Solved Show All Windows and their Tabs in the Window Panel
-
Figured I'd revive this thread a little and say I too would love to see this feature, would be super useful for huge numbers of tabs, which Vivaldi is obviously the best at handling, making it an even more relevant feature.
-
Make window panels windows panels again.
Make Windows, not Microsoft.
I currently wonder how private and guest windows should be handled within the windows panel.
In O12, private windows and private tabs are just shown and I believe that's how I'd want it to be. I don't know if this would require some fundamental architectural reworking. But for a single window, also each tab acts as its own process, so probably it's not even that complicated to build. -
@jumpsq said in Show All Windows and their Tabs in the Window Panel:
In O12, private windows and private tabs are just shown and I believe that's how I'd want it to be.
Agreed. Having these windows open is not a secret on your own PC where the OS alt+Tab and other means will show them just like any other application window. Private is just about your data privacy towards websites and the data stored on your computer.
If it's difficult to implement, just start without private window in the panel. That's still better than no windows in the panel...

This is something I was expecting would be standard as I've been adapting to Vivaldi from Chrome. I was expecting an interface similar to session buddy extension where all the active windows are displayed with their tabs and sessions can be saved and recalled.
Also, this feature would pair well with the ability to name browser windows, similar to Chrome, so if you have a persistent window with set tabs on a project, it's easier to fine when using Alt Tab or switching desktops (see here for that feature request)

@ChadGarion25 rejoice, the latest snapshot now has a windows panel that finally shows all tabs in all windows. This also makes finding the window with the Mail tab SO much easier...
-
Anyone knows how to disable this feature in the latest snapshot and make Vivaldi show only tabs from current window in "Window" panel (old behavior)?
-
@yurkoy There is currently no way to disable it, but you can collapse the trees of other windows to focus on the tabs in the active window.

will collapse the entire tree. -
This was completed in the latest vivaldi 5.7 - https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-5-7-on-desktop/

@Pesala this works very poorly. If you switch from the window panel to another panel and back, it takes whatever changes you did in another window, as below.
- Start with two windows, A and B
- In the window panel of window A, collapse the tree for window B (showing only window A's tabs)
- In window B, collapse the tree for window A
- In window A, switch to the bookmarks panel then back to the window panel
- Observe that window B's tree is shown and window A's tree is collapsed (because that was the last change made in any window)

is it possible to see only tabs in active window? or quickly focus on active tab?
now i'm lost or need to scroll continuously to find my active tab, or collapse/expand windows because i dont know what window I actually see, and this small dot as marker for me it is uselesscan i toggle back to see only tabs in my active window?
-
@Pesala yep, and when you click on another window then you need to collapse previous and expand active one...
maybe if it detects switching windows and collapse all but active by default?
or simply provide toggle to disable it
-
Is there any way to revert this change? Hidden option or anything? I actually really want the WINDOW panel to display just the tab list. Alternatively, a separate panel that lists only tabs as a lists of tab names would be good.
