Quick Commands and Speed Dial updates – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2209.3

dmg

Hi, I am just a user that likes to follow what's going on.
I have some feedback on this version.

Speed Dial:
I cant drop a link onto another link to create a folder anymore. It also creates empty folders.

Tab Dragging:
The original method seemed so fluid as tabs moved over to make way as you dragged the tab not the thumbnail and this doesn't, it feels quite jarring and staccato.

I think 2 reasons:
1: - Part of the issue is now we are dragging a thumbnail around looking to fit a huge thumbnail into a small gap. I think it would be better to have the option of thumbnail or Tab. Tab in my opinion would feel more natural.

2: - Just get rid of the Blue dotted rectangle completely, That would make it feel a lot less jarring, a big empty space is enough of a prompt and it would look nicer and work quite well. Perhaps just lighten the background area of the space subtly, but the way it is now doesn't look nice.

I do like how it is easier to make a tab stack, though now its possibly too easy as I find myself making too many tab stacks.

These are some issues that have been around a few snapshots, now.

Tab layers:
Closing to the right affects the top layer and not just the stack layer you are on. I have lost all my tabs this way.

New Tab stack:
Highlighting 2 tabs within a tab stack and clicking add to new tab stack does nothing. This does however work nicely within the window panel.

Tab Stack for pinned tabs:
I really would like this without a key combination. Especially for Stacking all my Pinned tabs and keep them out of the way.

Anyway just my 2 cents, well done with all you are doing.

Exactly!
I don't see a point for changing the tab dragging. I wonder what was wrong with the original method
Also when you have thumbnails disabled you don't want to see thumbnail when dragging...

I can see some advantages to showing the thumbnails, even if one has them disabled for normal use. However, blank thumbnails certainly defeat any purpose that they might have.

I think it is just a bug. Sometimes it is actually a site thumbnail.

@guigirl: Can a Mod pls confirm to me that my email did get received & that the Bug Tracker does indeed show that this VB-68138 did get reopened? I did not get any reply to my email, but i can't recall now if that's normal or not.

I can confirm that your email has been received and the bug indeed currently has status "Confirmed".

@juanvase: also when you move a pinned tab it opens up a space the size of the Titanic, I mean a large tab. I don't understand why the space needs to be as big as a tab anyway. If all spaces were the size of a pinned tab that would surely be enough of a visual clue, look better and be more fluid.

Would that be the bow, or the stern?

@guigirl Very suspicious. Your snapshot includes a cmd mom file, I wonder what that is doing. I hate it when browser vendors slip in files that could potentially hurt my family.

@ian-coog: Certainly lacking in the design department! Much prefer the title to be centred underneath, separate from the Thumbnail. I tried Title only - ended up with left justified title - not good. I tried Thumbnail only, ended up with long rectangular Thumbnail - ugly, should just leave it as square! Conclusion - Android on Windows is not for me.

If you use the Vivaldi Calendar feature with Google, you should upgrade before tomorrow, as the change VB-77269 (below) should make it work better for you.

Huh? What's tommorow?

There is an empty area in the thumbnail preview:

I'm pretty sure you already know - but waiting for a fix - this "mod" could help.

/* Fix the thumb bug */
.addbookmark-cardwrapper .thumbnail-image img,
.addbookmark-cardwrapper .thumbnail-image svg {width: 100%;}

Thanks! This is a 2nd mod in this thread! Vivaldi users are the best!
I will keep living with this bug because it reminds me that the bug not fixed :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

After this update, Vivaldi became a ram hog just like Chrome (Yeah, I know it is Chromium-based, but this has never happened before)
