Custom Speed Dial thumbnails – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.10.862.6
-
@mariap I've tried the auto update approximately 15-20 times, & downloaded the 32 bit offline installer to try to run 5 times, each time I get an Installer failed error, but Windows Smartscreen seems to be hanging around as well so would that be interfearing? The 32 bit installer is downloading as 6.8mb, so not a complete offline install, currently installed 64 bit over the previous installation, but it's a lot slower
Update-as of 5minute ago I'm getting a full 32 bit download-yay!
Whichever way, Vivaldi is still the best by a massive margin, thanks Vivaldi Team -
Nobody has mentioned this but, to make the speed dial customization even better than it is, why not let us use the Capture Page feature Vivaldi already has!
I can see many possibilities all of them very easy to implement. Bear with me:
-
The simplest one and quickest one in term or development time (I think) would be to have multiple options in the new the speed dial item menu including the possibility to PASTE from clipboard. This way we can use Selection Page Capture (the Vivaldi feature!) and PASTE it on the speed dial we want without going outside of the browser. Hell yeah! Easy.
-
Another easy option could be to enhance the Selection Page Capture step after you selected the part you want as an image. Add a button (besides the camera button in the selection step) that allows user to replace speed dial or bookmark thumbnail with what we capture. With some conditions you can make this smart:
a: Detect whether the current open page is a Speed Dial OR Bookmark Page (you already have functions to do that).
b: User opens Page Capture menu.
c: If a is true then available the button set selection as Thumbnail.
That Page Capture feature you guys have can go places... I imagine a future where you have a share button right into it, and a GIF Maker Selector similar to what the Galaxy Note has.

@matmur44 The same thing happened to me with the macOS glitch I just reported.

@juniorsilva30: Refresh this page and try the 32 bit link again. Fixed here. Thank you devs.

Thanks for informing! I updated the page and now it is working perfectly! Thank you Team Vivaldi too!
-
@xyzzy: Same issue as well
-
While we're working on Speed Dial, do you think we could have the border radius of the thumbnails match the set border radius of our themes? Even if you max out the corner rounding, it stays the same.
-
@sapient: "but I couldn't help myself, made it my default a couple of weeks ago" --> ha, you made a very wise decision!

OMG ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
It's hard to tell if you're happy or not. If only you could make it clearer...
-
@ROTFL Yeah, I figures as much. No problem I'll probably design my own speed dial icons locally using SVG in Inkscape anyway, then export as PNG, or JPEG.
Maybe we should eventually open a new thread for "speed dial themes" or pre-made thumbnail bundles with specific styles, nice icons and occasional animated GIFs

32-bit Windows download is now working OK
-
@Pesala 64-bit Windows download is wokring also well
-
@JuniorSilva30 Yes, thanks Vivaldi for the quick fix for this so we can update now.
-
@dleon: That's right! I have a lot of nested folders in my Speed Dial, arranged in multiple levels! In fact I do not use bookmarks or, to be more specific, I have bookmarks with just one folder named Speed Dial (and another one called bookmarks bar with the exact same contents)! I got used to that 'bookmark system' after following Opera Chromium which didn't have bookmarks for over a year!
-
@nutcracker Interesting. I have a single top-level folder named Speed Dial, I show it on start page and Bookmark Bar, and it has six folders in it, two of which have (24 and 51) folders in them.

After some hours of shutdown, reopened Vivaldi and I've already lost 2 of the 3 custom thumbnails I've set yesterday. Not a good start.
wait but... It disappears if I delete the temp file I selected... no, it doesn't have to load the file from disk, it has to import the image into the SD bookmark as thumbnails. -
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...
