<![CDATA[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.

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.

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.

So the answer is no.

Is it possible to retain the Tab Islands when the settings are set to "Open a Specific Set of Tabs"? Thanks

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.
