Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10

Sticky Cookies
I would like an easy way to mark a bunch of cookies as keepers (preferably by selecting a bunch at once and marking them as a group). I want to be able to delete all cookies except these to get rid of ad tracking, etc., without losing settings on websites that are useful.
I've asked about this before and I know there's a way to manually go through one by one. I don't remember the exact details, but it was really labor intensive.
I thought about finding the cookies file and just replacing it with a backup, but that won't work because a current cookie might have newer data in it which would be lost by replacing it with an older version.

@pafflick said in Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10:
Option to always revert to the default search engine in the Search Field
-
@Waldi22 It's literally the third request on this list...
-
It would be nice to have an easy way to rotate a picture directly on the website.

@luciothiago hmmm very interesting, good idea!

More flexible tab muting
So, in tab muting, I can mute all but the active tab.
I'd like more flexible muting, like blacklisting and whitelisting tabs for mute.For instance, I'd like to blacklist a website I read that autoplays what I can only charitably call background noise -- I'd like that website always muted even if it is the active tab.
Similarly, I'd like to whitelist specific tabs so that they always play even when they are in the background and I have "play only active tab" set. For instance pandora (which should always play, but be lower priority than the active tab), or another site that sends occasional audio alerts so it should have priority over the active tab.

@pafflick - upvoted your request. Also upvoted reequest for better feature request tools!

Add Print Selection to the Vivaldi Print dialog
I use this all the time and have to use Ctrl+Shift+P to get to the system print dialog which has this option. -
Possibility to protect all or individual 'Notes' with password.
Save 'Notes' in encrypted format rather in plain JSON format in ./config/Vivaldi/Default/Notes. -
Request:
With tabs on left or right panel, resizing the panel only resizes it for that window, not all windows.(Currently, it will resize it for all windows, which I don't see a way to disable -- very annoying if you have a video playing in one window and it keeps resizing…)
-
@Pesala As long as it's like chrome's drag-along style rather than an Firefox Australis-like clunky interface!
-
Add option to disable the "This type of file can harm your computer" warning for downloads.

@dLeon Thanks, that works. I would never have thought to try it. It would still be "nice" to have it in the Print dialog where it isn't a "hidden" feature.
The first time I tried this, I happened to right click on the image you included in this post. That context menu does not include Print. Luckily, I tried it again and clicked on your text - where it does work. While this behavior makes sense, it does argue for having the option on the Print dialog where it will always be visible and will just work.
Since your text and the image were both selected when I right clicked on the image in the selection, this might be a bug in Vivaldi.
-
@dLeon There's an additional side effect of this. If you just select a picture, you can't Print it as a selection. That's counterintuitive.
You can click on the picture which opens it in another tab. Then you can print it, but that seems to be unnecessarily complicated.
-
@luciothiago -- For some people yes, but certainly not for everyone. Personally i intensely dislike that, & absolutely want to continue having site thumbnails for my speeddials. Hence, as with most else in the V philosophy, options are the key.

Additional Setting: Restore pinned tabs on startup
Previously this functionality was available in startup settings when ticking "Always load pinned tabs". It stopped working during the 1.8 snapshots/stable release and continues to be dysfunctional in 1.9. It turns out that it was never meant to work this way, but most people used it to save tabs for restart nevertheless. Would be nice to get it as additional setting, since this functionality is missing now, and users are complaining about it / are confused.

On the Start page:
"Start" - "Bookmarks" - "History" - ("DOWNLOADS" should be here also, using more screen real estate, not just that smaller side panel that inevitably truncates the links from vision). -
TILE as Opera 12x used to tile tabs.
How? In Opera 12 you just clicked on the "tile" button provided and ALL TABS in that window would automatically tile, without the need for selecting anything. What's more, all tiled tabs could easily be maximized by double clicking on their tab title. -
I would like a built-in Autofill for filling in on-line forms. There is one extension that has the right idea, but it doesn't work perfectly on Vivaldi. Either that, or have the Autofill extension work seamlessly. Here is a link to the extension:
