Names for Windows
-
Should this be tagged Windows? It's about Vivaldi for desktop in general, because "Windows OS" (in various versions since the 1980s) isn't the same as windows used on many Operating systems since the 1970s ...
@Pesala ?

Currently it's my top required feature in Vivaldi.
There's another equally important missing feature - multirow tabs, but I can achieve it using mods.
So it's really what is really missing in Vivaldi.@shifte said in Names for Windows:
Maybe I don't understand what you said.
A = D:\Vivaldi\vivaldi.exe
B = D:\2Vivaidi\2vivaldi.exe←RenameA : class name = Chrome_WidgetWin_1
B : class name = Chrome_WidgetWin_1
A: exe name =vivaldi .exe
B: exe name =2vivaldiexeIt could be a workaround but it has several disadvntages.
- You couldn't yeasily move tabs from one window to another. Instead you have to copy and paste urls.
- You should remember to reopen all instances of the browser.
- To rename windows you still have to use a 3rd party applications.

As @barbudo2005 mentioned, Chrome has this already - hope it comes to Vivaldi too.

Since Vivaldi prides itself on its flexible tabs implementation, I was a bit shocked that this feature didn't already exist. This feature request is now almost 4 years old. Firefox has had nameable windows for as long as I can remember, Edge has them, Brave has them, and Chrome has them.
As far as I'm aware, Vivaldi is the only commonly used browser I've tried that doesn't have this feature.
For what it's worth, this for me is a show stopper, so I'm ending my trial of Vivaldi as a result. It's a shame, because many people I know are frustrated and looking for a browser to move to/settle on. I certainly wouldn't recommend Vivaldi at this point.

Damn I discovered this very useful feature on Edge which seems to be part of Chromium sourcecode for like half a year. How come it is not available in Vivaldi?
Is there a flag to enable? -

Yes this would be super helpful - really weird that this hasn't been implemented alrady
-
Soon this feature request will celebrate it's 5 year birthday. I hope by that time this feature will be implemented

I'll add my vote to this list.... would make my life a lot easier.

I can't believe this still isn't implemented. What is the Vivaldi team actually doing?? This is already implemented in Chrome

@MonkCanatella
Hi, I guess because only 83 user vote for it in 4 1/2 Years.
I don´t need this at all but this is all personal preference, vote for it if you need this feature:
Cheers, mib

@MonkCanatella Other things have a greater priority. This is just one of 5,000 requests. It has a good number of upvotes, but that is not the main factor that determines what gets prioritised.

Well I think ease of development/time vs how much value it creates should be part of the equation - Why is it hard to implement what already has existed in chrome for so long? I feel like it's even harder to remove the capability than to add it in.
And it's funnny seeing email on here, considering it's one of the worst features of the browser and works so poorly. I've tried it on 2 different occasions and found it very disappointing.
So the team is sinking resources into something that doesn't bring much joy, but with a single line of code could really make a huge impact on being able to organize windows/tabs.
Let's not forget the only reason we're on hre using Vivaldi is because it's the epitome of the customizable browser. Not being able to name your windows the way you can do in CHrome is frankly embarrassing.

Vivaldi uses Chrome's code for rendering web pages. It has its own code for the User Interface, so it has to add code to implement renaming windows.
Mail, Calendar, and Feeds clearly have a lot of fans, or it would not have more than 10% of all feature requests. I have used email since the first Beta release, and no longer need to bother with webmail.
-
Ahhh so it's only using the rendering engine. The interface is totally homegrown. I guess that makes sense. If only this program was open source and we could write our own solutions - I think the amount of code needed to write this solution is small and would make a lot of people happy.
-
Recently moving from Chrome to Vivaldi; this and the ability to cycle through recent media tabs are the two main features I am feeling the absence of most keenly. Would very much like to name Windows for persistent tab collections and even better if they retain those names when you save a session

@TheHighHorse Vote for the first post if you haven't already done so. (Voting again will remove your vote).
