V7 | Downloads Removed Automatic (1) Addition

[jazzie64]

right click saving images doesnt automatically put a (1) if its aready saved

usually if i had a folder and i had an image with the same name as the one im about to download, it would append a number at the end in parentheses. but now they won't for some reason? might be a windows issue. also the right click context menu is smaller. is there a way to set it back to default. i have the compact thing on but thats only because i want to have the old tabs back. thanks

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.

@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.

@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.
