Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10
-
@dLeon I don't know how exactly it was implemented in Opera 12, but using the quick download field sometimes worked better than clicking on a link or using the address field. Specifically, it would do a no-nonsense download similar to how wget does where it would just download the file without doing file extension renaming based on mime type etc. Vivaldi doesn't have all the mime type settings like Opera 12 did, so this might not make a difference for Vivaldi though. But, it was a bonus for Opera 12.

an Option to disable Tab Stacking
a new option to disable tab stacking (completely).
if more than a dozen tabs are open, its nearly impossible to move a tab, without it merges with another tab.for heavy researches vivaldi is not usable
You already have this option! In Settings> Tabs> Stacking.
-
an Option to display the Tab Bar in multiple rows
a new option to display the Tab Bar in multiple rows, like much firefox addons can.
the Tab Bar at the moment can only be changed to, above, bottom, left, right.

@JuniorSilva30
genious! i didnt know that.
i disabled it and totally happy!so i missed a changelog entry :-p vivaldi is to fast in making changes
(i had fear, that vivaldi woulnt do that option, because in the last few presto-opera versions, it was never possible and thats why i used back then, still a much older version)

The ability to search history either by pages containing my words OR by Regex.
Right now I can only search history properly ONLY IF I know the right sequence of words, for example searching for this page is supposed to be like 'feature requests 1.9' and I can't search for pages in history like 'feature 1.9' or 'requests 1.10' and expect Vivaldi to find "Feature Requests 1.9/1.10".
Most of the time we only have some vague memories of the name of the pages we have visited before and this feature helps really well in finding those hard to find pages...

It would be nice if there was an icon to pin open the find dialog so it would stay open with the same words in the input field when you switch to a different tab. This would be very helpful when you're searching a large number of tabs for the same words instead of having to open it for each one.
The F3 keyboard shortcut is what you're looking for, I think.

@Tiamarth An option which lets you choose which webpanel - after what time of inactivity - should unload would be better. So if there are panels I visit every 20 minutes I'd like them already loaded.

@opera6rules
I really miss this feature too! -
@RammsteinAM
I would rather go for the possibility to customize menus entirely in the settings. Requested already i the forum elsewhere. -
Guest profile for better user data protection
I know only one browser with this feature - Maxthon. In a nutshell if you don't use auto login, you have browser protected via password. It means that you will see your passwords, notes, bookmarks and other settings if you enter your password only. Other users can work in browser, but in guest profile with own settings. No one can see user data from guest profile.
Many MX users don't notice this, but this is really useful and they understand it if change browser only. And this is the only way to protect your browser what I know. Many people ask about this.
Other browsers protect user data only online. But if you work on one PC with somebody else no one key (like in new Opera) can not save you from other people's eyes. Because your data is here already and your partner / neighbor / wife can see your browseing histore, read your notes and use your passwords.

The ability to sync settings across multiple computers.
-
@paecificjr: in progress.
-
@zaibon That's what I was attempting to describe in my first comment with "after a certain period of time."
But you did a much better job at clarifying.

@Mattonius I have also thought about this. I don't understand why this feature missing in Vivaldi if Chromium already has it in the tab context menu.
There is also a problem when user choose Tab Muting > "Play Only in Active Tab" or "Prioritize Active Tab". The background tabs which start playing audio, are audible for very short time (less than 1 second) before they will be automatically muted by Vivaldi. In some cases this is really annoying, because some pages play very short sounds (like notification sounds) and for such cases this feature in Vivaldi is almost useless.
If Chromium allows to mute tabs before they'll play a sound, why Vivaldi does not mute previously all background tabs when "Play Only in Active Tab" is selected?

@julioc1984 Wow good job, it's awesome.
-
@Semenov-Sherin,
I think you can read this topic, there is a way how to create your own profile and leave default one for guests. -

Thanks, but no, the F3 key cycles to the next match on the current page. What I'm asking for is a way for the find dialog to stay open when switching to another tab.
-
@Blueridge What difference would it make?
As it is, after switching to the next tab, you have to press F3, which searches the next tab for the same word. If the Find Toolbar was already open, you will still need to press F3 to find the next occurrence of the search string.

@Boombastic What is the improvement? The left one (before) is much easier to read!
-
@MVV_, yea. But I talk about password protection.
