So I had my main opera window open with a smaller popout window (customer support chat from random webstore)
I closed my main opera window not realizing the other was still open behind it...
All of my tabs in all my workspaces are gone.
Is there a way to recover these? They are not listed in recently closed as they were not deliberately closed individual tabs.

@leocg said in Closed my main Opera window, forgot there was a smaller popup window still open. lost all tabs?:

@moods You can reopen closed windows in the tabs menu o from menu > History.

looks like that's the only way. my session file was already gone. So this will take hours and I'm sure i wont actually be able to recover everything after scouring through history.
saving sessions should be built in to the sync. Especially if the browser notices you are about to close and lose a large number of tabs and workspaces.

@leocg recently closed was not helpful in this case. I don't think opera counts tabs as recently closed if you lose an entire window with 100 tabs.
I scrolled through all 90 days worth of my history... I found probably most of them.
I've installed session buddy.

@leocg I see it now, you're right... It does say "window" on the right side where the URL normally would be. It's not immediately evident because the title is just the name of one tab from that window. Thanks though, that's good to know for next time although I also have session buddy as another backup now.
Here is a screenshot with a few random websites as an example for anyone else reading.

@leocg I looked, didn't see any of that.

@zauberfritz right, yes that's exactly what I was saying.
