FOR THE NEWCOMERS: How to import TGS tabs

[wchristian]

You'll need to have notepad++ or a similar text editor with regex search and replace.

• install the marvellous suspender, open its options
• export the session into a text file
• open the text file with notepad++
• open search and replace and set "search mode" to "regular expression", then replace chrome-extension.*uri= with an empty string
• save the text file
• close all your tabs
• import the session from the saved file with "open and suspend"

Marvellous installed, but I did not have an export option.

• open settings
• mouse over current session

Thanks for posting this! So I'm a little confused about the steps—how do I get to the old, saved session of tabs from TGS? Is that the one I am supposed to edit and load? The way that it's written, it seems like I should just export the session I have open, but when TGS was pulled, it just removed all of those tabs, so I'm not sure how to get them open.

[wchristian]

@emmett13 you don't need the old session, just follow the steps, also see shots above

Yes but I have no current session. I did not close my chrome since TGS shutdown.
I had a significant number of openned tabs (maybe more than 200)

I have tested with 2 others computer. Ok I have current session, export, but no 'chrome-extension.*uri=' in the txt file. No traces of previous tab suspended by TGS

[wchristian]

if you closed your tabs you'll want to reopen them via the history menu, and if you can't via that, then you'll need to find another solution involving TGS' sqlite file and a tool like sqliteman

For anyone else who like me, didn't have any saved sessions or similar in TGS, Session Buddy etc., and don't feel inclined to go digging through your history, this should help:

Basically, quit and open chrome, quickly open TGS options page before it gets disabled, and export your last recorded session, then you can do whatever you want (I imported it here and reopened everything, and will try and reduce my tabs before I uninstall here, but at least I can be confident I've saved my tabs consistently, if not the history associated with them).

Ok thanks, I will take a look for another solution

How do I find the sqlite file?

sorry, not my field of expertise, you'll need to browse around the other issue threads

This works, thanks

Also good to note, it is important you start with an export of the current Marvelous Suspender session and don't just open a new text file in notepad. I tried with a new text file and it combined all my old tabs into a single window when importing. I assume it has to do with file encoding, the export just uses LF instead of CRLF at line endings.

[danielsharvey]

I use Session Buddy, so being able to clean individual URLs is helpful i.e. It has saved the suspended tabs thrown away when the extension was removed from the store.

On Mac I've used Automator to set up a "Services" menu script "Clean Great Suspender URL" which you run by selecting and processing the URL through a sed script with the regular expression noted in this issue:

sed -e 's/chrome-extension.*uri=//'

See Clean Great Suspender URL.zip

Btw, it would be nice to have a possiblity to somehow import saved sessions from (force-disabled) TGS :-/

^^^This was super helpful--I had some important tabs and it was going to be a drag to try to recover them. @ultragreg

Is it possible to export current sessions to bookmarks to use bookmark sync for other PCs?
