Feature requests for 1.12
-
My personal wish is IRC client, like it had been in the old good Opera with the presto engine If possilbe, make it as soon as possible. Thank you.
Is somebody working on it? How for is it from a snapshot? -

Install updates without closing browser
I am not a develper, but I think this is simply impossible. What software is able to do this?
-
@burbuja Various browsers will install in the background, and then not complete the operation until the user restarts the browser. So technically, it's not installed without closing, but everything for the update is completed without interrupting user operations, and then the update is completed on browser restart.
-
@burbuja No one is working on IRC client at this time. It's a concept only.

-
@ayespy The solution is simple: The first thing everybody has to do is to update his favorite browser and resentely after the update to start to watch youtube.
-
@tuexss I guess this depends on the platform you're on.
If Vivaldi uses its own copy of Freetype it might investigate the Infinality Ultimate patches, esp. if it also uses its own fontconfig library. With Freetype+FontConfig modified that way they render fonts (much) better than Mac OS (X) does, and that should apply no matter what displaying backend is used (X11/xcb, Cocoa, Wayland, etc).

I'd like to see something I'd call adaptive zooming in order to be able to take back control over how webpages are rendered, possibly combined with the old feature to use only my own font selection.
More and more webpages ignore my current window size and instead impose a CSS min-width that is sometimes much larger than some of my computers' screens (e.g. http://www.ebay.fr/itm/282432645955). That's annoying and sometimes crippling if for some reason the page doesn't allow a horizontal scrollbar. Several possibilities that I can see (not necessarily mutually exclusive):
- an option to instruct the browser to ignore css min-width values or limit them to the current window width
- a fit-to-width option like Presto-based Opera had which adjusts layout flow so that everything fits (possibly the same thing as 1?)
- an auto-fit zooming function like the one the "Zoom Page WE" extension provides, but which can be set as the default zoom level. This option could have several levels like those found in Adobe Acrobat's print dialog: for instance scale down only vs. scale up or down.
Google Chrome doesn't want to implement this (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=762851), so here's a chance to be more (power)user friendly/centric.

Add Version Details to Settings Updates

1.12.955.14 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Add More Background Images
Currently, one can add one custom image and edit it. One should be able to add or delete background images with buttons like there are for adding, deleting, and editing themes.
-
@burbuja I'm proposing separate writing to screen module from browser process. It can be done with render process. This way you don't actually need to close browser to keep it up to date. There are some environments where you don't want to close the browser or you simply can't and need to stay with latest patch (specially critical ones) . Also, sometimes you need Youtube for something else than watching "despacito"

Add visual indicator for pinned tabs
There is no visual distinction between pinned and unpinned tab. Please add some kind of indicator to see pinned tabs more easily. Some ideas:
- pinned tabs are converted to squares showing only the icons and placed on the very top of the tab list (vertical tab list that is) ... (basically just like FF extension TreeStyleTab does it, see https://forum.vivaldi.net/uploads/files/1483692074793-treestyletab-pinned.png)
- colorized (users can pick colors for pinned tabs in themes)
- icon (small pictogramm on one side of a tab)
- font change (capitalized, bold, italic, something)
- tiny colorized bar on left or bottom side of a tab (just ~2px)
These could be combined and should be customizable of course.

@gaelle Auto search engine creation and tab completion . Same functionality as Chrome (once you search something within a site, browser creates a search engine and later allows you to type site address, pres TAB and type whatever you wanna search. it appends the search engine address by itself
-
@gaelle Chrome for Mac has moved away from using the Mac Keychain for storing credentials, using it only as a means to unlock its internal password store. There are 2 issues with that IMHO
- centralised credential storing means other applications can also be allowed access to them (and the user has a central place to refresh his/her memory)
- the internal password store remains unlocked regardless once unlocked. You do have to enter the keychain password to visualise the stored passwords, but there is no such protection for logging in to sites. Compare this to Chrome on Linux/KDE, where you do have to unlock the wallet.
So this feature request is double:
- Also store new credentials in the keychain
- unlock the keychain (if locked) before using a stored password
Point 2 would apply only for site credentials, not for the credentials used to access Vivaldi's future sync feature (which would of course allow NOT syncing passwords). The sync credentials should indeed be cached OR they should be stored as an easily identifiable entry in the keychain (so that the user can chose to move it to a keychain with dedicated security settings; I can elaborate on that if you want).
(I haven't yet been able to test Vivaldi on a Mac so apologies if the feature exists)

Remember zoom level (at a domain level)
If I visit a specific zite and enlarge the font by pressing Cmd + +, I would like the browser to remember the setting on that particular domain. It works this way on Chrome and I find it very practical. When I close a tab, it's going to remember the zoom value and any page reopened on the same domain is going to be zoomed accordingly, without me resetting it every single time, which is just annoying. -
@gaelle Printing to PDF: better support for "no margins" than Chrome currently has. When generating a PDF it's possible to do a full edge-to-edge print. That could include the headers and footers if the user wants them: they can be placed just on the edge. Chrome doesn't do this; headers and footers will disappear when decreasing the margins.

Option to give custom icons to both bookmark folders and bookmark icons. I typically like to remove the text from the bookmarks toolbar to save space, but this is a problem if the website doesn't have an icon, so the ability to add custom icons for bookmarks would be swell. Ditto for folders. So many browsers would benefit from this basic feature IMO and I've yet to find one with it built-in.
-
Ability to have text only for the folders but icon only for the bookmarks. Currently these options (https://i.gyazo.com/bdbc9dea8332f09ad9cf9c4a7d0c4be5.png) apply only to both at the same time. Basically I'd like "Bookmark Icon Only" without showing the folder icons, just the folder text to save space. I suppose if folder icons can be changed this won't matter much (to me) but it'd be a good feature to have.
-
Ability to move the Start Page folders to the bottom. Basically like how the Maxthon 4 browser has it. More of a preference since I'm used to it.
-
Ability to group Start Page favorites together. More broadly Maxthon 4 allows you to place favorites wherever. If you move another favorite everything else doesn't move. Furthermore you can make groups of them that aren't a separate folder. An analogy to the former point is basically to remove the built-in auto-arrange.
-
Ability to set a different background image for each Start Page folder.

@gravitorbox said in Feature requests for 1.12:
... save space ...
Saving space is always a good idea. In the case of bookmarks I'd argue that what's really missing is a bookmarks menu, like Google Chrome has. That menu has other features which would be nice to have, like the icons of the less used extensions (= the ones you interact less with, they could still be doing their job of course).

Tab scrolling via mouse need to be separate into 2 functions
When u enabled Switch tabs by scrolling, it will do 2 things:
- Holding RMB & scroll up/down anywhere will switch tab.
- Hover mouse pointer on tab & scroll up/down will also switch tab.
I need the first function but not the 2nd function, because i use tab on left position & usually have over 100 tabs. Thus, i scroll through tabs (without switching tab) with mouse wheel to search for tab.
My suggestion would be add more detail options:
Switch tabs by scrolling on tabbar
Switch tab by RMB + Mousewheel on anywhereThanks.

Option for force left-click on link/button always open on current tab
We can Shift + LC open in new tab; Ctrl + LC open in background tab; Shift+Ctrl + LC to open in new window. But what about open in current tab?
Some website like to spam new tab on every link, i think Vivaldi should give the control back to user by enforcing left-click = this tab ONLY behavior as an option.
