How to save a session in Yakuake

Question

I use the Yakuake drop-down terminal and would love if it could save my session of tabs somehow. When I have 6-7 tabs open, all named and everything, it is a giant pita having to re-create that on every reboot.

Any ideas?

Seems like you're in luck, there's a project, yakuake-sessions, meant to provide just this:

ysess is a script that gathers as much info as possible from a running yakuake instance and saves it out in INI format. It can then take this same INI file as input and (destructively! *) reconstruct the yakuake session.

Currently, ysess will save the following information:

• tab order
• tab title
• active tab
• per-tab working directory
• per-tab active command

It's a Python script relying on Yakuake's D-Bus interface.
