V7 | Downloads Removed Automatic (1) Addition

mib2berlin

@jazzie64
Hi, this is a new feature/fix, many user complain about the (1) adding if you download the same image.
If you disable "Without Asking" as @mikeyb2001 mentioned a popup open and you can change the file name as you like.
I'm afraid you can't get back to the old behavior.

Cheers, mib

Your feature/fix is a regression for me. Seriously, what kind of person complains about this?

This isn't the first time Vivaldi has "fixed" something that didn't need to be fixed.

@LunaSterling i only used this browser since last year and i had a great run with it until this update. the tab thing was easily fixable so i didnt really care about that.
but the image thing is gonna get on my nerves because i save a lot of images. you'd think it'd still be an option or something $:\$ guess not. otherwise this browser would be perfect. oh well

I translated.
We are currently moving forward with adding an option for this feature, as we have received similar requests. (何件か同内容の要望・意見をいただいているため、オプションを設ける方向で現在動いています。)

This is a bit of a nothing burger.

Who wants images named:

4U7FT65XPdQyaFZJ.png
4U7FT65XPdQyaFZJ (1).png etc.?

Just type a meaningful name in the download dialog:
LunaSterlingAvatar.png (or whatever) and organise your downloaded files as you go instead of having a separate task where you need to tidy up and rename a whole bunch of files with different suffixes.

@jazzie64 As you has used Save As… the filename appears also in Download Panel.
Selecting of the entry and hit Restart button in header of panel will adds a increasing (number) to the file when you redo the download.

@Pesala Some people find this behaviour useful. It's not a "nothing burger" to them. Why do you object to having it as an option so that people can decide for themselves?

Just imagine the situation when you like to save pics/videos from the concrete forum/site. They all have names like v2_X_Y.mp4, where X & Y are the width & height of a pic/video. Now you have to manually invent a unique file each time the same video resolution already exists in the download folder. The old behaviour is much more preferrable.

Just type a meaningful name in the download dialog:

I don't want to give them 'meaningful' names, I just want to quickly save 20 files without entering any names and without the risk of overriding files with the same names. Then, when I have some spare time, I'll sort all of them out.

@ghazan We have all our use cases where the new Save As… behaviour is wrong and right.

If you think feature to re-enable old numbering in Settings → Downloads is useful, please read Request New Feature, open forum Feature Requests and post request.

Ok, I will.

@DoctorG - I've added a feature request here

@nissemus @mib2berlin @jazzie64 you're welcome to vote for it (sorry if I missed somebody)

WMBR, George Hazan.

DoctorG

@ghazan I voted.

I can explain a case where it's preferable to have an automatic (number) when the file exists: I often downloaded some images where 2 had the same name by mistake from the author, so automatically overwriting it, it would have removed the first one, while with the (1) added I could keep both images.
There are cases where it's convenient to have, other cases where it's not, so leave it as an option to switch whenever one needs it.

DoctorG

Would be easier for some users if there were modifierkey+mouselick on media to save directly (without a Save popup) in Download Panel, that would result in numbered filenames.

i remember (right or wrong, who knows) something similar was in very old Opera Presto decades ago.

Pesala

@DoctorG Yes Ctrl+Click on Images to Save Them is the default behaviour in Opera 12.18. It brings up a save dialogue where one can choose the folder or change the name. It does not add a numbered suffix to duplicate file names.

LunaSterling

In Chrome and Edge:, save image as: image.jpg.
Try to save same image: image (1).jpg

Ok, that's nice. I already saved that image. Move on.

In Vivaldi: Save image as: image.jpg.
Try to save same image: image.jpg.
Would you like to replace image.jpg?
God fucking damn it Vivaldi!

Might be a nothing burger, but also an unnecessary frustration derived of a misguided sense of being different, instead of consistent.
