Interesting weekend snapshot

Had a couple Command Chains that would choose a particular search engine. Used these for right click on selected text menu. Using Stable channel update the engines were switched to DuckDuck. Easy to fix, but took me a few minutes to figure out what was going amuck

My Search Engine listing in Settings looked okay yet...

[iPristy]

Password export it appears to work now, not much to report from my end.

I will try out DuckDuckGo, it knows my lang. and local searching output looks good.

[Ruarí]

@lfisk: are you saying that with the update to the stable version of this stream you had your search engines changed without being asked? … because that should not happen!

[lfisk]

@Ruarí No, much stranger than that
These two Chains were switched to DuckDuck rather than what you see now. I use them by selecting text and then I have them entered in the PopUp Menu for right click on selected text.

[Ruarí]

Did you perhaps change in the snapshot version and have sync enabled?

[lfisk]

@Ruarí I don't use Sync and I've never loaded/run Snapshots. This was the offering here (RC1) Stable channel.

Edit: I'm running Debian12 and loaded it like an Update via Synaptic.

Hi,
Have a look at

[Ruarí]

Has anyone here seen the prompt to switch search engines?

[Pardus]

[Folgore101]

@Ruarí No but i use Ecosia, maybe that's why?

[Ruarí]

@Folgore101 That is why

Hello,

I had to reinstall the OS fresh and for some reason I cannot get Vivaldi to show native notifications again. The flag vivaldi:flags/#enable-native-notifications is gone too. It also does not appear in Win11's Notifications at all (Brave does, for example).

All I get is these old school notifs:

Any idea how to fix it back? Thank you!

[DoctorG]

@t0yz I remember that happened for me on 7.1 RC 1 with Standalone install.

[t0yz]

@DoctorG Yeah I vaguely remember that too. However, this is a Program Files, for all users install on a fresh Windows 11 OS install too. Tried reinstalling over it again and notifs are still the old style. The app is not registering in the Windows notifications for some reason, missing from that list.

[DoctorG]

@t0yz I think you need to delete some entries in Windows Registry.

1. Delete for each Windows user having the notification issue the values of key Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Vivaldi\ToastActivatorCLSID
2. Delete Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Vivaldi\ToastActivatorCLSID
3. Reinstall the 7.x with Advanced option For All Users

[t0yz]

@DoctorG Sorry, didn't work
Got recreated, and it's in a different place for me too

[DoctorG]

@t0yz Seems to be this known bug:
VB-94343 "Native Windows Notifications do not work with an all user install" – Confirmed, dev assigned.
