Work begins on 1.16 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.16.1170.3

@pesala i don't even see WHERE to set a title in notes, I just see a space to write the notes, an address field (rarely used if it's not for a specific site) and nothing more.
Edit: it shows how much I used the notes so far, I always just entered the text and seen the first part added in the list of notes descriptions automatically; I didn't even realize so far you can edit the description or even entering it when clicking the "+" icon with different content than the note text itself. -
Hi, i finally joined after looking at the news for months just to ask this:
I noticed there are no new features in the browser since weeks ago, i am curious about when we gonna see the other lost features of Opera 12 implemented in the browser, i'm eager to see IRC chat (EXACTLY like it was on opera 12, hopefully with support for new networks like whatsapp, telegram, facebook messenger, skype, discord, etc) and the support to add/remove toolbar buttons from address bar, toolbar, status bar, sidbar and MAINLY tab bar, below there is a link to show why i'm interested on tab bar

Notice the bookmarks star on left side of Opera button plus the load/reload button at the left side of the minimize button, i love this and i'd like to have that on vivaldi.
Kongrats for the work of all of yous with the browser, but please dont forget that cool new old features are more exciting the bug fixes for some.

@ian-coog Until it came up in this thread I didn't realise it was a possibility.
The default title is the entire note. Click the title to rename it or use the F2 shortcut on the selected note title.

So every time I start syncing, Vivaldi crashes. Is there a workaround?
-
@lonm At least I wasn't the only one not knowing it, but there are many features of Vivaldi I never explored throughly, mainly because I don't need them.
-
@gwen-dragon you're surely correct, but in years of usage of both Opera and Vivaldi I never really felt the need to leave some notes inside the browser data. I just started to test them to see how they work, and that's all, still haven't found a reason for them to exist.

@lonm Indeed - discoverability of this feature was poor.
It's like a hidden side drawers in badly designed Android apps - you find it randomly by mistake... -
Menu highlighting is not consistent (and it has been like this as long as I can remember):
Sometimes like this:

@helsten2 I am not seeing this issue, and never have. Try a different theme.

May I suggest a missing translation ?
On the notes panel, when there is no notes, not all text is fully translated. My scenario: I have language set as pt-pt and it still says "Add a new note to begin ... from contextual menu".
To translate to pt-pt, i suggest "Crie uma nova nota para começar, ou selecione texto em qualquer página web e crie uma nota pelo menu contextual" (again, just a sugestion).
Also, i think the "Window background image" is not fully translated either. If you have the time please check it too -
@pesala: Actually, it works on Vivaldi 1.15 as well. (perfectly, i must add)

@ian-coog In Opera 12.x i did not use Notes. In V i use Notes extensively. I admit it came as something of a surprise to me [ie, my philosophical turnaround], but since i began using V daily from Feb 2015 a slow evolutionary change arose in my workflow. Given i pretty much "live" in the browser anyway, over time i began questioning why i was bothering to persist in maintaining my prior external Notes repository in CherryTree [won't mean much to non-Nixers, but it's a wonderful Linux Notes program ... ooh, i just discovered it's also available for Windoze]. Since changing my workflow to actively use V Notes, i've experienced V as an even more productive tool [/asset] for me everyday.

@lonm said in Work begins on 1.16 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.16.1170.3:
you have to right click a note and choose "rename"
Yes you can do that, true, but i rarely do. instead i merely slow double-click my target note [ie, its entry in the Notes tree], which puts the name-field into edit mode, then type or paste in the new name i want, then Enter, or just click away elsewhere to save it. Easy. I discovered / deduced this years ago because i realised that given we can rename bookmarks [in the BM Panel] that way, it might also work for Notes... & it does, so that's what i've done ever since.

Or, by intuitive deduction.
Either way, buried treasure / hidden easter eggs surely make V even more fun for us...?

@pesala Same issue with the default theme.

[Sync] Notes with empty title are duplicated (VB-35453)
so this is the reason...
how about duplicates? will this version try to remove duplicates?I expect not. Before submitting a bug report I had to spend a whole afternoon manually deleting the tens of thousands of copies from two systems (with sync disabled), and kept one copy of that note but added a title to it. Then I think I cleared the sync data (there's an option when you sign in to sync) before making sync active on both machines again.
There is a note file in your profile which I made a backup of just in case anything went wrong.
-
@jacekn IIRC titles are created by default when you start a new note aren't they?
In my case this was a note originally created in Opera several years ago, and I think it was not only missing a title but there was a blank line at the start of the note - in my bug report I thought that blank line was part of the problem
-
@mossman By default, the title is the entire note.
