History Panel enabling 1.7
-
Myeah, will be impossible to fix, if it is a bug, without knowing what causes it, atm almost anything could, but I suspect either settings/checkboxes or extensions atm, I'll do some testing and see if I can find the cause.
-
EDIT: after correctly typing the address for the experiments page i get it shown now. ^^ listed there are two things, the hue thing and the new history page. is the history panel a subfeature of the new history page? cause the new history page was in there long times, right?
ORIGINAL: for me it's not even possible to open the vivaldi://experiments page. what am i doing wrong? or did i miss to change some additional setting before? i am on the latest snapshot. greets and thx, sUsH667

What are you doing
As @Aronand stated:
Use Snapshot 1.7.735.39
Enter vivaldi://experiments in the Address/Url bar and then press enter.
(note: it does NOT work using select/go to link)If this doesn't work, try with a clean profile (just rename Default folder to check it).

Thank you Vivaldi Team for History Panel. I like it.
After updating my Vivaldi v1.6 stable browsers to v1.7 stable on w10_x64 (vivaldi win32bit), LM-18.1_x64 (vivaldi _amd64.deb) and LM-18.1_i686 (_i386.deb) this panel worked on LM-18.1_i686 only. On all three systems I'm using same extensions.For w10_x64, and LM-18.1_x64 it worked after setting up new user profiles.
Unfortunately this was kind of hassle, copy over search engines from old User profiles resulted each without History Panel button, but right-click on sidepanel showed an entry "history panel".
So, set up new profiles for those (with all the hassle of reinstalling extensions and refining preferences) and setting up all search engines a new did the trick eventually. Obviously there's a problem migrating search engines Vivaldi v1.6 to v1.7.

@sUsH667 The history panel and History in the making is currently under the same feature in experiments yes This is done because 1 does not work without the other, most likely
-
@Aronand ok, got the history in the making history page now showing up, but i have the same problem someone else wrote already, i can't activate history in panel. it is l isted there, but when i try to activate it, nothing happens. is deleting my complete user profile the only way to get it working? greetz n thx for your help, sUsH667
-
I enabled History in Making and restarted Vivaldi. The panel will not display despite try to tick it. In does show up in the content pane. New profile.
-
Mine is still going strong here, teehee. Advice only - not gloating*
*A shocking lie by me; i am gloating bigtime, but quietly, keeping it just to myself... oh, whoops.

@sUsH667 Are you on the latest snapshot, or final? Did you by any chance update from snapshot to final? Currently I don't have the exact file that causes the issue, so if you want an instant fix refreshing the profile is one way(always back up the profile folder incase a fresh profile does not work). Remember that you don't have to fully clean it tho! https://help.vivaldi.com/article/full-reset-of-vivaldi/ shows what each file contains, so in case you do want to fresh out the profile, you can grab the essentials with it. When doing this, its best to do it 1 file at a time, restart Vivaldi and check that the history panel still works. If you copy over the file that does hinder it from working, but copied over a bulk of files, you won't know what caused it, and what to remove! If you do find the file that causes it, feel free to pm me what you found, or just add it to the thread here.

@Aronand
I tested it out. The problem occurs when you copy over "Local App Settings". Deleting this folder did the trick for me in the end. -
@luetage Thank you!
Now i only have to find out what causes Flash do get reenabled after every vivaldi restart
-
@sophos02 I've blocked the Flash content internally (on chrome://settings/content) and added only a few exceptions to the white-list so that disabling the plugin doesn't really bother me...

So I'm reading through trying to figure out what the trick is to getting the History Panel to show. I updated Vivaldi using the check for updates version, I'm running only official stable releases. I heard about this History Panel and thought that would be extremely useful as I keep my Bookmarks Panel open pretty much always. I went to the experiments page, checked the box, closed Vivaldi, and launched it again. I can see both the History and History in the Making Pages when I create a new tab. If I right click the Panel I can see History in the list, but clicking it does nothing. I have spent a lot of time tweaking my settings, so this whole, refresh your profile thing isn't exactly appealing to me, I'm not sure precisely what happens or how to do it, but if I lose a lot of my custom settings I'm probably going to have to wait it out. History in the Making looks sweet though.
But is there anything else I should look into in order to get the History Panel working? What all is involved in refreshing my profile?

@craftbrewmaster: To enable it, you have to use the Snapshots channel for now, available at the Blog. The Stable version won't do it. It will enable History in the Making, but not the Panel. In the latest snapshot, if you enable History in the Making and then restart the browser, you will have the panel.

Are you sure about this? Since the two features are enabled by the same checkbox in experiments, this would be indicative of the history panel being available in stable.

@luetage - Or not.

Ok, thank you for clearing up my misunderstanding. I look forward to when it hits the stable branch. I'd rather just keep using the stable branch all the time for right now. Vivaldi has very quickly become my default browser used for almost all my daily work. Y'all are doing great stuff and I have no doubt that it will very useful when it gets merged into the stable branch. I appreciate the clarification.

Well, wait, dang! I wish I knew why the panel isn't working on my system then. I should have read all the replies before posting. But yeah, it shows in the context menu when I right click the panel, but clicking it does nothing. It doesn't put a checkmark next to History, nor enable it. Hmmm.
-
@craftbrewmaster: for most cases, @luetage is mistaken. To enable "History in the Making" you have to go to vivaldi://experiments , check it, and then re-start the browser. In the Stable, this will NOT enable the history panel (unless you clean your profile first) - it will just give you History in the Making on your Speed Dial page. In the Snapshot stream, that procedure WILL enable the history panel whether using a clean profile or not. Hope that's clear.
-
I made a standalone installation of Vivaldi 1.7 stable to test this out. First I enabled "new history page" in experiments, then restarted, and I got a working history panel. This means with a clean profile the history panel works on Vivaldi stable, just as in the latest snapshot.
@craftbrewmaster If it doesn't work for you (because you don't have a clean profile), you can try and delete the "Local App Settings" folder in vivaldi/default. This did the trick for me in the snapshot.
