CaminoSession - Session Saving for Camino

We just let you know about a session saver for Safari called Forget Me Not, and now I'm happy to find a similar utility for Camino. At this point in my internet life session saving is an absolute must for me, and the lack of it was a huge strike against Camino in my book (despite its being favored by our fearless leader here at TUAW). It's incredibly annoying to open a bunch of tabs for later perusal only to lose them all when your browser crashes. CaminoSession will automatically save and then restore your tabs when you restart and is a most welcome addition to the more Mac-like Firefox alternative.

Why does it seem that development of Camino add-ons has slowed to a near-stop? There's so much excellence there in CamiTools et. al.; Camino seems to have gained mindshare lately. Why no new add-ons - any theories?
BTW - I'm using 1.2 alpha right now and I see the spellcheck working. There's definitely some other bugs still, though.
Huh? When all the prefs in the CaminoSession prefpane are checked, and then quit and reopen Camino, I get my session restored. When I don't have the prefs checked in the prefpane, this doesn't happen. Seems like it's working fine for me, not sure why you take that as something being disabled...

Actually, the Camino nightlies will offer suggestions, but at this point in time your cursor (the blinking vertical bar, not the arrow) must be in the underlined word. And yes, Camino's spellchecker uses the systemwide spelling dictionary.

It won't offer corrections, but it will red underline misspelled words. If interested, you can find the latest nightly build here: http://www.caminobrowser.org/development/

No, I'm not affiliated with him. His site is http://www.willmore.eu and you can find other Camino add-ons on http://www.pimpmycamino.com (run by Jon Hicks, creator of the Firefox and Thunderbird icons as well as PimpMySafari).

Safari, Opera and now even Firefox has it built in. This is the main reason I keep trying Camino, am pleased with it's relatively small foot print, but wind up going back to Safari.
It took me a second to figure out what was wrong with that screenshot. But then I realized there was no shadow on the menu. Odd.
