Autosaved Sessions | Error
-
Autosaved Sessions sometimes gives error "No tabs were opened. You may have excluded all tabs in the session."
This only seems to occur when an autosaved session has saved a private window together with regular windows, and even then, not always.
I usually have one regular window and one private window open. Sometimes Autosaved Sessions will save the session as "X tabs in 1 window" (meaning only the regular window was saved) and sometimes as "X tabs in 2 windows" (meaning both regular and private windows were saved). I've never figured out for sure what causes the difference, although my guess is that it depends on whether the regular or private window is the latest active window when the session is autosaved.
Sometimes when "X tabs in 2 windows" is autosaved and I try to open it, I receive the error message "No tabs were opened. You may have excluded all tabs in the session." When this occurs, if I click "Edit/View Contents" in the context menu, I am not brought to the Edit view (and vice versa, i.e. the two errors always occur together).
This doesn't always occur, though; sometimes autosaved "X tabs in 2 windows" works fine.
Anyone else encountering this problem so that I can file a bug report and say that I'm not the only person encountering it?

Also suffering from this. Had a Windows update go bad, causing total loss of tabs (although not workspace names). Attempting to restore autosave results in this error.
I don't believe they would have had a private session captured. -
This also happens to me, does seem to be because of the private window alongside. Really sucks cause it makes the autosave feature basically useless

Hi, I guess this is by design, private windows should not save anything.
I ask in the developer chat to clear that up.Cheers, mib

A developer told be it should work, doesn't matter if regular and/or private windows are involved. -
It does indeed work if I open the sessions tab, find the session file and rename it to that of another session file, but if I try opening the autosave directly I get the same error as OP

I post a link here in the chat but I have no idea if the developer steps by.Cheers, mib

By the way, recently the same "No tabs were opened. You may have excluded all tabs in the session." error occurs for me even if the Autosave only saved "X tabs in 1 window".
