Forget Me Not - Safari session saving

Forget Me Not 3.0 is a good example of the 3rd party plug-in and add-on support for Safari that is slowly but surely growing. FMN is a basic a session saver plug-in for Safari that can reload any tabs that were open the last time you quit Safari. It isn't quite as powerful as, say, Tab Mix Plus for Firefox, but it does a good job of bringing this increasingly popular feature to Apple's darling browser.
Forget Me Not can be had from Jim Fowler's site.

i installed it but
1) the forgetmenot tab does not appear in my safari preferences
2) the unclose window appears in the file menu, but the undo close tab does not come out in the edit menu
what did i do wrong?
I've been kind of doing this with Safari already. I have an empty folder in the Bookmark Bar labeled "SnapBack". When I'm forced to end a session with multiple tabs that I want to return to, I quickly drag each tab into this folder and then quit. When I relaunch Safari, I simply click of the folder and select "Open All In Tabs" and all pages I were at previously relaunch back into their own tabbed windows.
Naturally, ForgetMeNot would be quicker, but that's what I've been doing up to now
Never mind! I get it now. Cool.

stand has had a 'restore last workspace' added in the last version or so, and can recover from crashes, other than the url that caused the crash in my experience. it also has manual session saving, but its not as refined interface wise (even though its been there a long time).

Thank you soooooooooo much ! I LOVE this ! I've been using Google's browser session plugin for Firefox and I really need this when I use Safari :)

Saft != free.
This plugin doesn't have nearly as many features, but some might only want this one.
I prefer Omniweb's snapshot/workspace feature. It restores when I want it to restore. Automatically having the browser restore every single time is annoying to me.
saft doesnt do this already??
