Discussion on experimental history feature
-
History in the making is an experimental feature and subject to significant changes. It is not in a state were we need or are requesting feedback. That said as few of you have started to do so on the 1.7 RC1 blog post.
This subject is considered off-topic for 1.7 release candidates because this is not a feature that will be moved from experimental testing before 1.7 stable releases. Furthermore the amount of discussion is making it harder to notice useful comments relevant to the stabilisation. Thus all such comments will be moved here.

@ian-coog: I just noticed that if I use the new "History in the Making" page to delete the history, the panel is updated immediately.
So I guess the Devs have everything under control -
@helsten2 what's this "history in the making" you're talking about?
-
@ian-coog: You have to enable it here: vivaldi://experiments/
The it should show up as a menu item (top) in Speeddial -

i've tried it and nothing appears to me by clicking the new history in the making, seems not ready for public
-
@helsten2 Holy Macaroni that looks awesome! Thanks for the heads up
-
@ian-coog: Strange. I am just a normal user. I was not aware of this page, but suddenly it appeared in autocomplete.
There are two check boxes: "Phillips Hue Integration" and "New History Page". -
@helsten2 yes, I have both options too, and after enabling the new history tab, it appears a new tab, but nothing appears by clicking it or even bookmarks and the old history tab. I had to click the options twice (every time i open vivaldi://experiments/ it appears unchecked even if i actually checked it) to make the new tab disappear, as it's useless for me as it is
-
@dleon: On you Speedial you should now have two history choices: "History" (as before) and the new "History in the Making".

@ian-coog: Did you restart Vivaldi?

Ah now I have, thanks. I see the new history with all the stats, bells and whistles. Fancy. I'm not sure I really ever need it, I never even clear my history.
-
@helsten2: History in the making ftw!
-
@helsten2 yes, I have this with https://mobile.twitter.com/vivaldibrowser
in the panel. Icon only shows when I open the panel; gone every time I restart Vivaldi.Edit: After activating "history in the making" ( vivaldi://experiments ) the icon is now reloading

This page is not available if I select it and use Go To vivaldi://experiments. However, if I copy "vivaldi://experiments" and use Paste and Go it works.

@pesala: Did you restart Vivaldi?

@helsten2: That History in the Making is WOW!
-
@dLeon World of Wizardry perhaps?
-
@Pesala That's an issue for all internal pages. They need to be typed in or copied & pasted into the address bar.
-
@dLeon WOW! As in 'amazing'. But there looks to be some wizardry involved.
-
A lot of detail and info in the new history.
At the moment I have to click the calendar at the left on the 4th Feb to show today's history(5th Feb) but the heading is telling me it's the 3rd of Feb.
I routinely delete history and cookies so the stats are of no use to me.
Nice work by vivaldi team though for developing this unique history.
