Snapshot 1.0.403.15 - Session management and other important updates
-
Thanks for the new snapshot. Startup time is great and things are feeling snappier overall. I'm still getting crashes with embedded flash videos though, which is the main issue that keeps me from using the browser as my default. Hoping that's sorted in time for beta 3.
-
I can definitely tell that the startup speed has been improved! The snapshot was worth the wait, because now we have to wait less
A few requests/issues I have:
-
Right click on a link->"open link in background tab" has no underlined letter, so there isn't any way to activate that menu item quickly with the keyboard, like "t" would do for "open link in new tab".
-
It'd also be nice if it was possible to use a simple keyboard shortcut for the save/save as/open/cancel buttons in the "download" dialog. Maybe alt+s, alt+a, alt+o, and alt+c?
Thanks for the great snapshot and keep being awesome Vivaldi team!

The main issue right now is the load, parse and compile time of the js we use, then rhe layout of the UI. We're working on reducing this.
-
Changelog is wrong, look at the option in the tab settings. There are 3 for new tab.
-
Are you using the PPAPI flash or the old NPAPI flash? Check vivaldi://plugins.
-
In this snapshot some keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+t, alt+p, probably also others) cause the crash of the browser. I have Windows 10.
-
Have you been hibernating tabs?
-
I tried to open the settings from the tools menu and crashed again. However, the problem is disappeared after I reload the browser. Now i can open the settings both from the tools menu and from the shortcut. Ctrl+t still cause the browser crash.
-
No. I haven't
-
I'm really hoping we can specify which motion is linked to which action. My disability means certain mouse actions are much easier to make than others.
-
Now I can't open the setting again. I can do it only if I repeat the previous process (open the settings from the tools menu and reload the browser after the crash), but after a bit the browser begin to crash again if I try to open settings.
-
The problem is the "Use tab zoom" check. I had checked the box. Now that I unflagged it it's okay.
-
I'm using the PPAPI and it's up-to-date.
-
Well, if you select a piece of text, and then right click > "Add Selection as New Note", it adds the selected text as a new note. Is that what you mean?
-
That's one of the biggest reasons why I think Vivaldi will become huge, even to the point of easily becoming in the top 5, maybe even beating out Opera. When you only care about the user/customer, you get an amazing product that people love passionately, and that does get known really fast and is part of what sells.

Wow! That's a great idea! A session management panel. Makes it so easy to see your tabs on the side, and it'd be great if you could individually select certain tabs to bring out into a new window, and have full control over it. Good thinking! In case you haven't filed a bug report for it, I'll do it for you.
It almost sounds like this plugin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqjcrfKjobY

Damnit, the URL won't display!

The features are great and very useful. I never used the session management extensions in other browsers before, but its not a coincide that 2 weeks ago I started to research extensions for session management saving. The reason is that I noticed that on my work I need to constantly open the same tabs again and again, but they are different depending on which task I need to accomplish.
In the past and I still do, I just created a bookmark folder but I noticed that this is not the right approach for several reasons. First, bookmarks are organized in context, and the tabs/sites can be different things, example, some tabs are actually local files in my system which I open in the browser. And some need to remember its state, so sessions are clearly the better option here. I'm so happy that Vivaldi added this. Thank you!
I'm also very excited to see that you are not forgetting developers (which probably are a big base of Vivaldi and ex-Opera users). Let me suggest one, very simple thing which I find very useful. In Firefox Developer there is the Eyedropper tool. This simple feature is so helpful that I can't believe I lived without it before. In the past I constantly took screenshots and then opened them in my software to compare if the hex colors where correct on a page. Yes, there are extensions for this, but none work as fine as the native one in the Firefox Developer tools. And something this simple, should not be an extension. It should be build into the developer tools.
This simple tiny thing is so helpful, you could consider that for a feature. That and the responsive tool are probably the ones most used in terms of simple but helpful tools.

I think sync will have to precede profiles so you can log into each profile whenever you want and have your data still there. I guess it could work without sync, but it'd be limited to one computer. And if you try to copy and paste everything all the time to another computer, it's just a hassle until sync comes along.
