Snapshot 1.0.174.8-1 Startup settings and tab-switching performance
-
hopefully they are just waiting for a bigger user base to get better contract with google
(AFAIK Google pays for this) -
I don't see what's "crucial" about a tab's position compared to missing features like sync, mail and private windows, but it is known and will come eventually.
-
For me, The crucial part shows itself when there's already a lot of tabs open (more than 40) and you can't find a specific tab just by looking at the titles…
If we have an option to open a tab next to its parent, then even when there's a lot of tabs present, we can safely find the border between different domains because the tabs tend to group and stay together...
BUT the important things is "In a Domain Group, new tabs should always open at the end of the group". notice that it shouldn't open at the end of the tab list But at the end of the Domain Group list.
Thanks Christoph… Your sensitivity towards Sync, Mail and Private Tabs (Not Windows ! Please Not Windows !) gives me hope !
-
Private windows will probably come first. But tabs are planned as well.
-
AFAIK you are "just" a tester but if you can change it in some way (or if some who can change it will read it) - do not bother to implement private windows before private tabs. People would eat you alive because of that
just wait a bit and deliver both at the same time

Not work Wunderlist.com. When you click in the Add Task - page is updated. You can not write anything in text field new task.

That's not going to happen. We want to share stuff with you as soon as it's ready. There's no reason to hold stuff back…

Actually there are plenty of reasons to hold back, there are a lot of things that don't work and/or don't work correctly.
Piling on more features when the base is still… 'unstable' is like building a layer cake upside down with the new, larger, layers all using different frosting and smooshing the poor little undersized and underdeveloped base. How would you even begin to troubleshoot something like that?
Vivaldi is free so sacking a bunch of unpaid bakers would be pointless and silly. (laughing) Try to finish the base of the browser, then pile on as you like!

Exactly! 1! 1111 Wun1!
While I do love cake batter, personally (I'm really trying to avoid terms like, "half-baked" because Vivaldi is really pretty darn solid even now) just drop a new feature or two on top of an unfinished base, then try to separate them when the new layer sinks into the base and the two essentially become one nicely iced GUI browser. Mmm! :roll:

Suggestion: Save TabStack as SpeedDial folder.
Has this been asked for previously?
-
I said "as soon as it's ready".
It doesn't make sense to delay private windows for private tabs. We're not throwing out everything. Otherwise you would e.g. see the mail client already… -
Save stack as bookmark folder has been asked for. This should cater for your use case, too.
-
as I said… wait and see
people will understand in general but some will not and will eat you alive for that even a few of them is enough to spam some bad thoughts about Vivaldi. -
Excellent!

Thanks, Chris, that's good to know!
When the latest Vivaldi Technical Preview and Developer snapshot were being released I was upgrading the Operating System on my machine from XP Pro sp3 x86 to Win7 x64 sp1 because Chrome/Vivaldi doesn't support DirectX 9c, the last version of DirectX for Windows XP. According to the report from the vivaldi://gpu page, the entire browser video subsystem was running in software emulation mode with all of the hardware acceleration and a couple of Gigabyes of video memory left standing in the corner all by itself, sulking. The most impressive thing about its performance was that it worked.
I don't use mouse gestures so I have no idea how they work but you do know that eventually someone will have to TYPE something with a mail client and Vivaldi's keyboard handling is still lagging behind a certain vocal segment of the audience, "Oh! Oh! Stack more tabs into a single tab that's almost indistinguishable from other tabs with a reverse mouse gesture-doublebackflip and make it do the purple rainbow swirly hummer thing again please please please!" Right now, the stacked tabs are useful if you already know what's in them, sort of like a certain OS Search engine that finds files for you if you already know the name and location of the files you want to find.
Yes, gestures are important for using a browser with a tablet or mobile phone with a touchscreen and some reasonable facsimile of a rudimentary text input simulator and it's probably really handy if you want to use Vivaldi from your couch to watch YouTube videos all day or control your home entertainment center from a research outpost in Antarctica with your iPad/Phone/Player but right now, using Vivaldi with an actual keyboard is sort of nostalgic.
In certain text input modes it's like using a Vivaldi terminal emulator over a dial-up connection with a 300 baud modem and no error correction for a full-duplex session between Lompoc and Botswanavax with local-echo OFF. Bring on the mail client… :shock:
For the multimedia gesture stackers: the HTML5 media player works flawlessly with YouTube and other sites until the GUI disappears in a flash -- but no puff of magic purple smoke, thank you! That has left as many as ten separate Vivaldi processes running with no UI and the now-uncontrollable player keeps playing, naturally, but Vivaldi will not restart until all of it's former processes have been swept out of the Task Manager by hand.

Nice job with 1.0.178.2! One note: pinned tabs should not go away when Starting page is set to "Specific pages". I.e. If a page is declared as a Startup page, on Vivaldi start-up that page should show up ALONG WITH a previously pinned tab. (Otherwise what's the point of pinned tabs.)
-
This build's install (update) ran on and on (twice), so I had to manually stop it. But when I tried the last build, it turns out to have actually installed.
I note that it still opens to the last seen page. What's the point of a home page?
