Thegreatsuspender: Location where Saved Sessions are stored

Created on 14 Jul 2017  路  4Comments  路  Source: greatsuspender/thegreatsuspender

I'm trying to move everything over from my old computer to a new one - I don't seem to see any functionality to export or import the Saved Sessions. I'd even be happy to manually copy over the data, but looking in the Chrome Extensions folder (in AppData on Windows) and going to the folder for Great Suspender seems to only have the source code - can anyone point me to where the Saved Sessions are actually saved?

OK, to answer my own earlier question: the indexedDb database is stored here:
Chrome/Default/IndexedDB/chrome-extension_klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg_0.indexeddb.blob
and
Chrome/Default/IndexedDB/chrome-extension_klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg_0.indexeddb.leveldb

I restored both folders from a backup and all of my recent and saved sessions are available again :-)

The sessions are stored in an indexedDb database. The only way to view it really is inside the chrome dev console.
But what version of the extension are you using? v6.30 (the current webstore version) has the option to export each session? I have attached a picture of this.
This will actually just export a text file with each url on a newline. You can use another extension such as session buddy to import and then reload the session.

Can the indexedDb database be restored from a backup?
This morning, Chrome crashed and afterwards Great Suspender was gone.
I reinstalled Great Suspender but the session management no longer showed my recent or saved sessions.
I have restored the folder Chrome/Default/Extensions/klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg/6.30_0 but I guess that that only contains the extension and not the saved data.
So I'm hoping to be able to restore the old sessions from a backup if I know the location where Saved Sessions are stored.

experiencing the same problem atm on chrome mac,
looking for a solution to restore my lost sessions,
I am not sure I have a backup of the indexedDb unless there is an automatic backup/ saved versions etc. bt TGS
