Tab, menu and Speed Dial fixes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2218.3

@mib2berlin Cool, that is encouraging
-
Mail contacts are not imported yet. I still have Opera 12.18 installed to find old contacts.
Email import does work, but some folders were removed from one account pop3.ntlworld.com This is an old email from before Virgin Media bought NTL and I am now with Vodafone, so nothing much to lose there.
(VB-77637) Importing Mail from Opera 12.18 Created Empty Account and Deleted Some Folders
No Trash folder exists for the account.
-
Focus still on speed dial search bar instead of address bar after pressing the home button.

@burnout426 Never mind. I see it's part of the Opera 12 import wizard. I'll test it later. I'll also see if it imports mail from standalone M2.
On a quick test, it didn't seem to work for me on a standalone M2. I run Opera 12 unpacked from an old tar.xz file to a non-standard folder. There doesn't seem to be an option to direct the import to any custom directory. The spinning icon was there for a while and then stopped with no message. So it is probably searching the default location.
Maybe if I copy/symlink my Opera 12 data from the standalone install to the default location it will be found. I think Opera 12 used to install user data to ~/.opera
-
@ugly I was able to select the folder, but I still got the spinning icon for a long time. Mail imported after a couple of tries.
-
@Ruarí Ok, after some fiddling I got everything back. I moved the Mail, Storage and IndexedDB folders out of my Default profile and after starting Vivaldi up my mail accounts showed up and started fetching all the messages again. The RSS feeds fetched everything anew again too and are visible now. I really don’t know what happened there… My mail accounts weren’t visible in settings, but setting them up failed, because somehow they still were in the system.

@sjudenim: I am not sure if this makes me feel better or worse.
I was testing what @luetage had posted and realized the issue, my password keeps getting removed so the failure is that it's not logging in. That's a little more encouraging. I will keep an eye on when and why the password is being removed

Thanks for this Friday update! As for VB-77281: The gap is still present here (latest Vivaldi SS 64 bit, Win 10 64 bit, resolution or Windows UI scaling does not matter so it seems)...

Okay, there seems to be an interface bug.
When I open the Import From Applications... dialog, by default Opera 12.x is selected from the dropdown. But at the bottom of the dialog, the only buttons are 'Start Import' or 'Cancel'.
But if I change the dropdown from Opera 12.x to another option (Mozilla) and then go back to Opera 12.x (press down arrow and up arrow), then when Opera 12.x is selected instead of 'Start Import' I get 'Choose a Folder...' and 'Cancel'.
I tried a standalone install, and it seems to have the same issue where I need to switch to another option then back to Opera 12.x to get the 'Choose a Folder...' option.
-
@ugly I wonder why it defaults to Edge (legacy)?

So "Remove Image Padding and Restore Original Ratio" was "corrected" because it was considered as "fault" after "people's demand". I say we're back in the previous "crude" tiles. As for the mail, it never worked for me. I have submitted a bug report, sent a screen shot with the Vivaldi error message and still use the good old Opera mail. Nevertheless, the browser is functional and I don't find any serious problems bothering me. I only wish there were less angles, less rectangles and more elegant touches to the browser, for example some 3d presentation of the tiles, another background and fonts for the tile description text etc. I also wish I had the choice of using full size favicons instead of finding tile images for every individual url which is tedious and time consuming, especially when having to install Vivaldi in another computer.

I've got two similar Nicknames - they have gotten mixed up for the last few versions.
Nickname1: free (for English FreeCommander forum)
Nickname2: freed (for German FreeCommander forum)when I write "free" Vivaldi autocompletes to "freed".
misbehavior started one or two versions ago. -
@alf5000 Change your nickname for the German forum so that there is no conflict, e.g. frieg instead of freed.

