Vivaldi 7.2: Speedy and smart, a serious update.
-
this update has seemed to break my sync and no longer accepts the encryption keys i have saved. or maybe it's a coincidence.
-
I like the currency widget, but I would appreciate it if you could also convert other things in it like inches and centimeters.
-
I'm also not happy with the new address bar behavior. But my issues are in regards of the autocompletion (I don't really use the drop-down results much).
Autocompletion priority was changed in the past a couple of times, but at least there were ways to adjust it to the own preferences a little. Now that option is gone. Are there plans to add them again?My learned workflows don't work anymore, and I have to type a lot more to get to the sites I want. Usually, I only need two to three letters.
A very simple, concrete example: If I want to go to the mindfactory.de, I had to type mi. Now I have to type mindf.
Another thing: I usually go to the start-page of a site. Now, if I have a bookmark for it, I can't without modifying the autocompletion result, because it always wants to go to one of the bookmarks. -
@cobaltjt and others,
the Vivaldi team is working on the address bar but the time was to short to get all features back for Vivaldi 7.2, they had to release at some point.
I hope we get the fine adjustments back in minor updates over time independent on the bugs are fixed internally.Cheers, mib

@shion: I'm having the problem with "empty" Canvas too. If I switch to another application for some time, and then come back to Vivaldi, the canvas is empty (background color visible).

Does Vivaldi email incorporate Google mail effectively?

Means what?
GMail works with Vivaldi.

And why couldn't they keep it behind a flag as they did with other features in the past? There is no need to rush incomplete features out just because they have to release a new version.💻 Intel i3-6006U • 8 GB DDR4 • 256 GB SATA

In my experience, no. Had to oauth every time I restart the browser so I switched to using an app password for it.
And then there is the infuriating way gmail does labels and folders.

But you will have to disable a few options first. Namely "Prioritize Bookmarks" and "Direct match". After a short while, the addressbar should be able to give you the exact autocomplete match you are looking for most of the time. It just needs some time to learn.

Oauth works fine for me. But there used to be a bug at one point, which sounds like what you describe, that has been long fixed

No idea, I am not a member of the Vivaldi team.
As tester for other apps this is normal today, when was a Windows version ever not a beta version as published.
I don't like it too, Blender 3D was published when the bug tracker was < 100 open bugs, then 1000, then they give up.

Disabling "Prioritize Bookmarks" did the trick, thanks.
It would be nice to have these details in the blog posts. Would save a lot of frustration. At least some of my friends moved away from Vivaldi after a couple of address bar-autocompletion changes.
Or is it mentioned and I missed it? -
@mib2berlin
No offense, I didn't mean to attack you. Or the devs, by the way.I just don't think it's a good reference if other vendors do the same. (What MS does is outrageous.) I am always open to new ideas, my habits regarding how I use my computers changed a lot over the decades, but one thing is constant. I hate it when the developers break something I like the way it is, and patch it later, forcing me to adapt.

@Nekomajin
There is still vivaldi:experiments, it gets removed in 7.3.
You follow the forum and there are some fixes already not published, if a new snapshot appears revert and test.
I test the address bar all the time even I don't really use it.
-
@mib2berlin
Sorry, but I'd like to use the browser not test it. All my respect to you, but I am not a tester. I won't restart the browser after every release and I don't follow all the minor fixes because I don't have time for it. Breaking the address field broke my work flow, so I spend time here hoping the devs will hear my voice among the others'. -

I have my own GMail account on three Vivaldi machines, no problem. I have set up my wife's two GMail accounts on two machines... also no problem.
I don't want to discount your personal experience but I think it's far, far from normal. GMail works fine with Vivaldi.

How can the yellow "sync problem" be fixed? Any news? Updates from the devs? Anything?
-
Disabling history display in the address bar causes an unintended option to appear, which redirects to http://SEARCH_TEXT. The same issue occurs on a new profile.
