Session Manager sessions, would delete all sessions regardless of the "Age" setting selected.
  • When using the "Clear Private Data" functionality to clear Session Manager sessions and selecting an "Age", also remove deleted sessions.
  • If there is an I/O error, put name of file or path in the alert box.
  • Fixed some scaling issues with the toolbar icons in Firefox 4. They aren't perfect, but they're better than what was previously displayed.

Version: 0.7.1 - (January 29, 2011)
  • Fixed bug when checking to see if user specified session folder is a directory. Would only cause a problem if user specified a file as the user specified session folder.
  • Fixed issue where continuous errors would popup if user specified a session folder path that did not exist and could not be created. Session Manager will put up a one time error in this case and then use the default session folder.
  • Fixed exception that could occur when closing last browser window under OS X.

Version: 0.7 - (January 26, 2011)
  • Additions:
    • Compatible with Firefox 4.0
    • Added Session Manager menu to Firefox 4.0 application menu. Currently hidden if user sets to hide toolbar menu.
    • Added Deleted sessions sub-menu and settings. Clicking a session in the deleted group will restore the session. The session can be permanently deleted by right clicking on it and selecting delete. The length of time that deleted sessions are kept is controllable by an option in the "General -> Saving & Restoring" options.
    • Added ability to change "browser.sessionstore.max_concurrent_tabs" setting in Firefox 4. This setting controls how many tabs to load simultaneously in Firefox 4.
    • Added URL to tooltip for closed tabs.
    • Added color coding of the Session Manager toolbar button to tell if there is a window session and/or auto-session loaded: yellow for window sessions, aqua for window sessions and lawngreen for both. This can be disabled by setting the extensions.{1280606b-2510-4fe0-97ef-9b5a22eafe30}.do_not_color_toolbar_button hidden preference to true.
    • Added tooltip to Session Manager toolbar button that lists the current active window and autosave sesisons.
    • If the preference is set, active session names are now listed in the titlebar in Firefox 4 when menu toolbar is hidden, unless the window is maximized such that tabs are displayed in the titlebar.
    • Added new larger icons for Firefox 4 add-ons menu.
    • Added icon to Session Manager menu in tools and application menu.
    • Added option to not log to console when logging is enabled - extensions.{1280606b-2510-4fe0-97ef-9b5a22eafe30}.logging_to_console
  • Changes:
    • If the users selects to use their own session folder, use that folder to store the session files instead of creating a "sessions" folder in that folder.
    • Don't backup sessions with no windows in them. This prevents creating corrupted session files, but doesn't fix underlying issue with Firefox returning empty sessions.
    • If a session has no session windows or tabs in it but does have closed window data, restore the closed window. This works around an issue that sometimes occurs at shutdown, where the active window in a backup session is changed into a closed window.
    • Changes to show URL of closed tabs in Awesome bar in Firefox 4. Also now works with Status-4 Evar add-on.
    • Show the "All Files" filter when loading settings file.
    • Move Clear Windows menu item before Clear Tabs menu item to match order of closed windows and tabs.
    • Sessions with nothing but closed windows are no longer considered empty. They will be backed up.
  • Fixes:
    • Fixed major problem when asynchronously reading session files containing Unicode, which would cause Unicode characters to be replaced with garbage characters. Asynchronously reading was introduce in 0.6.9 for enabling/disabling encryption, saving crashed window sessions and doing the one time conversion of Firefox 3 formatted sessions to the new format. Unfortunately there is no way to fix sessions that ended up with garbage characters in them.
    • Prevent creating a backup session if the browser window is never displayed (i.e. no session is created).
    • Fixed error that caused the clear undo tabs, windows, all prompt from displaying even if user chose not to display them again.
    • Prevent browser windows in sessions from loading off screen.
    • Fix possible cause of exception when trying to move corrupted session to corrupted folder.
    • When appending to an auto-save session, don't make the auto-save session active as doing so can result it the session being overwritten instead of appended to.
    • When permanently enabling Private Browsing mode, backup the current session regardless if the setting to saved replaced sessions is set or not.
    • Fixed issue where Session Manager would fail to move corrupt sessions to the corrupt sessions folder and continue to put up errors instead.
    • Switching a loaded auto or window session's group will now preserve the group when the session is auto-saved.
    • Fixed issue with auto and window sessions losing group and stored resolution if no value is entered for time when saved.
    • Fixed issue with name "Session Manager" showing as default name when right clicking and changing group of sessions in tools menu.
    • Work around bug 629291 - Issue with trying to overwrite files with unicode characters creating a new file with unicode characters being replaced by underscores.
  • Removals:
    • Removed compatibility with Firefox 3.0.x. It's old, time to upgrade.
