Tab Islands are restored after a crash?

If I close Opera (or it crashes), will my previously created tab islands be restored when I reopen it?

I am creating tab islands to group related websites that I use often, for example, those related to my various banking and investment activities. However, I would not want to go to all that trouble if I stand to lose them when Opera is closed.

@stephensmith999 If you close Opera, yes, your tab islands will be remembered.

@leocg Great! Island tabs might be the one feature that makes me switch to Opera from Chrome as my regular browser. I will have to use it awhile (and explore what else Opera has to offer) before deciding for sure, but this is a welcome idea.

@leocg HI - I have the same question - except when I quit and reopen Opera, my Tab Islands are not being retained when I have my Settings set to "Open a Specific set of Tabs" - It only seems to work when I set it to "Continue where you left off". Is it possible to retain the Tab Islands when the settings are set to "Open a Specific Set of Tabs"? Thanks

@redmagnm That's the expected behavior, that tabs from previous session only be kept if you have the option to remember them enabled.

So the answer is no.

@leocg Ok thanks for confirming my experience. If there are any plans to make the Island Tabs stay on the "Open Specific Tabs" option, please let me know. That would be handy for multi-taskers who need to check on multiple Tab Island sets on a daily basis. Thank you.

@redmagnm It doesn't make sense to keep a tab island if the user don't want to keep tabs from previous session.

@leocg Really? I tend to have multiple windows with upwards of 10-20 tabs open in each while working on multiple projects, including research or cross-checking tabs. When I close out, I don't want to be deleting every single extra tab, in order to retain the Island Tab groupings of my original session. Limiting it to this 'Where you Left Off", rather than (also) for "Open a Specific Set of Tabs" setting makes this actually quite tedious.
