I think this is a great idea. I created a KDE Brainstorm for it here: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=120181 See this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306257 You just referenced the same bug Jay. I'm still hoping to see some activities around this feature request :) By the way to complete the request, it should also be great to be able to access the saved sessions directly on the 'Places' panel in a 'Session' category (one click access). @Alexandre: Sorry, I meant to reference this one (which has more votes, but is generally about the same feature enhancement): https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246028 I use KDE on Linux as my primary desktop, but after having gotten used to using the QTTabBar plugin for Windows File Explorer, which allows creating and saving groups of tabs, I am really missing something like this for Dolphin. Most browser's "save tabs as folder" would be fine for me, but it would be nice to save split views, etc. I would think this would be fairly easy to implement (like Konqueror and Konsole do), as it should be pretty much the same code as they use (file URLs...). *** Bug 361209 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The prior comment from Jay sums up my feelings as well. I remain very interested in this feature.

So, this bug is almost 4 years old, has 60 votes, 8 comments, a brainstorm topic, one other bug marked as duplicated of it, and still has a status of unconfirmed. Why is that? :) Is there any technical reasons why this seemingly basic feature could be hard to implement? *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** *** Bug 383330 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I remain very interested in this feature. I support this feature. I'm back to Plasma from ElementaryOS which has this feature in a very simple way: when you re-open your "files" browser, it opens same tabs and paths you had previously. No need of saving sessions manually. Dolphin already works like that, saving sessions automatically. This feature is for saving and restoring manually, specifically. Note that there is the recently added "Bookmark Tabs as Folder…" feature, which does the most important thing: Saving all tabs. The "session" can then be restored with "Open Folder in Tabs". @Jens Lallensack RE: "Bookmark Tabs as Folder…" That's interesting, but not intuitive. Where can we learn more about using this new feature? So far I don't get it. @MountainX
I only learned about it by trying things out. Try this:
1) open some tabs you want to save
2) show menu bar (Ctrl + m)
3) navigate to "Go" -> "Bookmarks" -> "Bookmark tabs as folder". You can enter a folder name, or just keep it blank and hit enter (it will be named "New Folder" then). Now, the new folder will appear in the bookmark list, which you find in "Go" -> "Bookmarks".
4) close Dolphin and re-open, and again "Go" -> "Bookmarks" -> "New Folder" -> "Open Folder in Tabs" to restore the session.
Note that this will restore the tabs only, but additional things like scroll bar positions won't be saved. But for me personally the ability to just to save the tabs is all I need.
Note that you can add an entry "Bookmark tabs as folders" to the tool bar for quick access ("Settings" -> "Configure Toolbars…"). Likewise, the "Bookmarks" toolbar entry will grant you quick access to all saved bookmarks and folders.
