An improved 'Combine Windows' AppleScript for Safari
Authored by: rb3 on Apr 06, '04 06:20:26PM

Is there some one way to modify this hint to make a script that will save a collection of tabs in a way that would let you reopen that same set later? I don't mean a static set that would then be a link-folder in the toolbar, but rather 3-7 tabs in one window that are all not previously bookmarked. I'd love to be able to save a session of multi-threaded browsing, and rejoin it later...

I've never seen a good solution to this, and I feel like this script is sort of a cousin to what I am after. All suggestions welcomed.

This is something I have wanted as well.
But I want more. I want the tabs to be independent objects. Like the tabs in Adobe tool palettes. What I want is to be able to have 2,3 or more windows open with multiple tabs in each. Now I want one window with one or more tabs from some of the other windows.
I want to click and drag a tab to a different window to reorganize my browsing.

Not quite what you want, as you have to activate the tabs you want in turn, but you can drag the icon at the left of the address bar to an empty area (or the extreme right) of the tab bar of another window to open the page in a new tab in that window. Dropping it on an existing tab opens it in that tab.

try firebird with a different theme than the default theme and the tab extensions. they provide everything you need, from saving of tab-sets to drag and drop from one window to another, rearranging the order, "close left tabs" and much more. very nice tool. i'm using it in mozilla at work.

I would have sworn that I had scoured everything around here that was related to this search, but clearly I'd missed this great hint - so many, many thanks for pointing it out to me. I've been swearing to learn AppleScript since 1995, so maybe this will be the trigger I've been looking for for nine years.

No sooner did I find this hint than the plug-in Saft upgraded itself to embody this funtionality.
