Adjust the Speed Dial size – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1511.4
-
I have problem with extensions bar. I can't open uBlock by a left click.
-
@duzers too bad seems a regression in this snapshot, but restarting vivaldi seems to cure the extensions popup, until it happens again. I can't repro exactly what causes it to fail opening.
-
I haven't yet seen this bug happen. If it does happen again, something you could try is this:
- Open
vivaldi://inspect
- Open the apps section
- Click the inspect button under vivaldi
If something is causing an error, a little red bar will show up in the "Console" tab each time the error happens. If one shows up when you click an extension button, that could be a good indicator of what the problem is.

@jacekn: Ok. So all the windows belong to the same session right? This build had a bookmark upgrade in it and I have seen one case where that failed and broke loading of bookmarks. Happened because the upgrade had one entry for slashdot with a nickname "/." which conflicted with an already installed bookmark (duplicate nicknames are not allowed) on that particular setup. This is fixed with VB-51758. In your case I guess it was sync that kicked in after some time and triggered proper loading after loading on startup failed. Why it failed I can not say for sure unless you can reproduce going from pref. snapshot to current in a clean profile (created by the prev snapshot) where you place a copy of the regular bookmark file before upgrading to current snapshot. If you can make that fail repeatedly I would like a copy of that bookmark file if you feel giving it away. In any case, the next snapshot will have code that make startup loading more robust. Note that the bookmark upgrade code only triggers if there is something to upgrade and that does not happen every snapshot/release.

@iAN-CooG I had this a few times now, toggling UI fixes it, no need to restart. At least on my system.

@PardusPars After the update, all the default folders reappeared and the Speed Dial folder was double. Has it already been reported?
They way it is supposed to work now (we have added an id to every default bookmark) is that if those are deleted by a user the id is saved to prefs. On next bookmark upgrade (that does not have to happen on every snapshot or regular release) for each bookmark in the default bookmark collection we provide we will test if its id is a registered deleted id and if so we will not reinstall it.
One way to break this is to copy a bookmark file from one profile to another where the deleted information is missing.
The id support was added with 2.4. If you have deleted before that it could very well be that this is the first time bookmarks have been upgraded. In that scenario there will be no saved deleted ids to test for and duplication can not be avoided. That should only happen the first time upgrading occurs though.

Tiny thumbs.

This snapshot seems to have fixed a strange long-term issue that I've had with Ubuntu Forum's SSO login and Vivaldi. I've mentioned it before on Vivaldi's forum a while ago where there were some "works for me" and also others who suffered the same. It was one of those frustrating bugs (if it was one).
The login worked fine with Firefox and other browsers, but for a few years it was no-go with Vivaldi on Linux or Windows. It'd start the login process, but when it refreshed to the forum, I'd still be logged out. I tried with a fresh profile, yet it still didn't work. It's one of the things I try with most snapshot updates, and at last it's working as expected.
It might be something they changed on Ubuntu's forum, or it might be the new Chromium version or it might be a change in Vivaldi, but it's now working for me.

Everything seems to be working well with this SS.
Resizing the the speed dial tiles has been something I've been hoping for for a good while. I liked the way @den_po had implemented it, but this works. Thanks

@mrmeireles too bad, after restart of the browser today, whatsapp doesn't work any longer
I give it a try with the UA changer -

yeah, sliders for width and spacing of thumbs was extremely good for fine tuning, but current solution is better than none, I can finally have 7x5 speed dial on my 1280x1024 monitor, with no extra mods, and I'm good.

I get something clarified about speed dial sizes? If I get it wrong, it'll just annoy me.
What is the size / ratio of a speed dial?
The default images in
/resources
are all 360 by 440, but looking at the actual size in the browser, they are in this ratio- Default: 220*183
- Huge (the maximum size): 320*267
I recall that over time, the sizes have changed, but what is the now "canonical" size I should be making custom speed dial images at?
-
@LonM I still make them 440 X 360 and everything works out.
-
Good question. My custom speed dials (800 x 600) have changed slightly now.
Vivaldi saves thumbnails at 1024 x 838. When I use an aspect ratio calculator I'm given a aspect ratio of 512 : 419 as the result

@espen: the problem is that even now restarting Vivaldi may cause window to have no bookmarks for a while
but it will load just fine after some time
looks like every window loads them separately and i have around ~500 bookmarks
This is how it looks:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/4hcm2l72oq22xpz/2019-04-10_19-49-04.mp4(BTW: Look why I'm disliking Vivaldi's performace - ~45 seconds to have responsive browser (but it is still slow during background pages load) - sounds like '98, not '19 with i7 and 16 gigs)
Fun thing: I just noticed I got
Technology
folder re-added 3 times and one with different content: https://i.imgur.com/wVylE1w.png - I'd like to not having them re-added anyway, but that's a different problem -
Love it!
But one of my favourite gif is gone from the Speed Dial...
RIP Vivaldi gif...

@Ornorm If you have a backup you can still pull the gif out of the application contents and save it elsewhere to load it into Vivaldi as custom speed dial. I think Vivaldi also has old versions of the application as download, which all feature the gif.

@mib2berlin @luetage Thank you very much for your contributions folks
I did change the default one immediately with the one I used here on the forum.
