Sorting of Downloads – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.10.834.9
-
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.
-
@ayespy: As I said, it was potentially dangerous in this matter but I was always very careful when configuring it and it wasn't different this time... However, something went really wrong and I had to consider the circumstances... I was really suspecting of the antivirus in the beginning since it was having a strange behavior, but turned out to be CC Cleaner.
Now I have to find out some decent replacement for it.
-
@CptGuapo OK. But I would not have an app like CCLleaner on my my machine if you paid me.
-
@Ayespy LOL. I understand that perfectly. But this is unfair with it since it served me so well for several years... I'm missing it...
But I was reading a few moments ago about the issues related to that Creators Update for Windows and I think it has something to do with all this... Sooner or later the truth will come up.

@mtaki14: . What exactly is the problem there I don't know, a dev would have to answer that, but I would say there are huge amounts of calculations and codes being run to recalculate the layout, draw and animate everything, and that takes time, depending on the machine, the results may change. Vivaldi wants to be able to handle as many tabs as possible, and we keep testing this, and looking for ways to optimize, but its a long process, hope that was a satisfactory answer And PS: Bookmarks / Grouping tabs are great features to get used to for anyone who like having many tabs easily accessible, you can even name the tab group to categorize it even more, that last one is my favorite.
-
@cptguapo: You seem to randomly tick the checkbox and click "yes" on CCeaner without understanding the implication... if you manually tick the "Chrome" cleaning up, the default behavior is to remove all Chrome-based browser history and cache sans password, and recently they have added this "Active monitoring" that does it periodically. It's behavior by design. CCleaner is fine if you at least read the UI. I turned of all background process and invoke it manually every time, since well.. it saves time and disk space.

For some reason, this version won't import Firefox passwords.
