Bookmarking all tabs of front browser

Is there still no way to bookmark all the tabs of 
the front browser, collecting them into a folder? 
I do use workspaces a lot, but still end up 
wanting to save a bunch of bookmarks. For 
instance, I was working with sqlite3 the other 
day and had a dozen or so pages from the 
documentation open in one browser. When I was 
finished I wanted to save them in a folder. I 
don't necessarily want it in a workspace, because 
I was using them in other workspaces. And I'd 
rather have them saved explicitly so I could move 
them around, copy them to other browsers, etc. 
This has become a fairly standard feature of 
other browsers, and it really should be part of 
OmniWeb.

An AppleScript solution currently would not work 
because the only way I know to get the title of a 
tab is to make it active, so collecting names and 
bookmarks of the tabs involves doing
	-- fldr is a new or selected bookmark 
folder from elsewhere in the script
	repeat with tb in tabs of the front browser
		set the active tab of the front browser to tb
		make new bookmark at end of fldr ¬
			with properties ¬
			{address:(the address of theBrowser) as Unicode text, ¬
			name:(the name of theBrowser) as Unicode text}
	end repeat

Re: Bookmarking all tabs of front browser

Add my vote to this as a new feature for OmniWeb.

I have had several instances where I wanted to easily bookmark a bunch  
of open tabs, or even drag them into a folder in my Favorites bar.   
This would be useful when doing research on a particular topic (job  
search, programming topics, etc.).
