Restore last session

[Med1aN1ck]

Probably had two browser windows open and first closed the one with many tabs ... I have the following large files in the Default folder:

Last Session
Last Tabs
Session Storage/014330.ldb
Session Storage/MANIFEST-000001

Is it possible to restore from any of those the window session with many tabs?

[iAN CooG]

don't you see them in the trashcan (upper right)?

[Med1aN1ck]

I didn't look there at the time and there isn't anything now - can anything be restored from the files listed?

...or the folder 'Session Storage'?

[Med1aN1ck]

There's a large "Last session" and a large "Last tab" file that remained from before accident, as well as a few backup files in the "Session storage" directory - can one at least read their contents ?

HOW TO RESTORE URLS FROM 'Last Session/Tab' FILES:

1. Download the Chromagnon tool, unzip & put the Last session/tab files into it
2. Download & install Python 2 (the 2nd version)
3. Launch CMD, navigate to your unzipped Chromagnon tool & run:

python chromagnonSession.py "Current Session" > current_session.log
OR
python chromagnonTab.py "Current Tabs" > current_tabs.log

The tabs' urls are exported together with the history of each tab.

Hi. What do you mean by 1. "... put the Last session/tab files into it"? Put them where? In the Chromagon folder?

I also have Python 3.5 installed, is it necessary to run exactly version 2?

@Med1aN1ck Interesting...

...but

1. Copy the files ["Last Session","Last Tabs"] from "C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default" to the directory where you saved the Chromagnon tool.
2. Run this: "python chromagnonSession.py "Current Session" > current_session.log"
3. And or this: "python chromagnonTab.py "Current Tabs" > current_tabs.log"
4. I then you put the files in "C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Session Storage"
5. Profit

Python 2 (the 2nd version)

Hello. Sorry, if I have to post in the old thread. Have exactly the same problem.

Where do you get the Python 2 (the 2nd version) for download?

There are many versions here: https://www.python.org/downloads/

Could anyone help me, please.

[Gwen-Dragon]

@DEUnit I think the latest Python 3 should work.

[DEUnit]

@Gwen-Dragon

Have the version 2.7.15 installed.

How does that work with the commands exactly?

I think I'm doing something wrong.

@DEUnit
Your first command is missing the spaces that separate the parameters.
Your second command has a trailing " that shouldn't be there.

That said:

1. Did you navigate CMD to the folder containing the .py scripts (where you are in your second screenshot) before trying to run the command?
2. The Last Session and Last Tabs file should probably be in the same folder as chromagnonTab.py and chromagnonSession.py, not within the chromagnon folder you have highlighted in screenshot 2.

[Gwen-Dragon]

You should use complete path to python program, .py file and Vivaldi fiel to concert!
F.ex. this works for me after i started CMD.EXE
and entered:
C:\Python27\python.exe "T:\Chromagnon-SNSS\chromagnonTab.py" "C:\Users\TEST\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Last Tabs" > "T:\Chromagnon-SNSS\LASTTABS.log"

//EDIT: You should change the paths to the files as you need!
And do not forget to add the doublequotation marks (they are needed)!

[Gwen-Dragon]

@DEUnit The >>> shows me you used the Python inetrnal commandline.
That is wrong!

You did should run the commands run in OS command line (Shell, Cmd, Terminal).
in Windows start the CMD.exe or in Linux bash.

I can understand that these programs are not made for unexperienced users. The skill level is high.
