Hi,

I don't see anything in the settings for tuning how Falkon manages session
backups. I am using the default session, and it has been crashing a lot
recently, and when it does, usually this session and backup 1 are empty (if I
open them, I lose all my open windows and just get the default start page). The
displayed timestamp on them is the wall-clock time when I start up again, so I
assume they've either been overwritten on crash or on starting up again.

Most backup systems allow a relatively simple setting for how those are
rotated, such as taking a backup every M minutes and keeping the N most recent
backups. Would it be possible to add sometihng like this? As my open tabs are
very important to me, and now that the backup isn't serving its purpose, if I
could keep a series of them then I have fewer concerns about how frequetly it
crashes knowing I should be able to get back to close to where I was without
much difficulty.

Am I correct in thinking that periodically duplicating the .dat files I see
under ~/.config should be enough for me to take backups myself? And hoping for
the best that it has flushed to disc recently


EXPECTED RESULT

Either an entry in Session Manager window, or probably the Preferences =>
General tab (as this is where other mentions of session/profile are).
