Caching tabs separately would make no sense at all.
Go to:
edmullen.net
edmullen.biz
Do about:cache?device=disk
The images are identical on those two pages but are refereed to in the
cache list by the domain names. I can't see how it could be any
different. SM has no way of knowing if two files of the same name are
the same content.
OK, suppose you go to two different pages at the same site in two
different tabs. For example, my local property records office has a
parcel search and an address search and an owner name search. Suppose I
open three tabs with a different search option in each one. Much of the
content will be the same -- the county logo, the background image, the
css, etc. So if I load the first search, this shared content should be
available from cache when I load the next search, even though it's a
different tab. The shared content has the same URL no matter where or
when I load it. As A Williams says, it makes no sense to keep separate
caches.
It seems that SM tracks by absolute paths and does not cache exact
duplicates.
In the case of my site where the logo/menu graphics in the header are
all defined in the css style sheet, and each page calls the same header
and style sheet, that appears to be what's happening.
As long as we're talking about the same site/domain that makes sense.
