Custom Speed Dial thumbnails – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.10.862.6
-
@pettern Let's hope it's not a problem. For now I've used VivaldiHooks to set my personal custom thumbs, which sets them directly in the bookmarks, and I don't have to worry if the temp files used to set the thumbs exists or not.

Cool, those individual SD-Images are a nice touch.
However- the last directory a file has been saved to from a privacy window is used in a non-privacy window when a file gets requested (i.e. when uploading a file to a webform)
- duplicating tabs: it would be far more sophisticated if the RAM of a tab gets cloned (I know, it's far more difficult). Right now when duplicating a tab a new tab is opened and the content gets reloaded again.
- duplicating tabs: sometimes duplicating a tab results in nothing but an empty new tab with the correct URL in the address bar. Even [F5] or a reload don't help... (only [F8], [Ctrl]+[C], [Ctrl]+[W], [Ctrl]+[T], [Ctrl]+[V], [Enter])

@milkb0at: Sorry, it slipped my mind that this would be a problem. Working on fixing it now.
Totally awesome response. But please never apologize. You folks are doing a great job.
How about a 'lock' in the upper left corner? When 'locked' the thumbnail cannot be refreshed.
-
@g_bartsch And an unlock button right beside it!
And while we're at it, the dials need a drag button, I know they can be dragged but it isn't really obvious to new users, how about making it double the size and placing it in the middle? -

['Update download incomplete.']Sure I can download from a link, but the autoupdate should work, so this is a bit shit really
-
@luetage I'd put the lock/unlock in a context menu, and have that guard against both refreshes and deletions.
-
@pettern I understand this is probably not trivial, but couldn't all overlays of the SD thumb be somehow condensed into a single "three dot menu" icon on the top right of every SD thumb or something; just like the i menu here at the forum comments.
In there you could tuck away all the Delete Speed Dial, Refresh Thumbnail, Custom Thumbnail, Refresh All, Lock, etc. while also reducing the chance of accidentally pressing any of these while clicking to navigate, since first click would always open the menu first.
It could then grow more freely to accommodate any future additions that might be necessary
-
@duarte.framos This, or @Pesala's right-click context menu. In terms of a lock the only drawback to either is the state (locked or unlocked) cannot be seen readily.

@gwen-dragon:
thanks but didn't work.
same error
on my system %TEMP% is C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp btw -
@xyzzy That's exactly what Opera has, but it is still a pointless distraction.
One can still right-click, to show the same menu, which requires no icon, and no accuracy.
To be honest, I think the Vivaldi menu is already looking cluttered. Do we really need cut, copy, paste?
-
@g_bartsch Does it make sense to apply the lock to the Speed Dial page itself as an initial fix, then invest time to refine the Speed Dial UX as a whole later?
-
@Pesala The right-click (anywhere on the tile) was precisely what I was thinking.
-
@xyzzy I think that makes the most sense. Refreshing the Speed Dial and losing all of the thumbnails is the worst case to protect against. Replacing one thumbnail is not such a big deal.

which requires no icon, and no accuracy.
This I like. My disability makes it difficult to right click with accuracy but the speed dial tile is a big target and easy to hit.
-
@xyzzy I would say yes, lock the whole SD page from refreshing at once. Maybe individual tiles could be refreshed themselves?
-
Soon-to-come snapshots will protect custom dials from F5 refresh.

In case anyone didn't see JuniorSilva30's thread "I'm creating some thumbnails for the Speed Dial, sharing ...", I have some good ones that go along well with Vivaldi's stock SD thumbnail style: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwcOkwtCjr51T0psOHJXb0M4VmM?usp=sharing

And also is here some Gifs, if you are interested

@g_bartsch Yep, also like this

@nekomajin:
The only native thing you will have and get for the foreseeable future is the native window frame, if you set it like that in the settings.Other than that let me quote from https://vivaldi.com/ :
"One of the things that makes Vivaldi unique is that it is built on modern web technologies. We use JavaScript and React to create the user interface with the help of Node.js and a long list of NPM modules. Vivaldi is the web built with the web."Native GUI would mean: Add a framework like e.g. QT or build an own cross platform framework, make the browser heavier and throw out all of the options you have now or hack the framework into oblivion, only to maintain a huge bunch of window managers and operating systems that all can display HTML CSS and JS just fine inside of the browser window.
Does that answer the question about a native UI?
(mind: I didn't write "never", because I too can't look into the future - but definitely not with a team of the size as it is now)
