adidas: That isn't true -- CaminoSession gave you a list of windows and allowed you to choose which to restore. However, Camino now has its own built-in session saving, and so CaminoSession is no longer available. The built-in session saving does have the bug you describe.
Firefox put a session restore feature because it crashes so often it's needed. The irony is that it usually restarts just to reopen the same page that crashed it in the first place. This does the same thing for Camino :D
melorama: Your last session isn't erased, it just isn't automatically loaded. You can load it manually using the menu item (Go->Restore Session).
Maybe this isn't ideal, but the alternative (always restoring your session, even when you click an external link) is messy too. I guess there should be a preference to govern this behaviour.
The lack of session saving is one of the only reasons why I keep Firefox in my dock. I set my default browser to be Camino, however, so it's a true godsend to have CaminoSession.
The biggest problem I have with CaminoSession, however, is that if you set Camino to be your default browser, and some external application wants to load up a link in the system default browser, Camino will ignore the last tab/window session saved by CaminoSession, and basically erase your last session....VERY VERY annoying!
If this could be fixed, CaminoSession will be damned near perfect.
Version 0.7 should fix the failure to restore after crash highlighted by kamikazow. If not, please contact me. My email is on the CaminoSession web page.
Kamikazow, do you have it set to auto-save sessions when Camino quits? It can't restore a session if it has nothing saved to restore in the first place. You need both that and auto-restore sessions on crash enabled. If the auto-restore on crash didn't work, then perhaps the manual restore would.
Useless. I installed this thing, because I like to try out Camino trunk nightlies. CaminoSession wasn't able to restore a single session after a crash. Maybe it works with official Camino releases, but those are very stable anyway.

beniamino is right - I stand corrected.

A definite must for the Camino power user!
Actually, it can be automatic. Just look at the included preference pane.
