Sorting of Downloads – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.10.834.9
-
Strange, I'm not able to post a reply to @mtaki14 who answered to my request for tab sorting. So I try to answer in a new comment:
"@mtaki14 said:
@zonebattler: I'm not sure how having tabs in a specific order can be useful. Could you elaborate?
Of course: I have a tab group containing tabs with the ten WordPress installations that I'm running, and I'd like to sort them in my own private stuff, blogs that I care for for free and commercial projects.
Another example is a group of tabs with the forums I'm visiting and actively using, ant I'd like to sort them thematically (technical, software, social, hobbies).
Last but not least, I have tab groups that I'd like to sort chronologically (oldest projects first, newest projects last). All of these reasons sound very reasonable and legitimate (at least to me) and by no means far fetched...
Thanks,

@danielson I'm not on the Vivaldi team so I have no idea when this will be for other systems (presumably it's just a matter of building an index to point to the background file for each OS).
-
@aronand: That seems like it is the case. But I don't see why that should be a problem in the first place. Is Vivaldi expected to not be able to handle a lot of tabs?
-
@ayespy: sorry for the delay.
It's been a little while since i've seen stats on OS usage but, from those you have posted, Windows 7 is pretty well on par with Windows 8 and 10 combined.FYI, as a result of recent shareware glitch caused by the irreversible Win 10 update (that i always feared would happen one day), i have reverted back to Windows 7. I'm not going to pay again for another software upgrade on account of a Microsoft blunder. If more blunders were to happen with Windows 7 (security etc.), then, Linux here we come! Will Vivaldi have new features compatible there?
-
-
@mtaki14 -not that it was intentional to ignore XP or Vista.
Just to point out how Windows 10 isn't the OS we promised, thought or hoped it to be and how Windows 7 users aren't going away anytime soon. -

Huh? Are you basically asking if V SS runs in Linux? I've probably misunderstood you, but if that is what you meant, then the answer is of course a big resounding Yes. C'mon over into the light, you won't regret it. There's unicorns, & rainbows, & incense, & Vivaldi.

Your original post read: "Tab sorting would be the best feature of all!" which in the context of the newly implemented downloads sorting I assume means a similar automated sorting for tabs. But a completely automated way to sort tabs the way you describe would be really difficult.
Of course: I have a tab group containing tabs with the ten WordPress installations that I'm running, and I'd like to sort them in my own private stuff, blogs that I care for for free and commercial projects.
Another example is a group of tabs with the forums I'm visiting and actively using, ant I'd like to sort them thematically >(technical, software, social, hobbies).
Last but not least, I have tab groups that I'd like to sort chronologically (oldest projects first, newest projects last). All of these reasons sound very reasonable and legitimate (at least to me) and by no means far fetched..."
How does the browser know concepts such as "technical forum", "social" "hobbies", "oldest project", "newest project". The first thing I can think of to solve this, is linking bookmarked items with opened tabs and reading the description field which you would first have to populate yourself. For chronological order we'd need a way to edit the bookmark's creation date since you'd need flexibility in defining, from your example, your projects from oldest to newest.
But all this grouping sounds awfully close to what is already possible with bookmarks. Wouldn't it be far simpler to create folders to categorize your bookmarks as you describe in your examples? And also sort them in the exact order as you wish? Then just open each folder/ or save as session and you have the tabs grouped exactly as you describe. Does the sorting order in each of the use cases you present change while browsing? e.g. Sites categorized as "social", "hobbies" etc suddenly need to appear in chronological order for some reason? I can't see how that would be useful.
Maybe I got it all wrong and I'm totally missing the core concept of your request so please correct me if I'm wrong.

@danielson: I can't really distinguish between Vivaldi in Windows and Vivaldi in Linux. (I run Mint 18.1 as a test bed.) That has always been the case and AFAIK will always be the case. They look, act, and run the same.
-
@Ayespy -i haven't run Linux in a while, but, are you saying that the new background feature works in LinuxMint?
-
@danielson: I would think so, but I will have to check. I'm not at one of my Linux machines right now.

Desktop wallpaper as the Start Page background is NOT available on Linux (yet ??).
-
@danielson: OK - so I checked it on Linux Mint 18.1. Nope. Vivaldi does not offer desktop backround for the browser in Linux yet. Vivaldi always seeks to keep parity between versions, so I expect it will be along.

win 10 user..
i thinks the developers tool should be disable when browser in the startpage mode... and you may ask why, because it is useless ok.
and because you dev teams in develop in progress Downloads section, why not make the downloads support multi-threads. support downloads by the schedule, and make the options run or open it when finish instead of show it in file explorer.

@an_dz: No, I was asking if it was known. I'll report it then.

Hi folks, this last snapshot has several issues for me:
- When I restart Vivaldi all my tabs that where open the last time are gone although I have the "restart with last session" option enabled...
- It starts with one speed dial page which shows a Google-favicon. Not cool.
- Reappearance of an old bug where sometimes the page zooms in when scrolling up and zooms out when scrolling down again. (My standard zoom is 180%. It zooms in to 185% when scrolling up and to 175% when scrolling down.) Doesn't happen all the time but enough to be a real pain for me.
Otherwise Vivaldi is a really fine browser and I use it since the very first snapshot but I cant't wait for completely fresh new features. The last ones where very small changes and often Regressions and Regression Fixes. Anyway, thanks for your hard work!

Everytime i play a game it doesnt load but other then that this browser is awesome
It's not very clear what you mean, which game?
-
tab management on panel side will be next i thinks. you can make it also sort of this downloads lookalike.
it will be the best addition! -
@fendar: A couple of days ago I was having that same issue about not starting the browser with none of the last tabs, but only when restarting the machine. I noted that downloads and history data were erased too. I thought it was related to Win10, because Chrome and Firefox were also suffering with the same issue: Although I have the option to keep the last session enabled in all of them, when rebooting the PC they were gone. Very odd...
Since I was re-installing some programs (a little overhaul due to an unexpected event I had) I have to restart Windows recurrently and, in the case of Viv with that "tabs reset" issue, I was saving all the essential files and folders to overwriting them after the reboot, just as a clean installation.
Before try to reinstall Windows as an ultimate solution, I analyzed a bit and decided to uninstall some recent installed software which could be potentially involved. Got rid of antivirus. nothing; got rid of some drivers, nothing; got rid of CC Cleaner: bingo!
I wasn't expecting that, because I had used CC Cleaner for ages without any downside and now this... OK, it could be some weird coincidence but as long as it fixed the problem... Anyway, a testimonial that may be helpful to someone.
Win10 x64 Creators Update, Viv x64.

@CptGuapo: The fact of CCleaner screwing up your saved files is no coincidence.
