Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10
-
Jump back to the same place on the last page
After using the back button, I am no longer in the same position on the page as before.
If, for example, I surf on ebay and then from the list a particular link clicks but then later back to the list back, the browser always starts at the beginning of the link list. But I would like him to jump back to the list where I was last.
"Restore Scroll Position"
I know my English is really bad I hope you understand it.

@kivagant I requested this on the Bugtracker. Obviously I believe it's a great idea. I hope More people think so too.
-
@yihoyifiv it's a one-time setting, copy/paste is enough for it. Or do you really plan to change it continuously?
-
I'm glad to read that. I've suggested in a past message to make this with mouse, quickly and easy, I've called them then space tab, please have a look : https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/14250/feature-requests-for-1-8-1-9/700

@dLeon said in Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10:
Basically, keep auto update on tab thumbnails will even give heavy burden to Vivaldi browser & your network. So, no go.
I really don't think that the page is (down)loaded twice (once for main webview, second time for tab preview).
Yes, it might be a little bit more heavy on computer but not the network. So only as an optional feature it's not so impossible. -
@dLeon Of course it would be some improvement.
But I think @Xorkachi68 wants it for navigating between many tabs. So a preview of current tab is useless for you in this case. -
Edit source code and apply changes. That's especially great with tiling!
Nothing against developer tools (I really love Dragonfly) and structured views are great, but for quick and dirty adaptions it is much more comfortable to just be able to edit the complete code and not just change single properties or always right click -> edit html -> write a line an then do this again.

I'm not sure I understand you.You have a Tab Panel which contains several Tabs you opened before (and it's not necessarily needed to have opened any "Top Site").
The Tab panel you can expand so you directly see all opened tab previews OR you can just hover the tabs to see the preview.The only little glitch on which @Xorkachi68 is pointing is the fact that the previews are always from the top (= up side) of the page and NOT in the state you leave it. So everything what's needed to improve it is to just recreate the preview when you leave the tab.
So then when you see all the tab previews in the Tab Panel, you'll see the tab previews in state you leave them with all changes you made there (e.g. scroll position, changes to some interactive page element, etc.).
It's nice improvement in cycling between tabs (doesn't matter if via Ctrl+Tab or via mouse in Tab Panel). You may have opened e.g. some gallery (but the same site). In one tab you'll have images of birds, in the second images of cars, etc. etc.
And if the site has too big header, you can't see (from the preview) the kind of images that are on the tab.
But if Vivaldi make new preview of the tab/page, you could then see preview of e.g. vertical center of the page which (finally) contains the images, so you can recognise the exact type of images directly from the preview. -
Option to reload all tabs (for shortcut / mouse gestures)
-
Disable automatic reload of a website if browser was not connected to the net when initially tried
-
@jumpsq For now, you can select all tabs with click + shift-click, then reload all of the selected tabs.
-
Well defined system to combine multiple actions (return values should be documented somewhere and people should also be able to check for them if they can have more than just two values. This could also be used for additional scripting (e.g. "only if proxy is set, do actions xyz")).
Example:
Close tab,1 | Switch to previous tab
If I wanted to close a pinned tab -> return value != 0 (false)
-> my second action gets executed (switch to previous tab)
If the tab I wanted to close was not pinned, it just gets closed and everything else is like it was.Focus panel | Close panel
If panel is focused, it gets closed. Only if it is not, it gets openedNew page, 1 && Go to homepage && Focus address field
All actions get exectued in the given order -
@jumpsq The feature is already implemented as an option in settings/addressbar/ under "Address Bar Options" simply uncheck "Select Address on Click."
-
Add really private window. Under 'Open private window' add menu position 'Open extra private window' (or different name you find suitable) - it will open completly clean private window - without history and search suggestions. So when somebody asks me to check something on the net I can open him this extra private window without all my data. Currently private window has access to all my history, passwords etc.
-
Please make password manager like in the old Opera. With separate button and shortcut for filling passwords. Managing multiple accounts was much easier. And login wasn't visible to everyone.
-
Add option to set a static grid on SpeedDial (n x m, ie. 5 x 9) and put thumbnails anywhere on this SpeedDial grid (with unused cells invisible). It will work very well with custom backgrounds (you could remove thumnails covering important parts of the picture). Currently you can only place thumbnails in linear fashion and they change their position when you change size of the window or open side panel (what’s the point of SpeedDial tiles when they change their position on the grid when you change window size and you have to search through them?).
-
Add option on SpeedDial to change URL of tile. Should be in right click menu.
-
Vivaldi should be first sugesting currently open tabs for SpeedDial when adding a new SpeedDial entry using the big plus button (currently it suggest miniatures of apparently some random pages from history). Or allow dragging tab from tab bar to add it as a new SpeedDial entry.
-
Add warning when closing Vivaldi when file is downloading.
-
Download folder should be chosen from list of folders on your PC - you should not expect people to type it down manually. Especially that it's not working. I wanted to save to desktop, I wrote path to desktop but files are not appearing on desktop. Instead a second desktop folder is created in my user profile and files are saved there.
