Open sessions, restore graphical tabs (gvim, windows)

Question

I use gvim and work in tabs. For example, I have 3 tabs open when I :mksession. When I later source it, the files will "open" in buffers, as they are visible in the buffers menu, but it doesn't recreate the tabs.

Looking at the example session.vim, it runs badd for every file, but I can't see anything that creates new tabs. I tried putting au BufAdd * tabnew in my vimrc, but it didn't work as expected.

My .vimrc
Example session.vim

sessionoptions="blank,buffers,curdir,folds,help,resize,tabpages,winsize"

Sometimes the exact right combination of Google search terms will get it for you...

:au BufAdd,BufNewFile * nested tab sball

edit: This au command causes Netrw to open a new tab for each directory you browse. A workaround is to run :tab sball after opening a session.
