Hi,
It would be nice to have the ability to save a list of open tabs. Often I find myself shutting down my workstation and still have many tabs open in Dillo. Its a pain to go through them all at that moment to decide whats worth saving or bookmarking.
I use an extension (Tab Wrangler) in Firefox to close unused tabs after some time, so it forces me to bookmark earlier. It kills the tab hoarding problem and keeps the memory usage low, so maybe a similar approach could be used in Dillo.
An option to save all open tab urls to a file would be great. It would be even nicer if we could later open all those urls in new tabs when starting Dillo :)
Maybe it is a good idea to add a button in the quit dialog to allow the user to save the current "session" for later (and/or set in dillorc what to do by default). Keep in mind this will cause a spike of work loading hundreds of tabs, and it can potentially ban you if all those tabs point to the same server, as they will all load at the same time.
On first glance it doesn't seem very easy to implement, but also maybe not super complicated either. I don't have any patches yet, just wanted to put the idea out and see what you think about it.
Sounds good for me. I'm wondering how you use Dillo regularly and what sites you use that work good without JS. I'm thinking in writing a short introduction to directories and other pages to let newcomers have something to actually read, rather than opening youtube.com and seeing a blank page. Best, Rodrigo.
