Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10

@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:

@gaelle Tab Mix Plus type capabilities for Vivaldi.

Drag and drop text into tabs panel to search or follow link
On Firefox, I can select text and drag it to the tabs panel (on the right side of the tabs) and it Firefox makes a search with it. If I drag a link, Firefox follows the link. This is a small feature I would like to have on Vivaldi, because it makes it easier when searching something.
-
Improved search providers support.
I came from Firefox. There, I use search providers everyday as if they were commands, by using their aliases. On Vivaldi I can have the same features, but I can't add any search provider (at least what I know of). I would like to add any search provider like the ones you can pick on MyCroftProject; so I could use commands like "t anyword" to translate it on google translator to my language, get definitions of words on my favorite local dictionaries, or use sites that don't support OpenSearch by default.
-
@aderitobonito A rather pointless feature, since the context menu already allows you to search with any installed search engine more easily than dragging selected text all the way to the Tab Bar.

Password management
Something that is extremely important to me and that's not letting me make Vivaldi my primary browser yet is password storage and management. I feel the need to have total control on my passwords, to edit them site by site and to keep them safe. So, I would like to see a feature on Vivaldi, in which I would be able to save my passwords, manage them as I wish and lock any access to them with a master password.

Go to the web site, right-click in it's search field, and add the search engine.

I think this feature has not been requested yet ...
Ability to rename tabs, we can rename a stack, it would be nice to be able to rename only one tab.
The Tab Mix Plux extension gives this capability to Firefox for example.
-
@Seasonly
I would suggest this feature too. In my case, I'm used to use double click on a link to open it in a new tab, on Firefox. I could use the middle button, but I don't find it comfortable and I would like to be able to customize the browser to do just that. -
@Pesala
It is not something really important, it's more a preference. On my case, I find it easier to just drag and drop, since I can do it a lot faster than opening the context menu. But still, it's not really important, it's just an idea of a small detail. I like to just drag and drop things, like dragging a link to my favorites or dragging text from a site to another site's form. -
@dLeon
Yes, I meant OpenSearch. Right now, what I do to add a new search engine is right-clicking on the search field of a site, but not every site supports this. OpenSearch would be great on Vivaldi. -
@aderitobonito It's accessible via this link (it may change in the future as Vivaldi adapts more chromium features): vivaldi://chrome/settings/passwords
BTW. Passwords in Chromium are protected (as a matter of fact they're encrypted) using your unique user account data. To view them, you have to input your user account password (at least that's how it works on Windows). -
Per-site cookies mangement (like Self Destructive Cookies)
I don't know if Vivaldi already have some feature similar to that, but there is a Firefox extension I use which I find indispensable on my daily navigation. It's called Self Destructive Cookies. Basically, it deletes all cookies from a site automatically using one of the following options:
- Destroy site's cookies after you close the tab
- Destroy site's cookies after you close the browser
- Never destroy cookies for this site
This settings are provided on a toolbar button, and I can set them on a per-site basis. The default setting for every site is to destroy cookies. This extension is very useful for me, as I never need to worry about cookies. For sites I use everyday, I just set it to never destroy it's cookies; Some sites I choose to destroy cookies after the browser is closed, so cookies are kept during my whole session; and for all other sites, the default setting is applied, which is to destroy cookies.
So, with this extension, I never have cookies from sites I don't care. It would be great to have a similar functionality on Vivaldi, to help me ensure my privacy easier. Right now, I can manage cookies on Vivaldi, but it's not practical for everyday use.

Partially. You can set cookies for specified domains to "Clear on exit" (they're deleted after restarting the browser). Those settings are accessible via this link: vivaldi://chrome/settings/contentExceptions#cookies or in the site settings on each web page - click on the globe/padlock icon in the address bar and under "Cookies" click on the "n in use" link. After blocking specified cookies, you can set them to "Clear on exit" in the "Blocked" tab.
Besides, I've seen similar request somewhere (not sure if it was in this topic or in the previous one, though).
