Where's the Delete Session button?

[paul1149]

I'm on Snapshot 5.8.2955.3 on Linux, and I can't find where to delete saved sessions. It used to be on the Open Session dialog.

[Ayespy]

@paul1149 In Windows, at least, it's still there.

[paul1149]

Thanks, @Ayespy. Just to prove I'm not going crazy (or at least, not worse than I usually am):

[Ayespy]

@paul1149 That's really weird. I'm trying to fire up my Linux box to see if I can reproduce that, but it will take me a while. It's not cooperating.

[Ayespy]

@paul1149 So it's not doing that on ArchLinux for me, either. Do you use any extensions or customizations?

[paul1149]

@Ayespy I just disabled all extensions, no difference. I have no customizations. I recently forced a new Preferences file, to solve a strange inability to log in to facebook or twitter. Then I resynced everything back up. At first I could log on to facebook, but today I can't again. Twitter does work though. I'm thinking of starting the whole profile from scratch.

I just got a pertinent idea. Just before I enabled the Workspaces experiment. That could have a bearing on Sessions, perhaps.

[paul1149]

@Ayespy Yes, I disabled the Workspaces experiment (found it too confusing anyway), and the Delete button is back.

Hi, nice find, please report this to the bug tracker.
It would be really bad if this lands in the next stable.
I can confirm the report internally.

@paul1149 I reported some weeks ago
VB-95054 "Missing Delete button in Open Session window" - Confirmed.

I set your report as related.

[edwardp]

On the same Linux Snapshot version (.deb) and I have the Delete button. File/Open Saved Session...

[paul1149]

Another issue is that deleting sessions does not actually delete their .bin files. I still have a folder full of them, whereas half of them should be gone.

[mib2berlin]

@paul1149
Hi, I can confirm this on Linux, one session created/deleted today but .bin is still there.
Please report.

Cheers, mib

Any progress on this? Have the same error.

[DoctorG]

I think there is no need to re-add a Delete button, you can use Sessions Panel.

[rzydenbos]

Even if it is possible to delete a session via the sessions panel (just now I tried, and it works! hurrah! I had the same problem – which is why I looked for this discussion) – I think it would be good to have a delete button.

My own practice is to store a set of opened tabs in a session 'for later' (not 'forever') and after one or two weeksat the most I delete the stored session. So a delete button would be convenient.

[DoctorG]

@rzydenbos Upvote existing feature request "Bring back the delete button for "Open saved Sessions" window"

[pczukor]

Yes please! I mistakenly forgot to click 'this window only' and ended up with a session of 209 tabs, instead of just six! I used to be able to delete a bad session, but I don't see how to do that now.

[SerebraSana]

@DoctorG Why? What is the problem with having Open, Delete and Cancel buttons which are the 3 basic operations users need?
