A few updates before the weekend – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2490.3
-
I'd like to see this improvement added to the new theming options: the ability to make it so that when using a bottom tab bar I could make the top part with the menus and address bar and all that transparent, so that the background would be used in pretty much all places except for the active tab.
-
I made an adjustment to the background colour of my theme so that the loudspeaker icon now displays OK.
-
@rhk I had the same thing happen once a few weeks ago (stable version IIRC). I also eventually fixed it by doing some restore from backup, just like you!
I'm guessing it has something to do with a flag in the registry mis-matching "current version" with files on the disk - in my case the PC coincidentally crashed just when I was installing the new version.
No comment on the forum when I mentioned it, but this is a pretty nasty bug (can't install or uninstall any more!) so I do hope it gets taken seriously if others are being affected.

@mossman Hi, In my case, it happened when updating from 2482.13 which was announced by Vivaldi with an update notification to 2488.3 and as soon as Vivaldi reopened after that update, a new update notification to 2490.3 came up which I started. That's when the error occurred.
Besides the update installer problem, I think Vivaldi should not offer an update to a superseded version if a newer one is already available. In my case, I was on 2482.13 when 2490.3 was already out but it updated to 2388.3 first.

I was wondering whether it would be helpful to report minor and major glitches in the translation panel. So far, "Automatic Detection" doesn't work: You have to explicitly specify both languages. Chinese language doesn't work (The "Translate" button remains grayed out). Japanese punctuations (こんにちは。) stays in the English translation (Hello。).
I'm not complaining. I'm just wondering whether the devs want these reports. Maybe all these are known and we have only to wait a bit.
-
@ryofurue Have you tried automatic detection with more than 30 words? That seems to be the lower limit at present.
-
@ayespy What do we do for the many occasions when our target comprises fewer words, maybe only a few?
Ans. = DeepL?
-
@guigirl That's up to the user. I wish we had a more elegant solution but, for the moment, we don't. A language decoder in Chromium does the detecting and for now, Vivaldi has to use that mechanism.
-
@ayespy: Thanks. I confirm that pasting longer text triggers auto detection.
So, I understand the inability to detect the language with shorter text is due to Chrome.
-
@ryofurue Chromium, yes. Chrome uses Google translation services and can detect based on a single word.

I use 2-level stacks and have noticed I can no longer create a pinned tab.
Existing pinned tabs remain OK.
-
@cheekybuddha Working OK here at the moment. Try reassigning the shortcut for Pin / Unpin Tabs. I use Shift+P.
-
Thank you - keyboard shortcut works, but Pin/Unpin Tab menu item still not present in the tab's shortcut menu
