Open popup links in new window?
-
Olde Opera used to open popups in a new tab as well, but the tab looked and acted like a popup window, floating over the page content.

I second that this is an annoying bug that needs to be fixed. When I get a Hangouts message in Gmail there's a "popout" button that moves the conversation to a free-floating window, which I use extensively. Not having it work is a major drawback to Vivaldi. I set the page to allow pop-ups and it didn't help, still loads them in a new tab.
That said, the 30 minutes I've spent with this browser is far-and-away a better experience than Chrome or Firefox, so keep up the good work. But seriously, fix this please.

I concur with many of the comments, not having a popup open as window but a tab is a deal breaker for me. This is very sad since there are so many things I am falling in love with. Hoping this can be resolved.

A quirk: The OS X version of Opera (at least Opera versions 8-12, I'm not sure about earlier) lacked the MDI, so it coudn't do that like the Windows Version did. Testing now on Opera 12.16 for OS X, I find an actual window gets popped if a
window.open( [ url [, target [, features [, replace ] ] ] ] ) call has a non-zero-length features argument string, since that might set desired dimensions and/or position.(And, of course, under any OS you could also set Opera's Preferences>Tabs>Additional Tab Options…>Open Windows instead of tabs, if you didn't want them opening as tabs.)
Edit: Given that this is in the Vivaldi for Windows sub-forum, I realize you were likely implicitly referring to Opera for Windows, specifically.

@Gwen-Dragon Any news on when this will be "fixed" (i.e. added)?

In the last few snapshots, you may need to use vivaldi://chrome/settings/search#a because internal pages have been broken.
That's not recent to the last few snapshots. For quite a while now, it's been the case that for Chromium settings searches, you have to type one of
- chrome://settings/search#[text]
- chrome://chrome/settings/search#[text]
- vivaldi://chrome/settings/search#[text]
For any of those, the tab actually stays on the Chromium settings search, but the URL bar automatically changes the displayed address to the URL
vivaldi://settings/search#[text]Same for named Chromium settings sections:
- chrome://settings/content
- chrome://chrome/settings/content
- vivaldi://chrome/settings/content
work, but all get changed in the address bar to
vivaldi://settings/contentIf pasted into a new tab's address bar it will just take one to Vivaldi settings.

I posted that 2 years ago, when it was still accurate.
The two fastest ways to get the Chromium settings now is to open the site-specific settings drop down from the address bar and then to click on "Site settings" at the bottom of it. It opens right up to Chromium's content settings dialog, and the rest of the settings can be accessed by simply closing the dialog.
Or you can simply put the url chrome://settings in a web panel.
Both of these seem like things that the Vivaldi team will eventually fix, however.

Oof, I feel silly. Yup, on receiving a thread notification I (obviously) somehow was careless and got confused about which posts were the new ones to the thread. Even besides the dateline*, I should have noticed that your post was above the post I had made a year ago.
(*I have user CSS set to show a date, not "2 years ago". Perhaps I should reconsider that, or just be more careful to actually check the date before mouthing off. Again, my apologies.)
-
@Isildur No worries, at least you added information that will most likely be useful to the users who don't have a forum account, but do Google for solutions to issues they encounter.
Also, I had no idea there was a setting to show specific dates instead of fuzzy ones - where can I find it?
-
It's not a forum setting, I'm using user CSS.
Credit goes to Saskatchewan and pafflick for original idea -- see:

https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/75443
for their versions..topic .timeago{ font-size:0 !important; } .topic .timeago::after{ font-size: 1.2rem; content: attr(title); margin-left: 1em; }
Explanation: Font size of zero hides the span.timeago element's normal text, and then an ::after pseudo element is inserted with normal font size displaying the span.timeago element's title attribute (tooltip). You can leave out the font-size statements, if you want to see both the "X days ago" and the timestamp. I've applied the alteration to just the thread view, but it can be expanded to other instances (category listings pages etc.) by removing the ".topic" at the beginning of each line.

Try here or here. There are two slightly different solutions I believe.

Hah, we were replying at the same time.

@Isildur I see, it's funny because it's a post from two days ago and yet we replied at the same time, lol.

@eddydc
EDIT: As gwen mentioned below this post - the setting I show here is only available from 1.10 ongoing. @eddydc I am sorry but it seems like you need to wait a bit more until stable 1.10 is out or switch to the snapshot/beta stream. (or install them side by side as standalone)
My original comment:
I'll guess you want to change this setting (see below)?
Settings --> Appearance -->Open Popups in Tabs

@Gwen-Dragon oops sorry my bad
-
1.10 stable is out, but sadly this still doesn't work. windows opened with "window.open" opens in fullscreen new tab instead of new window of specified size. What is the plan for this problem?! This works normally in any other browser and it seems so basic..
-
Hi,
thank you for response. I have option "Open popups in Tabs" UNCHECKED. Anyway, window opened with "window.open" opens in full size new tab instead of custom size new window.

Hi,
just to add, on some pages it works. For example, Proxmox VE Web interface, now finally opens console in new window, like it should. But this other page, with window.open, still does not work. Here is the code sample:
window.open('test.html' + document.location.search + dt, winName, 'left=0, top=0, width=360, height=' + window.innerHeight);This opens in new tab full size instead of new window of specified size.

New version came and sadly, this still does not work (only in Vivaldi). Still I have to silently suffer while my Chrome/IE/FF coworkers laugh at me and my browser...ah...
