Custom Speed Dial thumbnails – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.10.862.6
-
Summary: Custom SD thumbnails gets loaded from disk files instead of being imported
Key: VB-29020
Project: Vivaldi BrowserCustom SD thumbnails gets loaded from disk files instead of being imported
Steps to reproduce:
I've made 3 custom small thumbnails, put them in C:\temp\ and simply set them with "select custom thumbnail", as I already did with VivaldiHooks so far. Then I deleted the temp files. Vivaldi uses local files from where they were set, so now I've lost them.
The thumbnails should be stored like any other thumbnails in Top Sites or anyway kept inside Vivaldi databases.Expected behaviour:
Vivaldi Should import the custom thumbnail exactly as it does for autogenerated ones.Actual behaviour:
if temporary local file is deleted, no SD thumbnail can be shown.Vivaldi version:
1.91.862.6 -

@Gwen-Dragon sigh, ok thanks. There are too many "webmasters" that shouldn't be in IT industry and better be working on potato fields.
-
Okay, we need a thread with users uploading their custom thumbs...
-
@Gwen-Dragon I would, but unfortunately, my knowledge in graphics is pretty much nil. I pretty much live off of the creations of others...
-
Custome speed dial thumbs are missing when deleting/moving/renaming images from hard drive (VB-29024). Thumbs should be stored somewhere inside Vivaldi profile data.

Great! I was waiting for this feature from the very beginning of the Vivaldi project. Now speed dial looks nicer and easier to use, and I am one step closer to finally migrating from Opera 12. Thanks!

Oh, and something else! ALL categories of search results in the Address Bar dropdown list shoul be optional, not just turning off bookmarks and typed history. The user should be able to choose what he/she wants to see in the search results list - history, bookmarks, open pages, web search results, etc. I myself usually need local search results (history and bookmarks), but not web search items. Everyone is different and that's the concept Vivaldi is based on.

@treego: It is working now ... the" Help/Check for Update" now works. The install file now is over 41 MB; something changed (before it was a bit over 7 MB only). Thank you Vivaldi for correcting this. Thank you Vivaldi for a nifty browser!
-
@pesala: 32 bit downloading fine now, speedier than 64 bit, did you get the full download today?
-
If you drag and drop thumbs in speed dial, the animation behaves strange and gaps open on different places (random?) from where you try to drop the thumb.

@andyraisbeck: There's no delta update, only full installer this time. The SysAdmin has already worked on the CDN to fix the issue with the download failing after some MB, so it should be good now.
-
@helsten2 Yes. It's a skill that requires a bit of practice to learn how to move them to the desired slot. There is definitely room for improvement. I presume that someone has already filed a Bug Report
-
@duarte-framos: Actually, as the UI is a webpage, you probably could add any format, even a video. But then don't come complaining about performance.
-
@duarte.framos Why only animated GIF?
-
@treego: It was a problem with the CDN, the SysAdmin has worked with one of the Sopranos that had this error as well and he somehow fixed it.
-
@Gwen-Dragon Yes. Perhaps an under the hood improvement to Chrome? I have not seen it announced in the Changelogs. My post could be moved to the implemented Feature Requests forum.
@Pesala said in Feature requests for 1.9 / 1.10:
Support Animated PNG Images
At least 49 users will be happy.

@Pesala This is something that the Chrom{e,ium} folks have recently gotten around to completing...

...and they're still fixing glitches here and there like this:

Most of the speed dials on my Vivaldi have never fully loaded the thumbnail. Maybe you can add a "Refresh All Thumbnails" right-click option to the Speed Dial Page or have a "Refresh All Thumbnails Every X Days" option somewhere in the settings?
-
@Orthodox This is a great idea and should be easily doable.
