GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 425661
Not easy to load tabs when starting without a network

A "Reload all Tabs" option in "Tabs" menu can be very useful and will be loved!!!
Created attachment 86540 [details] epiphany extension to reload all tabs Hi, I wrote this when I was on dial-up and needed to reload saved tabs after opening ephy without an Internet connect. Currently, it provides a menu that reloads all the tabs in the current window, but should be easy to modify to reload all tabs in all windows at once if that is what you want. Just extract to ~/.gnome2/epiphany/extensions:
Very good, Jason! Dear maintainers: Can we have this extension in subversion?
Is this feature big enough to warrant an official extension? Better announce it on the "3rd party extensions" page first (http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/ThirdPartyExtensions). Wouldn't it be possible to merge it with the "Auto reload tab" extension somehow? Maybe the extension could be reworked into a patch for epiphany core so that middle- or Ctrl-clicking the reload button reloads all tabs? (Then again, we might need to add a menu option then as well...)
Might be better to put the option together with “Reload” in the “View” menu. So, would a patch against Epiphany core be accepted?
I don't really see the use case for "Reload All Tabs" ?
My case: 1. Open many tabs on Bugzilla to triage; 2. My connection is down (in Brazil, it happen many times); 3. Connection is up again; 4. Login Bugzilla again; 5. Reload all tabs one by one (???). A "Reload all Tabs" would be great!
Perhaps it's possible to improve upon the already existing Auto Reload extension? It's hard coded to 3 minutes interval currently but I could imagine it reacting upon a NetworkManager "network up" D-BUS signal, for example.
What if the Auto reload extension adds a menu item to the bottom of Tabs? It would be out-of-the-way for normal usage. At least in my case I hardly click the Tabs menu.
What would the menu item say? It already adds a menu item to the View menu.
The situation in comment 6 is a pretty regular occurrence for me with other browsers. But maybe we can do better than just having to manually reload all tabs. If the app starts with no network we could display a nice "You have no network" screen and then detect when the network is actually started. When switching tabs and the page isn't loaded yet we can try to load it at that time.
