Spinner during page load – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1435.4
-
@g_bartsch: Thank you for bringing this up. Didn't notice earlier.
-
Spinner doesn't work on my machine.
Nothing is spinning - there is just some icon-flickering in my tab but no spinner. -
@alf5000 You need to enable it in Settings, Tabs, Tab Display.
-
@alf5000: From the blog post
if you want to show the spinner, go to “Preferences → Tabs → Tab Display → Favicon Spinner”
-
@supra107: We are working on and trying a lot of different things internally and our internal builds sometimes have extra features in various stages of working. When things are still very raw or in a fluctuating state or readiness (e.g. large parts of mail have been re-written multiple times), we make a decision not to share them (yet).
Now, despite how it might seem from the outside, when you see references to mail, rss, calendar, etc. we are not do this intentionally. It happens because our automated tests work with internal builds (where such features are expected) and the manual testers (myself included) get used to seeing these icons and settings and hence become sort of blind to them when doing snapshot release testing. So it is not an intentional “tease”. Just plain old human error!

Additionally, you may need:
Tools/Settings
(use the settings search field for "animation" )- Window Appearance/use animation
-
@TbGbe I think it might be worth adding something to that setting to make it clear that without animations turned on it won't work. Like this:
-
@LonM Better to link them. If the Favicon Spinner is enabled then Use Animation should be enabled automatically if it is currently disabled. Conversely, if Use Animation is disabled then Favicon Spinner should be disabled automatically.
However, disabling Favicon Spinner should not disable Use Animation.

I wrote few snapshots ago about issue that https pages are sometimes giving Timeout on first try. With 1435.4 it gets worse. I found out that it is occuring when I'm connected to corporate VPN - Checkpoint Securemote. But Opera works fine, thats strange to me.
-
@ruario of course I did enable spinner in settings, but there is no spinning wheel on my Vivaldi. the tab-icons just do some flickering, but no spinning.

o.k. that's it, thanks. but I saw it a bit too late. IMHO Vivaldi developers should have a closer look at this - how should anybody know that these settings have a dependency?

@npro: I believe that this (i.e. the spinner) must be the only indicator. There must be a choice to get rid of all the other indications inside the address bars - does anybody understand or notice what they are doing?
I always notice the progress in the address bar. Spinners are just a waste of UI space to me
-
@ruario: Clock tease.
-
Sync doesn't seem to be working at all for me in this release (using Win10).
I started with a clean user profile (new User Data folder)
Logged into sync
Entered Encryption password
Sync Immediately reports "Sync data successfully downloaded from server"
Sync now just sets at "Waiting for sync data to be committed" but never does
I have logged out of and back into sync, no change. Stopping\restarting Vivaldi makes no change. -
@Gwen-Dragon I've been noticing this too. The only extensions that I imagine might be causing it (as I don't have privacy badger) are HTTPS Everywhere or uBlock Origin.
If I reload the PDFs a couple of times the progress bar eventually goes away, though even if the progress bar doesn't finish, the PDF still loads properly.
-
the rest is to add the icon of selected search engine into search field. and mail client, of course. the only features I'm still waiting for
-
At last, thanks. Maybe the loading animation could look different or nicer because in active tab in dark themes it look worse?
Also I think now Page title notifications looks worse.
