Start Page Dashboard enabled – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3494.33

Ruarí

@chas4: Nah, I don't think so but maybe the most when the last snapshot was only 3 days ago.

Hi, go to Setting → Start Page → DASHBOARD and uncheck "Enable Dashboard"
When you want to rehabilitate it, do the reverse procedure.

I don't like the center-alignment of the speed dial tiles. How do I align them to the left?

[Start Page] Not displayed in Private Window (VB-110201)
Thank you very much.
I'll start to try the dashboard. It looks like usefull.

[Downloads] Download “Save Link As” should not use auto-numbering for existing filename (VB-110404)

The best fix i ever saw and so fast implemented, it was reported a few days ago.
A big thanks to our Vivaldi developer André!

@DoctorG These small fixes are useful.

I have yet to see any need for the Dashboard. Just another hare-brained addition that makes a ton of work, while many important bugs and feature requests remain unaddressed after many years. Just a few of my pet bugs:

(VB-81477) Cheat Sheet Should Default to Collapsed (10/7/2021)
(VB-93590) Keyboard Settings Should Default to Collapsed (9/12/2022)
(VB-96359) Horizontal Menu Bar Does not Reach Top of Maximised Window (30/3/2023)
(VB-97070) Panel Toggle button is on Navigation Toolbar, but on Panel Toolbar Edit Dialog (27/4/2023)

Easy to Implement Feature Requests

[Quick Commands] Window becomes dim and unresponsive (VB-110262)

Nice this was reverted, now I can remove my CSS workaround

[Themes] Use custom icons in tab bar buttons (VB-110464)

This is actually a pretty significant change, if it works as I think. Does it mean we are allowed to change the Sync/Trash icons, and possibly also the New Tab button now?

Because I can't find these buttons in the theme button editor... are they supposed to be there?

[Windows] Document icons feature Chromium logo instead of Vivaldi (VB-110016)

Might be some bad feedback on this, depending on how ~~anal~~ concerned people are about their icons

DoctorG

@Pesala I can understand that you need them.
I find the bugs annoying and reduce of usability.

Feeds still broken for me - but I have developed a method to manually force a re-check:

settings > feeds > uncheck "Enable Mail, Calendar and Feeds"
close Vivaldi
open Vivaldi
settings > feeds > check "Enable Mail, Calendar and Feeds"
it will show "Database Error Detected"
click "Restore Feeds"
click "Update All Feeds"

DoctorG

@mossman Had this resolved the feeds issue?
Or was this only a tipp to show how to force database re-check?

This is only to manually update the feeds, it is not a fix.

I have to do this every couple of hours...

Another fine Friday Snapshot is here to make weekend more interesting!
Thanks @Ruarí & @Vivaldi Team!

Any chance for Weather widget? I know I can use a weather page in the Web App widget but it isn't as good as a built-in weather would be

Another wrinkle - I think the bug is time-related. I occasionally get a "new" article appear if it's published after I manually update... but the timestamp is always from a few minutes before that update.

Edit: I just got a bunch of genuinely new articles (right before end-of-week shutdown, of course! ). I will see if things are working when I come back to this work laptop on Monday...

[Dashboard] Change default webpage widget URL (VB-110487)

Why does it need to be there if we can't interact with it (not that I want to)?

[Dashboard][Feeds] All feeds look read (need difference unseen/unread/read)(VB-110496)
[Dashboard][Mail] No difference between Unseen/Seen (VB-110427)

This is a nice touch and makes things more consistent.

[Dashboard][Start page][Performance] Browser slows significantly with many open dashboard tabs (VB-110386)

Performance improvements are always welcome

[Search] New profiles are seeing “[NEW] Search engine” (VB-110459)

Would be nice if all search icons were saved. Long time bug too

[Start Page] Not displayed in Private Window (VB-110201)

Super necessary. Also affected the Boomarks panel.

[Themes] Use custom icons in tab bar buttons (VB-110464)

Sounds good, but I'm not seeing it

[Window controls] Buttons are wrong height (VB-110331)

Noticed this, small but nice to have it back to normal

BUG: Speed Dials manual sorting is not persistent. When you drag and drop Spead Dials on Speed Dial page. Noticed this couple snapshots ago.

The problem of Speed Dials not displaying in a Private Window has been fixed, too. Hurray!
