Solved Drag and Drop in Download Panel

janrif · Vivaldi 7.1.3554.3 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Click the magnifying glass icon in the Downloads Panel

@Pesala Where do you see magnifying glass in downloads panel?

This is one of the top-voted feature requests, and has been requested for over FOUR years with no implementation or updates in sight? What's the point of having feature requests and user voting if the development team just ignores what users want for years on end?

That's quite sad that Vivaldi developers ignores feature requests. This and the two heavy problems (ctrl+shift+c not working, no drag'n'drop) forces me to search for alternative browser.

@TuTAH It is sad that we see so many posts like yours from new users who assume that their pet issue is the most important thing demanding the developers' attention.

With 5,351 feature requests, and a small team, those needed by few users or difficult to implement may have to wait for a long time. Wherever you see that a feature is tagged as In Progress, it may get done this year rather than next.

This old request with 163 upvotes is not tagged, but it is not hard to work around.
Copying text to a note in the Developers Tools is apparently already possible.

Its so frustrating this doesnt work as expected - its a flow killer.

Please prioritize bringing this functionality to an upcoming snapshot. It's something super simple but very useful that any other browser has.

I work with photoshop and other adobes programs, so I constantly need to download images and bring them to photoshop, it ends up being a tedious job having to open the file explorer just to get that.

It's a little frustrating to see that since 2018 they've been asking for this and so far nothing.

@caioy If you associate the files with Adobe Photoshop, you do not need to open the download folder in explorer. Just double-click the file in the download panel to open it in PhotoShop.

For example, I associate *.7z archives with the 7-Zip file manager. If I double-click the *.7z archive in the download popup or the download panel, it opens in the 7-Zip file manager. Downloaded RAW files open in IrfanView, etc.

took me a while to notice it wasn't just my computer

Note how it is implemented in Yandex Browser. There you immediately move the downloaded file to the desired open folder from the downloads list or drop it into the drag and drop page for uploading to the site.

@Pesala There are files that do not need to be opened only by Photoshop, for such .jpg .png .the gif for them is xnview. But in the work of photo editors, these files are not bypassed. And drag and drop will make it easier to work with them

This is absolutely necessary and I am amazed it isn't a default feature. Slows me down so much when I have to open file explorer every time to drag and drop a file, when in other browsers I can just drag from the browser downloads.

We have added this request to the pipeline. It's not being worked on yet, but it's now on our "to-do" list.

Great to hear! Could you maybe consider making it possible for modifications and/or extensions to create draggable handles as well (i.e. drag data transfer magic akin to application/x-moz-file)? I would really, really love to have draggable files in my download shelf modification.

If we could get that to work we could win over a bunch of new frustrated chrome users as they are removing the download shelf. You would make me very happy too

I guess I could very painfully inject a ton of stuff into a webview of vivaldi://downloads to accomplish it right now but I much prefer not going through that pain. You can also NDA me and give me source and I do it, anything to not having to inject through a trillion shadow roots

Would it also be possible to implement a system similar to opera's file panel? It would complete the same functions as drag and drop from downloads, but also allow access to images from the clipboard.
