What is the Vivaldi Team planning

Ever tried typing vivaldi://chat/ into the url bar?

DoctorG

@Pathduck Ssshhhhhh!
Not really a secret.

@Pathduck I have now

While it IS very exciting to have new features, I would like to see more time put to bug fixing.. and perhaps making many of the already implemented features better/properly working (e.g. disable video autoplay).

Community, I know this isn't the Ticket Submission section, but I've already submitted a ticket and there has been no response on it that I've seen or found. Issue: Clicking on the "Bookmark Page" option no longer gives the option to place the bookmark into the specific folder I need it to be in. This could be due to some Windows Update changes as most issues are, but it's exasperating. To store a bookmark now, I have to open the Bookmarks page and manually create the bookmark in the correct folder. Otherwise, the bookmark goes to whatever the last saved bookmark folder happens to be (which I most of the time do not remember). So I have to delete that saved bookmark and proceed to manually create it from the Bookmark's page. In the past, when the Bookmark A Page opton was clicked on, a prompt to SAVE it to a specific folder would appear. Now it just reports, "Bookmark Saved." Please address this.

@gbt20317: You can click the bookmark icon again to open the dialog, or enable "Settings > Bookmarks > Always Open Bookmark Dialog" to have it open every time, restoring the previous behavior.

At this particular point in time I'm really frustrated with the latest snapshot version of the windows version of the browser that's currently installed on my windows 11 pro 64-bit pc (5.7.2887.3 (Official Build) (64-bit) . Virtually all of my saved sites on my speed dial page are not being displayed properly, I find this behavior strange due to the fact that all of my speed dial saved sites are still showing in my bookmarks area. The only way that I know how to correct this issue is to basically start from scratch which I'm not really wanting to do at this point in time. I was hoping by me signing out of my account and syncing everything again would correct my issue but it didn't, quite frankly I can't remember having this happen in the past. But since I still enjoy using vivaldi I'll just have to decide what action to perform next, and at least for me I still also have the address bar dropdown arrow not functioning issue that some other users have been complaining about as well.

@Davy49 The dropdown does only work if you have typed addresses before. Yes, it is not easy to know why the button is gray.

What is broken for your Speed Dial page? How does it look?

Davy49

DoctorG,
As always thanks so very much in your efforts to help not only myself but all of the other people seeking help as well. I'm enclosing a screenshot of what I'm currently seeing. Merry Christmas

@Davy49 I remember some older Vivaldi Stables/Snapshot i had such issues when i synced bookmarks.

In your case really strange as the Bookmarks data file should contain all thumbnails of sites you had added. Or had you set a user-defined image instead of teh page thumb for bookmarks?

Does F5 on Speed Dial and its sub folders help to refresh the thumbnails?

DoctorG

Sync removed my thumbs on my Snapshot and Stable, too. Nasty issue!
Sync should never touch them.

Seems to be this in Changelog:
[Sync] Synchronize custom bookmark thumbnail metadata (VB-93139)

@DoctorG
While viewing the screenshot that I enclosed in my previous message you can see that some of my saved sites aren't even displaying a bookmark icon in some the speed dial categories. I've never faced anything such as this since I've been using the vivaldi browser, it's SO very frustrating. And of course since I'm not a software developer, I'm really beginning to wonder if there's some kind of issue with the sync mechanism, I'm tempted to install the latest stable version of the browser.
David

DoctorG

@Davy49 I think you should not use a Snapshot version, a Snapshot is more for testers.

Davy49

@DoctorG
Up until now I've never had any issues while using a snapshot version, I'm currently using a different windows 11 computer with the latest snapshot version installed on it. As a test I'm going to install the stable version and see if that makes any difference at all.

Please install 5.6 Stable not over 5.7 Snapshot, the versions differ and can cause other issues because of browser profile data.

@DoctorG
I completely uninstalled the snapshot version that I had installed, and now have this version installed: 5.6.2867.50 (Stable channel) (64-bit) , unfortunately I have the exact same issue with my speed dial page in the stable version as i was with the snapshot version.
David
Quick Update: Up until now I'm proud to say that I've never had to create an additional person to try & see if it would fix any issues I was having, but on this particular occasion I thought that I would and I'm at least so far glad that i did because my copy of this great browser is usable once again.
