Custom Speed Dial thumbnails – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.10.862.6
-
I cannot login to the blog. I click "login" and all it does is open a new tab with the same blog post.
There should be a way to login to the forum and be automatically logged into the blog. Pretty please!And I'm getting ticked off at Vivaldi. I'm still trying to figure out everything Vivaldi can do.
Then what happens? Vivaldi adds yet another feature. I can't keep up. It isn't fair. (lol)Thanks for giving us the ability to create Speed Dial thumbnails.
See what I mean? Another great feature to use. -
@Para-Noid To log in to both forum and Blog, you need 3rd party cookies enabled.

@Para-Noid Well, no need to allow 3rd party cookies in any case, not even for Vivaldi. If you want to comment on the blog, you can just use the snapshot forum board instead (the one you are using right now), your comments will be posted on the blog too. There is really no point in having access to the blog signed in.
-
@luetage Perhaps not necessary, but sometimes certainly useful. The visible threading structure of the blog makes it easier to follow some conversations. When the length of the comment list exceeds a page, then it can be hard to figure out what comment a reply is addressed to. Sometimes I will flip over to the Blog for the express purpose of reading a conversation from beginning to end in a single glance.
(By the same token, one has to move over to the Forum to edit a comment.)
-
@Budsterblue Not that I know of, open a new window and it hopefully will be unaffected.
-
@dleon: thank you
-
@Ayespy You can read the blog without being signed in, that's no reason to tell users to enable third party cookies. Really the only thing you miss out on is commenting directly on the blog page. I got over that urge pretty quickly.
Furthermore, I believe most users currently posting here, are doing so from the forums, because this is where we get notifications and unread indicators. Case in point, you are posting this from forum too right now, aren't you?
-
@luetage Of course. I only go to the Blog if I have to, either to get an update, or to make sense of something. Still, I'm logged in everywhere on Vivaldi (including Slack and Jira), partly because I have all Vivaldi cookies enabled. 3rd party works for most people. For the particularly paranoid, targeted enabling for the Vivaldi domains works, too.
-
@Ayespy Particularly paranoid? If you have third party cookies enabled for your whole browser then you are particularly careless. But do what you want, I'm just arguing you shouldn't give out bad advice to users. Enabling them for vivaldi.net and the blog is alright, because I generally trust Vivaldi, and don't think Vivaldi will request e.g. twitter and facebook cookies when it's enabled. Doing so browser-wide is a completely different kind of dare.

@pettern: So no plans on changing this behaviour?
-
@mozzer It's under discussion back stage. Pettern has not mentioned if it will change, but a couple of us are urging him to change it.
-
@newscpq: Google has it's own kind of Spatial Navigation, which was colliding with Vivaldi's, so Vivaldi's was switched off for these Google pages.
-
it would be nice to add a url to custom thumbnail image, not only local file.
the image from web can be updated from time to time -
Custom Speed Dial thumbnail is nice! But after I restarted Vivaldi, custom speed dial thumbnail images disappear! Is this bug??
-
@pesala: I guess my 1920x1080 wasn't big enough for more than 8 columns. I thought the speed dial would readjust to smaller thumbnail to fit 12 column

For custom images Vivaldi stores only the link to the physical storage in its settings.
Just my opinion :
While it would take a bit more disk space, it would make sense for Vivaldi to use a copy of these images, re-sampled if necessary to the max. size used by thumbnails (e.g. if the source image is huge, so it would take less space).
Advantages :
- Resembles the usual way many software use (for instance, when setting a Windows wallpaper, it is copied elsewhere and you can delete the source) ;
- It would allow a user to sync them too, once sync is implemented and deployed (I wouldn't expect Vivaldi to sync files out of its own profile between my PCs, if it decided to sync the original location of the files, which may not even be possible (think drive letters on Windows, for instance, if PCs are set up differently)).
Drawbacks :
- Editing the image would require setting it again, whereas with the current mechanism it will probably automatically update itself once you restart Vivaldi.
-
@gwen-dragon: Thank you for replying! I thinked selected images were copied to setting folder. So, after I selected images, I deleted these images.

@kyu3a exactly, see my previous reply on this same thread

@Gwen-Dragon
Thanks for the info ! We'll se in time then
(Also, nice workaround by putting files in the user profile folder, didn't think of that)
