Get a list of open Tabs

pretty easy: I want to export my open tabs as a list of URLs. Plaintext, XML, HTML, CSV - I dont care.
I tried to use an opera account, but it seems like I can only transfer tab by tab, not all at once.
Then I copied my \data\data\com.opera..... folder and browsed the content. appstate.bin does contain the open tabs, but it also contains other URLs, most likely previous URLs fro the same tab.

So how can I extract the list of URLs of currently open tabs?

As far as I know, you can't.

@leocg You see there are two people requesting the same function. It would be really simple to to add it in the next version.

@leocg I really hope so it's extremely convenient and I'm not the only person that think so!

Creating Speed Dial Folders
Open all the tabs you want to save, right-click one of the tabs and choose "Save tabs as Speed Dial folder" to save the entire session. Opera doesn't assign a name to the new folder automatically, so you need to do it manually. Click "Opera," click "Speed Dial" to open the Speed Dial page, right-click the folder and click "Edit title." Type a name and click "OK." To open all the Web pages in the folder at once, right-click the folder and choose "Open all" from the context menu. To add new pages to the folder, click the folder, then the "+" button, type each address and click "Add it." To display the Speed Dial page when you launch the Web browser, click "Opera," "Settings" and then the "Open the start page" radio button in the On Startup section.

I know @lkjkfjlifjsdf already knows how to do that, but for future visitors stumbling upon this problem: I have posted a short bash command that extracts the URLs from appstate.bin

https://android.stackexchange.com/a/225700/96334

It still contains more urls than it should, I think, but I can live with 40 additional urls in a set of 240 actual urls.

strings appstate.bin | \
grep -v -e 'operaui://startpage' -e 'Speed Dial' | \
grep -A2 reader_mode_state | \
sort -u | grep -v 'reader_mode_state' | grep -oh "http.*$"