I'll test it later. I'll also see if it imports mail from standalone M2.
In a fresh profile of a standalone installation of Opera Mail 1.0.1044, I set up an IMAP account to connect to my Vivaldi Mail. As in,
imap.vivaldi.net
on port 993 + TLS andsmtp.vivaldi.net
on port 465 + TLS. All was good there. I sent one message to test SMTP. The IMAP sent folder was set to "Sent" on the server when I did this and the copy appeared there. There were existing messages in the IMAP sent folder and the INBOX IMAP folder etc. The default "Make messages available offline when I click them" was set. During account setup, I set my display name. And, after account setup, I set a plain text signature.Anyway, In a fresh profile of Vivaldi, I turned on mail, went to File -> "Import from application or files" -> Opera 12. I then made sure that only "Mail" and "Passwords" were checked. I then chose the "profile" folder in the standalone installation of Opera Mail and did the import. After Vivaldi said the import succeeded, I checked things out and found some issues.
Initially, the only IMAP folder shown for the account in the mail panel was "Sent" and it had just 3 messages in it. I looked at the settings for the account in Vivaldi and on the "identity" tab for the account, "local account" was checked. I then unchecked it and did a check/send, but the account didn't connect. So, I looked in the privacy section in Vivaldi and checked to see if the IMAP and SMTP passwords for the account were imported. They were, but on the "servers" tab for the account, the imported passwords were not recognized. I had to type them in myself and then click "Update account" to get things working. I then checked stored passwords in Vivaldi to see if there were now 2 more entries (another one for IMAP, and another one for SMTP), but there were not. Seems like when I manually typed the passwords on the "Servers" tab for the account, the UI updated the existing entries that were imported.
So:
-
The imported IMAP account was tagged as a local account by default when it shouldn't have been.
-
The mail passwords were imported but not used.
-
I'm guessing that the reason why the "Sent" folder initially showed up under the account and had 3 messages before it was even able to connect was because 3 of the IMAP sent messages where in the IMAP cache (store folder) in M2. Or, maybe there was some other reason. Anyway, I wanted to test to see if those 3 imported sent messages were actually tied to the copies on the server. So, in Thunderbird, I moved all messages in the IMAP sent folder to the IMAP trash folder and then emptied the IMAP trash folder. I then checked in Vivaldi and at mail.vivaldi.net. All messages in the IMAP sent folder were gone in Thunderbird and at mail.vivaldi.net. But, in M3, one message remained that's not tied to any message on the server. Not a big deal. But, I'm hoping importing of cached IMAP messages are actually tied to the ones on the IMAP server. If they are not, importing an IMAP account shouldn't import messages at all. Something to investigate and double check. I'm not sure how robust the importing is as far as checking the database and uidl files etc. to match up cached copies to the ones on the server.
There were 2 other things I noticed:
-
The display name (Real Name= under the section for the account in accounts.ini in M2's mail folder) is not imported as the mail account's "Sender Name" in M3.
-
The signature text for the account in M2 was not imported into M3. (Signature File=.../signatureN.txt under the account section in accounts.ini that points to signatureN.txt in the mail folder.)
Also, I'm guessing that "Download Bodies=1" ("Make all messages available offline") in M2's accounts.ini under an account's section) is not mapped to "Prefetch full messages" for the generated IMAP account in M3. But, it could be if that's desired.

[RSS][New] Add feeds panel first working version (VB-18767)
I’ve gotten used to the all-in-one approach, I hope it’ll stay at least as an option if feeds get separated.
-
-
The "Opera 12.x" import option should probably be renamed "Opera 12.x / Opera Mail".
-
@potmeklecbohdan The feed panel is just a way to access feeds when you don’t have any mail accounts. Previously you had to at least add one to view and access them. The Mail complete view still works as normal and I don’t use the feed panel. It has one upside though, you can refresh feeds manually with a button, that’s impossible from Mail panel. I think automatic updating of feeds is still broken…
-
Icons on the panle gotr reorganized (mail went from second from the top to fifth) and some favicons for wepanels changed with this snapshot.
-
@felagund The feeds panel was added, so presumably the icon order was reset to the default. Users can change the order with Shift+Drag.
