Window panel and file download improvements – Vivaldi Browser Snapshot 1.13.997.3
-
Addition to my previous post: When Ι installed the previous version and restored the 'default' folder, everything (extensions, passwords, thumbnails etc.) fell into place and everything worked as they should - in contrast with a one of my previous attempts a year ago when, after restoring, I had to re-install all the extensions from scratch!

@steffie To answer my own question... the solution was simple [but isn't everything, once you know?]. All i needed to do on each of the still-only-flashplayer sites i routinely use, was use the Address Bar Site Info drop-down menu & mark said sites as "Always allow on this site" for "Flash". These sites have never needed me to do that before, hence i did not immediately think of this today for the new V. However now that i have realised, & done it, V-SS is again going gangbusters for me.

Missing proper Pin-Stacked tabs support and not only in the windows panel. Had two stacks with some pinned tabs (5 in total) not appearing in the new panel. Disabling the Pinned Folder in settings showed the stacks albeit with a little ugliness in the title since the stack icon and pinned icon have plenty of space in between.
In the process I ungrouped a tab stack and can't now group them because of their pinned state and thus would like proper support.
Cycling in tab order gets messed up with stacks but that always happened, at least for me. Just now in a stack with 2 tabs it jumped to another stack tab and only then to the second tab in the stack. Both using the mouse wheel or the 1, 2 key shortcut. Stacks in general and tab order seem wonky for me with cycle in tab order. Cycling from this non stacked tab jumps to another stack with 2 full stacks of tabs in between...
Edit:
Activate with single click in the windows panel is not consistent in relation to Pinned Tabs and Tab Stacks. Clicking in the folder arrow jumps to the stack but not to the pinned tabs. Would suggest that single click would differentiate between clicking in one tab or in a group/folder and only jump for tabs and not folders. -
@ayespy: But expect a few more builds in the days to come.

Sheer genius -- thanks! It never crossed my mind to untick that option. When i did, voila, all my pinned-stacks appeared in the WP... yay. Yes, it's less optimum than still showing their parent folder in the tree, but i found a simple workaround for that... just rename each of the pinned-stacks, then in the WP the parent row displays the stack name instead of merely mimicking one of the child tabs. It's not perfect, but your tip gives me a huge leap fwd. WP is now fully functional for me; yay.

@steffie: Yeah, sorry, I wasn't clear. It's indeed just a an option switched to off by default now. The aim is to discourage webdev to use it, while still allow its use by the users.

@dleon: I never said it was Google
Indeed, Adobe stated that the end-of-life of Flash will be 2020. And to avoid that havoc you are describing, Google decided to push firmly the webdevs towards other technologies, by deactivating Flash by default.
So, now, you can still use Flash, but tons of websites will see what will happen without it, and that'll give them time to adapt. -
@dleon: And just a precision, MKV is built for streaming, more than MP4 anyway.

@rotfl: There is already a VB for it

How can I pin tabs in a stack or the complete stack?

@mikefield first you create the stack with unpinned tabs. then go through the tabs and pin them via keyboard shortcut or via quick command

@dleon MKV aka Matroska Video is a Container format that comes with different extensions like e.g. WEBM etc., which are all based on the same format. Some of the others only support subgroups of what is allowed inside but definitely everything video fits into it and is streamable if the codec used is fit for it, see among others VP8 or 9 which are used e.g. by Youtube and were especially developed with streaming in mind.
