Snapshot 1.0.430.3 - Mouse gestures for Fast Forward and Rewind
-
How come you can open 100 tabs with sessions and even with bookmarks in other ways? Its interesting you mention this as a feature when its actually a limitation and for people with missing tabs it's a bug since they are missing things now. If it was a feature, why is it not implemented browser wide? And why is there no warning?
If I make a feature to delete files in your computer so your drive does not fill up would you call that a feature or a bug?
People may not notice that not all their bookmarks are open, they are missing with no warning, for them it's a bug, since the browser is not informing them that its not opening all the bookmarks inside that exist inside the folder, so its not actually doing what people expect it to do.
Imagine the following:
In your computer file manager (Windows Explorer or what ever OS you use) you select all files in a folder and hit open, then it only opens 20. Would you say that is a feature when you actually hit Select All? Every time it will only open 20, even if you select all of them. That is a bug !!!

lets face it as it is. It's NOT a bug as far as it's intended by developers. It's a FEATURE (though, it's badly coded one which we do not like as it is now)
but still. It's a 'badly designed feature' not a bug.So in your computer if you select 100 files to open at once and it only opens 20, it's a feature, not a bug. Gotcha !!!
I'm pretty sure 99.99% of people would say that is a bug, in particular when you expect it to open all of them and there is no warning. If I tell my computer to do something and it does not and does not tell me why, it's a bug.
Not to mention that I can open 100 or more tabs with Vivaldi in several other ways and there is no 20 limitation anywhere else, so that seems like a strange feature when its only implemented with 1 single specific action like Middle Click.
Imagine if you have 21 bookmarks. And now you always assume its opening all of them when its actually missing 1 every single time for months. Most people will not notice this, so it's a bug.

this site doesn't stop of loading for a long time
–-------On my old two core, slow IP it loaded in about 10 seconds, with Ublock orgin on. 17 domains ( quite a few) and 12% blocked, could be just the site.

There is a specific definition for the term "bug." And that is, not operating the way the designers or builders intended it to operate. So, "call it what you will," or call it by the proper terms. Your choice.
-
lets face it as it is. It's NOT a bug as far as it's intended by developers..
Let's face it, the developers overlooked the fact that opening a folder of bookmarks does not open them all. If you selected ten bookmarks, right-clicked, and selected "Open" you would agree that it is a bug if only five of them opened, would you not?
If you go to the trouble of selecting 40 bookmarks in a folder, right-click, and open, they all open.
-
The "call them what you want" it is resignation, for me it is a bug, for you is a feature, and apparently the thing does not change.
Read the examples from "terere" in messages above, for me to give an idea of why we consider this a bug. -
Per the developers themselves, they did not overlook it. They programmed the limitation in, intentionally. They do not want users opening 100 bookmarks merely by middle-clicking on a folder. Now if you would like them to change that conscious choice, then by all means discuss that with them. But the way it works is exactly the way they intended it to work. It is not unexpected or overlooked.

Yeah - speaking of mouse gesture (down-up), that's a FOURTH way to open background tabs in Vivaldi. Will the madness never end? :shock:
-
Good question. I tried to find them and could not.
-
The "no close-tab button" bug seems to have gone! Thank you!
Before one snapshot ago, hovering the mouse cursor on the tab hadn't always shown the "x" button. Since the last snapshot, the "x" button always appears. Mac OS 10.11.4 .

there is no warning.I agree. Vivaldi should at least tell the user that it's opening only the first 20 out of those you have selected.
In such a case as this, whether it should be called a "bug" or not is a matter of definition and isn't very useful to debate on. What's useful is whether the particular design is good or bad.
-
thanks!
feedly notifier extension doesnt works -
Interesting. I'm going to have to watch for this. Not only does the bug seem to have disappeared, but additionally there seems to be zero delay getting the "close" button on hover, now. If i find that the "close" button fails to appear in the next day or two, I will comment again.

Password wrong term not specific enough SEE ABOVE ON THIS.
Created new post when I used TAB instead of space in message above. Blog immediately created new: "This post", deleted part of it as it was same as above. Must be blog error.
-
Password wrong term not specific enough
It is in:
Settings>privacy>Passwords
Website: Account Name
The Account Names and websites appear then disappear and I can't log on when it isn't there with all my Websites. Then I have to EXIT out of Vivaldi and when I re-load it they are there again. Makes no rhyme or reason.
PS: When I used TAB on this post instead of space it went to bottom and started a new one. Didn't realize til I came back and saw this. Error on blog I guess.

They did intentionally program in that limitation, but they overlooked that they failed to give a warning about the unexpected behaviour. If the folder contains 10 bookmarks the all open, if it contains 20, they all open, if it contains 21 they do not, and there is no warning that the 21st bookmark was not opened. That is the bug.
They also apparently overlooked the case where a users selects more than 20 bookmarks. If they are concerned about overloading Vivaldi, they should also have allowed for that case, not just the special case of opening a folder containing more than 20 bookmarks.
You can argue until the cows come home that it's not a bug, but that's only true if you accept a strict and narrow definition of the term.
-
Maybe they've planned to add a setting for the limit. Maybe it works internally as it should. There's still a lot of things that are not user customizable, but are working. Do mouse gestures count as a bug since they're not customizable yet? Come on, this isn't a final release, things like this are expected to exist at this point.
-
Not being able to customize the mouse gestures do not consider it a bug, but a lack. It does not involve browser malfunctions.
Click on a folder with the middle button convinced to open all the bookmarks contained in it, but in reality, only 20 open is a bug. And then what are they chosen? The first 20? The last 20? The 20 in between? It is unknown, they are opened at random, or better, perhaps there is a logical, but i do not understand. So every time i go to search for bookmarks that are missing? For me this is and remains a bug.That at this stage of development there are still incomplete things is there's not the problem. You're just asking to fix it.
The problem arose from the fact that i, i defined it as a bug, while for others it is a feature.

Vivaldi is still non-usable since 1.418 (at least). The TAB key does not work, at all, it is as if it does not exist as far as I can tell. In text fields, like the one I am writing this, the numeric keys ("1", "2", …) change tabs instead of writing "1", or "2". Removing most of the keyboard usability absolute kills it, and it is not as making the keys work is a super-duper-feature, it is just about the most expected thing to have. I am stuck on version 1.403...

I just noticed that VB-13726 (Space on YouTube fullscreen video activates Fast Forward instead of pause) that was fixed in the previous snapshot is back in this one. Except now it only happens if you went to the video via a link from some other site and only the first time you go fullscreen. Slackware64 14.1.
