@samaire Sorry for you that it failed. Now we can only try a special rescue procedure. Perhaps this https://github.com/bdesham/chrome-export and the python script may help to export the broken Bookamarks file: Untested: Download the script to export bookmaks from https://github.com/bdesham/chrome-export/raw/master/export-chrome-bookmarks Save file as exportbookmarks.py in a folder of your choice for example D:\TEST\ Download Python and install Start Command line Hit Win+R type cmd.exe hit Return Run this command to convert: Copy the following line but change the paths by hand to the correct ones python D:\TEST\exportbookmarks.py D:\TEST\Bookmarks D:\TEST\Bookmarks_exported.html Hit Ctrl+C Paste it in command line window with Shift+Ins Hit Return Please feel free to ask in case of any questions.

@anita-johnson said in Question about sync.: I feel so insecure syncing while not knowing if stuff and whatt stuff is going to be copied or erased... There are help articles which you fight find useful - https://help.vivaldi.com/article/sync/ https://help.vivaldi.com/article/android-sync/ https://help.vivaldi.com/article/troubleshoot-sync-issues/

There's another alternative to accessing a specific bookmark: If you assign nicknames for your frequently used bookmarks, you can open them by typing the nickname on the Address Bar and the bookmark will show up as the top result. You can add nicknames in the Bookmarks Panel by editing each bookmark.

@Pathduck Mine are all in order. They have respected the order from the source that provided them to sync.

@Pesala I agree that Options can get out of control and I suspect developers are cautious and hesitant to add more without careful consideration. I don't blame them for that. My background is in software development and I assure you the time it would take to add what's necessary in Options along with its implementation would take little time (easily less than an hour). User editing and customization of menu contents is easily days and more like weeks of development. But the decision to give the go-ahead can be a hurdle and that can be a very healthy thing.

The previews are not synced by Vivaldi Sync. That feature needs to be implemented.

@Pesala On the flip side you could say that the reason all other browsers do this exactly the opposite way (new bookmarks go to the bottom) is that it's natural for most users to have arranged the 'most' used bookmarks on top. So, if every single new bookmark moves ALL other bookmarks down, that just makes things too tedious for the user to keep their favorite bookmarks on top. The default 'should' be at the bottom so that every new bookmark doesn't disturb the entire bookmark folder. The reason you stated IMO doesn't make a whole lot of sense for the above reason, and this just seems like something that got overlooked by the devs. If they make this an option, it would be ideal.

We have speed dial, bookmarks, bookmark bar and web panels. I think we have plenty of places available already.

The "grey window" was from the same profile (actually I only have 1 - I created another to try some time ago, but have never used it). I am referring to the "Bookmarks Bar", which I can toggle on/off from the "View" Menu. Now, when I access through the "Bookmarks" Menu the "Bookmarks Toolbar" seems to have my new bookmarks, but the "Bookmarks Bar" does not. I had always assumed these were the same; in the past editing "Manage Bookmarks" has changed the "Bookmarks Bar", but they seem to be different entities. Ideally I would like the "Bookmarks Bar", which I use the be the same I manage with "Manage Bookmarks". PS Just checked the Preferences, and the "Bookmarks Bar" was set to "Bookmarks Toolbar" . I toggled through a couple of other settings, then back to "Bookmarks Toolbar", which seemed to resolve the issue.

@LonM Yes, I am talking about different profiles. Unfortunately, import/export bookmarks does not work well since it has no function to select individual (specific) bookmarks and folders. For example, I want to move all YouTube bookmarks to another profile without touching other bookmarks.

@Pesala Actually, there is an easier way to do this: http://countingcharacters.com/youtube-thumbnail-downloader The problem is that I have to check EACH video (I have several hundreds of them ＼(º □ º l|l)/) before assigning a thumbnail to it. Earlier, Vivaldi was able to create YouTube thumbnails automatically by pressing 'f5' but now this function no longer exists.

ich muss übrigens noch dazufügen, dass ein Reload der Vorschau nicht hilft, der Reloadpfeil dreht sich ewig weiter. Ein Aufrufen und erneuten Abspeichern behebt aber den Fehler. Ich würde es ja melden, wenn ich es reproduzieren könnte Ich sehe grade, dass der Screenshot doch stimmt, das war gestern definitiv nicht der Fall. Ob es am Browserneustart oder dem Browserupdate auf 2.6.1566.6 geschuldet ist, kann ich nicht sagen

Oh, alright, although a bit strange, but it seems to be an alternative method, thank you....

@Gwen-Dragon said in history "hacked by Vivaldi" - adds commercial sites: Check if you have such site in your bookmarks! Bookmarks are suggested depending on your settings. No, such bookmark is not hardcoded.
