[Windows] Vivaldi Mod Manager

NeoCortex

Also, guys, development is stalled because I haven't time for it. I'll continue work on Vivaldi Mod Manager later (maybe in start of next year). But I'll try to fix bugs from reports ASAP (now I have only one report).

The sidebar that shows versions.. could be more useful.. I have 2 instance of the same versions.. but the sidebar is useless and doesn't have anyway of even seeing which version is sitting in which file system path, even rmb context menu that lets you goto that version folder would be useful or mouseover that shows the a tooltip of the that version path.

other than minor issues like that its ok

you have to admit it's a bit strange to keep 2 same versions apart from testing purposes.

Koolio

@ian-coog

even so, I know which instance of vivaldi is which by where it was installed..different drive maybe different version, stable, beta etc...

a bunch of version numbers... with no other way of gaining more info on which is which isn't very good

Any chance on getting a version that doesn't require .NET? I'd love to use this tool but won't be installing .NET just for it.

NeoCortex

@Koolio good idea. Anyway, I can't say when new version will become available. As I said before, development will be resumed in next year.

NeoCortex

@Jack9 windows 10 already have proper .Net version. Version without net will require full rewrite. Maybe some other developer will create native version, but I'll not.

Koolio

@NeoCortex ok

@NeoCortex Only around 50% of Windows users are on Windows 10.

@Jack9 doesn't take much to install .net 4.5 and it will be used for other things anyway, so sooner or later also Win7/8 users should adapt to it. I'm still on Win7 myself, so I had to update it.

Jack9

@iAN-CooG There's been nothing that I've ever needed, other than this tool, that has needed .NET 4.5 and, I won't use anything while I"m still on Win7 that does. Adding any version of .NET adds a lot of bloat.

iAN CooG

@Jack9 it's your choice, but there is no other similar tool and the author doesn't know to do it in other ways.
I've done something similar myself but in Python, and it's not as user friendly, see my signature.
I never had any use of java on my PC, but one single tool forced me to install it as there was no alternative.
Make your choice

adapt to the necessity
make the tool yourself as you want it to be
live without it

Jack9

@iAN-CooG Yes, I'll live fine without it. With any other tool I've ever needed that's either required installing other software or a fee, there's been a suitable alternative. Guess not this time.

Well, other software comes often bundled with the necessary stuff and installs it automatically - like c or .net runtimes etc.
You can't really expect from a single programmer or scripter (who can be rightly quite proud of the software because it works really well) that he resolves all dependencies, especially those which are so easy to meet by the user. It is a trade off between the time he wants to or can invest into his program and ease of use - especially for a tool that is basically a convenience tool, because there is always the manual way.

Additionally I personally expect that there might be some dependencies for a relatively complicated work like that, that way I can be pleasantly surprised if the author has taken care of it for me

Hi,
I would like to understand your program's function.

Does apply the Js / Css, or just BckUp / Restore them to a folder?

I did not see any Apply button and there's no WiKi yet.

Thank you.

iAN CooG

@rafiki you have to check the VivaldiModManager.exe properties/details.
V0.2.5.0 is the last version anyway.

iAN CooG

@Zalex108 The mods are applied/disabled live, while you tick/untick them.
You can even have multiple vivaldi versions installed, and the mods are applied on the version(s) ticked on the right side panel.
When you update Vivaldi you have to use the Migration tool menu, to copy/move the mods from the older version to the newer one.

Thanks.

I will give it another try.
Firsts tests didn't work despite added the installations to the App and went to manual adding but same result.

Something wrong on my settings or applies.
I'll check again on a test profile before.

Thank you.

I don't see any .exe file from the .zip. Does this not work in Windows 10? How to install & run?

@mouravieffantiableism
I think that is source code .zip.
.exe file contained .zip you are looking for is here.
