Vivaldi 1.13 adds Window Panel, improves Downloads and brings under-the-hood enhancements

@angrypenguin: only working solution is install without checking deps with "--nodeps" parametr.

While I welcome the new tab management system, the fact that I have to double click to select a tab is a massive turn off. Not going to use it probably, until that changes. Please switch to single click, the functionality in place associated to single click can still work, even if the tab gets selected. I understand why it is working this way but it really doesn't work for me if I have to double click on such a common activity as switching tabs.
The hibernate functionality is certainly useful but I am unlikely to do it manually. It should somehow work in the background, or at least give me the option to choose. The CPU/RAM management on the Chrome search engine seems to be quite good anyway, I imagine that could be useful with many tabs open, especially the fact that you can hibernate many at once.
-
The hibernate functionality also doesn't seem to work consistently, some tabs hibernate, some don’t (especially with multiple selection)

@lucaben: I would also have the window panel on top of the panel list, because it's the most important. While bookmarks and history can be retrieved by just typing in the main bar and hardly need any panels, the download panel is useful to have, I just don't think it should be on top of the list. Thanks
-
@lucaben: Last observation: I would like to rename the windows name. If I have gmail as the first tab in the list, the page is named accordingly, and leads me to click on it. The effect is an unexpected expand/collapse interaction. I would also not use a whole header to identify pinned tabs, everything starts to nest too much and take out lots of space. You could use an identifier that extends vertically, instead. No need to collapse pinned tabs. The very reason why they are pinned is that they are supposed to be easily accessible! Otherwise I can just use the brand new window panel!

@lucaben Vivaldi Settings (Alt+P) → Panel
Tick "activate with single click". You should really check the settings before making assumptions. -
@luetage: Thanks for the tip. I didn't make assumptions, I actually did check. Searched under tabs, couldn't find it. Searched for double click, couldn't find it. I am wondering why it's not set to single click by default. I wonder why would anybody want to double click, also considering that you don't double click to select a tab in the tabs horizontal pane. There's too many customisation options in Vivaldi, customisation is good, too much customisation is not so good.

Customization is the reason I'm using Vivaldi. It's not even HALF as customizable as I wish. If one feels it's too complicated, there's always chrome (ahahah!)

it's alive!
Can’t share screen in Google Hangouts (VB-20439)
thanks Vivaldi community, you guys are awesome! finally I can ditch all other browsers, and recommend Vivaldi to co-workers.

Pleeeeeaaasse can we have native GTK window now in linux.. its been in chromium and chrome for about 6 weeks now
(and not the "native window" option in settings that just adds an extra title bar.. proper native window as in chromium)

that would be ace and i would like that too...but what about the tab stacking or the vivaldi icon for settings?do gtk permits all that?

@trytka1 that's weird, 1.13 is way faster to start and create new windows than 1.12 for me and most of people I've read so far in the forum. It starts literally in 4-5 seconds at boot, and takes 1 second to create a new window. I almost not see it.
It really helps not having too many tabs in the last session, tho.
The splash screen is embedded in
%programfiles%\Vivaldi\Application\1.13.1008.32\resources\vivaldi\browser.html<body style=" background-color: #d4d4d4; background-image: url('resources/vivaldi-splash-icon.svg'); background-size: 16%; background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat;">
Even if you remove it, you'll just see a blank page anyway. It's there to say "I have started but I'm still working on retrieving all your previous data"

I can't open bookmarks from the bookmarks bar with mouse gesture. It's opening speed dial.

The Downloads Panel isn't updating, showing processes from more than a week ago whereas the Downloads Window (vivaldi://downloads) is showing all the processes correctly, including the more recent ones. Is it a known issue? Did a clear install. Win10 x64, Viv 1.13 x64.
And congratulations for the Windows Panel, which is a great feature, making our lives much better regarding several tabs management. Keep up the good work, guys!
-
@cptguapo Are you sure you didn't accidentally change the sorting of the panel? It should say "Sort by Date Added" and display a ^ (indicating newest first/ascending).

Problem with printing here, when i open htm file, vivaldi starts and does not respond to print command, i have to close document, reopen and then it prints ok.

@angrypenguin Ok, short version. I installed OpenMandriva Lx 3.0 and I see the issue there as well and we will try and it get fixed for you.
Now … some background.
As you may (or may not) be aware, there two different maintenance branches of RPM. The original, which has the upstream development page www.rpm.org and is currently at version number 4.14.0 (released 12 October 2017) and a fork called RPM5 and maintained on www.rpm5.org.
All 'major' RPM-based distros (Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise, Mageia, etc.) use the former. A few smaller (lesser known) RPM based distros, like Rosa Linux, and OpenMandriva Lx use the RPM5 fork.
It would seem that a very old trick that we did to allow transition of -unstable and -beta users to -snapshot and -stable (respectively) causes problems on distros that use RPM5. The trick being that we both provide and conflict with -unstable (or -beta), i.e.:
$ rpm -q --qf '\nProvides:\n[%{provides}\n]\nConflicts:\n[%{conflicts}\n]\n' -p vivaldi-snapshot-1.13.1008.30-1.x86_64.rpm Provides: vivaldi-snapshot vivaldi-snapshot(x86-64) vivaldi-unstable Conflicts: libX11 vivaldi-1.0.94.3 vivaldi-<= vivaldi-unstable xorg-x11-libX11
This causes (the original/mainstream) RPM to remove the old package and upgrade to the new one, which is exactly what we intended!
The RPM5 fork however, interprets a package that provides and conflicts with the same virtual package name as being in conflict with itself and thus will not install. I have yet to decide if that is really stupid or just correct!
Either way, the overhwleming majority of users of RPM distros will have no problems with our RPMs. This is why this issue has only been reported by a couple of users AFAICT (and why users of other RPM based distros say they cannot replicate). If we had such an issue with mainstream RPM distros, the bug would have been a P1.
That all said, the transition from the old package names completed a long time ago, so I believe we can now remove these conflicts and produce an RPM that installs on all RPM distros.
-
@AngryPenguin Interestingly it seems that OpenMandriva did at least discuss switching back to rpm.org (from rpm5.org) to bring themselves in line with their sister distro Mageia

Though I take it (since this never happened) that they abandoned the idea.

I noticed problem with adobe flash player/pepperflashplugin and Vivaldi 1.13 with Facebook games in Linux Mint 18.2/18.3. They can't run. After downgrade to 1.12 everything works fine.

More bugs on MacOS with 1.13.1008.30. Startup often maximizes the window (same bug I posted about several times before) and now opening links from another application, like clicking a link in my email, also maximizes Vivaldi. Looks like this one still isn't licked.
