@pafflick said in Question (to moderators / V-team) about image upload on forum: Background: I'm thinking about uploading Speed Dial thumbs here. But I have no idea if I should keep them in external sharing service or not... Question: Are you planning to use them in your browser(s) or do you want to just share them with others? For sharing purposes ofc @pafflick said in Question (to moderators / V-team) about image upload on forum: Does anyone consider creating dedicated section or service to share custom thumbnails? Service => I think about storing/serving default speed dial thumbs with logos for example?... Some companies do things like that. Would that suppose to be some kind of an official repository or just a website with user-shared content? With the former, there would be some obvious limitations - with the latter, there would be a high risk of copyright infringement (or similar violations). I don't think we'll ever see any of these, although I wouldn't mind being proven wrong about it... [Treat this as loud thinking] IMO sharing thumbs is nice but we need some better way to handle it. About copyright => what it there was an option "if your company wants to store logo in our repository, contact us" / a button to search for logo? I dunno... Or maybe just make it possible to download "default" thumbnail for cetrain URL to "local reposiory" by clicking special link?...

@notorious Yeah. Vivaldi doesn't use native Windows elements to build the UI. That would make development take five to ten times as long.

This is the solutions exactly I was looking for. Thanks! For others interested in similar navigation: Enable thumbnails via F2 and "Tab Thumbnails". Then the shortcut settings from @Pesala answer to hide/unhide tabs. And since thumbnails are enabled, tabs will apear with their thumbnails when you press your shortcut.

@carson911 said in Please allow tab-preview-on-hover to be bigger: I have a better idea, it would be much better to independently scale the preview hover size, especially for many grouped tabs, because in my case (1366x768 resolution) with more than 18 tabs, they occupy the entire screen, making it difficult to navigate, but with more than 24 tabs, not all fit on the screen and it would be good to reduce their size, or allow them to scroll on the side so that they do not occupy the entire screen, such a solution existed in Opera 12. I very much agree. Here is my Feature Request: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/211999

I treat them as one in the same. I have a many, many speed dials. I'll swap one folder to another to make it my speed dial page. I would take any option, but this seemed like it would be simple to implement anyway since the mechanism is mostly there, just needs another option beyond saving to a file and copy paste.

Hi everyone, Yes, I know about custom thumbnails. My basic thought is that it would be a nice convenience to be able to just take advantage of the thumbnails already being created dynamically by Vivaldi for SpeedDial -- by offering an option to automatically turn them into "custom" (or maybe let's call them "more permanent") thumbnails. Not only would this solve the problem that custom thumbnails already solve, but also, and perhaps more importantly, it means you can avoid having to go through the manual process of capturing (areas on) pages and then assigning them to your SpeedDial bookmarks, a task which might be fun for some who want to be creative, but also possibly tedious for others who just want to organize their SpeedDial arrangement.

I've figured out that root folder for file_mapping.json is same as for the "Out of Box" thumbs. Looks also like path traversal is forbidden... The only posibility to make thumbnails more flexible that comes to my mind is creating hardlinks between folders...

Would be useful. Pretty "extreme" example. Any chrome:// page as stacked tabs (40+). Window may be a little smaller (red crosses) to avoid too much overflows - especially on top; A scrollbar should be present to navigate between the thumbs; Window could be resizable (if possible).

@ouroboros4545 Oh. Sorry it's not very helpful to u. Then Vote +1!

@Ayespy I think that the small thumbnails are not more effective than the favicon you already see on the tab: at first glance, I only guess the website, but don't differentiate the content if 2 tabs look like each other. Moreover, they are slower to use than the favicon (need to hover the mouse on the tab and wait for a predefined amount of time). So I don't get the real use case of these thumbnails. But anyway, I agree this is personal point of view, and that some other people like you are happy with the current status. I would just like this kind of feature (bigger preview) to be an existing option. (And a mix with thumbnails for tab stacks, as explained here-upper)

Thumbs should be stored in database or even zip file instead of independent files. Current implementation makes custom thumbs unusable feature because - as You said - setting up manually 20-50 thumbs across 5 computers is pure waste of time.

@raystanz said in Set Size for Tab Previews in Tab Stacks: When you hover your mouse over a tab, you will see a little popup with a preview of the underlying webpage. It would be cool if the height of this little popup could be adjusted, so they won't take up so much space when you hover over a tabstack with a lot of tabs. I agree! It would be nice to have a 'size' setting in the options menu that controls the thumnail size for the Tab Stack preview. I think that they are way too big right now. If I had the option I'd decrease the size to 50% or even less
