Configurable address toolbar and finer grained control on muting – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1369.6

Also if you check my sig I also use it as "portable" or "standalone" as you and Vivaldi call it.
We only call it standalone because it is NOT portable and we want to avoid confusing newcomers.
-
@tbgbe As you can see calling it "standalone" is already confusing users, because it implies portability That's the problem, not the solution.
-
@luetage @TbGbe @npro I sense an impending cluttering of the comments for this snapshot. That seems to be what happens every time someone mentions the "Standalone/portable" issue.
Here is a link to a number of threads already created on the issue if anyone wants to learn or discuss further
-
Can't go to Bookmarks from a different Speed Dial other than the default one (by clicking "Bookmarks" on the non-default Speed Dial, left to History), anyone having the same problem?
-
@luetage Exactly, it's also what wikipedia says: "A portable application (portable app), sometimes also called standalone, is a program designed to read and write its configuration settings into an accessible folder in the computer, usually the folder where the portable application can be found.", so the problem is on the implementation and not on the word.
-
@npro I just tested by right-clicking on another bookmark folder in the Bookmarks Panel, and setting it as a speed dial folder. I had no problem opening the Bookmarks Tab from that Speed Dial's navigation bar.
-
@pesala I have just downloaded the snapshot again and "installed" it as a standalone on a different path. Here is a video of it:
-
@npro I confirm your bug, there's not even need to set another bookmark folder as speed dial, the bookmark tab on speed dial doesn't activate anymore if you select bookmark, speed dial and then bookmark tab again, while if you select history then bookmarks, it activates. Same goes if i do History, Speed Dial, History: The History tab doesn't activate, unless I select Bookmarks.
It's a regression in this snapshot. -
@npro I've noticed a number of issues where the UI stops responding to clicks in
1369.6
, not being able to switch start page sections is just one case where it happens. -

and thus one can make it his default browser easily
Vivaldi-Snapshot is so good that even we hers can make it our default browser too. Who'd have thought?

not the solution
An actual honest-to-dog solution would be to drop the weird windoze way & do it the Linux way, whereby Stable & Snapshot have utterly independent discrete paths & profiles. The windoze way always seems daft to me.
-
@steffie I beg to differ, I prefer stable overwriting snapshot and viceversa when I'm updating, I don't care having 2 different Vivaldi on my PCs. To each his own. Or hers.There you go, specified it before you start this his/her thing also with me.
-
@ian-coog OMZ.
-
@ian-coog Ah, but the joy of having differing application naming (
vivaldi
andvivaldi-snapshot
) is that it does still allow you to upgrade profiles if you cross the stream. The difference is that by default, things are separate.However, the reverse is much more difficult (you have to anticipate the fact that things are not separate before you begin).
In either case you can finagle your way around it, but to me having separate naming for separate streams seems the "fail-safe" option.
-
Just install Snapshots as Standalone to keep profiles separate from the Stable version.
-
@fangsta Can confirm having the same issue, on Win 10 64-bit. Happens when trying to open link in new tab in a windows with lots of them.

Hi.
So, is the sticky scrollbar fixed yet? Both the sliding when left-click is not pressed and the continuous scrolling when clicking on the scrollbar itself?
Also, where can I find official changelogs? Thanks.
-
@vividal The scrollbar issue was fixed long ago. Every release is accompanied by a changelog on the blog. The more detailed changelogs are seen with the snapshot releases.
-
I've managed to find a kind of reproducible way of breaking gestures. Start doing a Gesture Left, then roll the scroll wheel as if to cycle tabs. Result: the cycler appears, but does not disappear when you release the RMB; gestures are broken for the current window (but work again if you open a new one).
