Vivaldi 1.13 adds Window Panel, improves Downloads and brings under-the-hood enhancements
-
Currently using the tab bar on the right, I actually fail to see the added advantage of this window panel.
No closing on double-click. no close tabs below, no close tabs above, and also,no option to reopen a closed tab. -

no option to reopen a closed tab
closed tabs are visible too and just double click one to reopen it.

@dsl101: Annnnd I just realised it doesn't support nested groups. Guess I'm sticking with Tree Tabs for now.

@ligh Vote for this feature request
@pointed-stick said in Feature requests for Vivaldi 1.14:
IRC client (like in O12, including log files, pls)
Some brain-dead numbskulls have downvoted it, through not understanding the principle of the feature requests forum. If someone wants to request a coffee-maker wired up to Vivaldi, they can, but it might not get implemented any time soon.
IRC Chat is available in Opera 12.18, so it should be added to Vivaldi too. Even though I don't need it myself I have voted for it, as I know that others do use such features.

@pesala It's not one more simple step, it's two clicks, a new window, battling with z-order, doing the operation on the file, then closing the window. Unnecessary hassle. I could just use IE if I wanted that.
-
+1 option to Close tabs from the Windows side pane - very handy to manage multiple open tabs. Best if we could select multiple non-consecutive tabs with Ctrl+
-
@shoham It is already available.
Specs: AMD A10-6800K, 8 Gb on Win 10 64-bit • 1.13 Final Build 1008.32 (64-bit)

Currently it is necessary. If you are patient it is not a hassle.

It would work perfectly with Window Panel! This Panel IS session manager.
Close to it, but not quite. I don't want to open new windows but replace the set of tabs in the current window. While I was still using OmniWeb as my main browser I had sessions for different daily tasks. For example, there was a session "Breakfast" containing all the news sites I would go through every morning. Having done that, there's no need to keep them open, so I close the session.
The sessions in OmniWeb can be assigned shortcuts. So I would have my "breakfast" session on Cmd-F1, the "work" session (bugtrackers, /. etc.) on Cmd-F2 etc.
To me it looks like using the technology already available, this would be fairly easy to add.
-
@mbert: More precisely: I would not "close" a session but replace it with another one. So my window remains open, only the set of tabs displayed changes. It's a bit like workspaces in classical Unix window managers.
-
@ryofurue From my point of view, the tab bar is the "main quick and clean" way to interact with tabs, whereas the panel helps sometimes when I need more power management, at the cost of a "temporary" loss of space on the left of the screen.
With only a few tabs, I find the tab bar easier because there are less eyes perturbations: only icon and text. In the panel, there are the arrows to expand the stacks and folders, the numbers to the right, the windows and folders names, etc...
Moreover, imho it looks cleanier thanks to the color adaptation to the content of the page.
This is also just a personal taste, but I like tab selections in the usual "upper" section.On the other hand, with a lot of tabs, looking for something very specific is easier in a vertical list, especially for the tab stacks. The re-organization of stacks is really painful in the current tab bar, whereas it is smooth and powerful in the panel.
I find the 2 concepts complementary.

Amazing! Tree style tabs in a window is exactly what I was looking for. Are you reading on people's dreams at night?
-
Thank you for the great tools, espacially the Window panel! But how to hibernate and pin tabs and tab stacks?
-
@maste Right-click on a tab to hibernate it or pin it. Shortcut for Pin tab can be assigned in settings, keyboard.
-
Hello, and congrats on new release! Please, is there multiple rows bookmark now possible in Vivaldi? Firefox + Roomy toolbar was only option left (that I am aware of) to use, and Firefox with rel 57 just ruined it. Have to use older Firefox for now. You know, browser for me has to do just two things - show me stuff, and have one-click accessible nice rows of small icons that I care to visit. Can Vivaldi be that?
-
I can't pin grouped tabs. I'm preferring pinned tabs because they can't be closed by accident and they also load at startup.
-
@grogge: also pinned tabs easier to select from the tab bar. They get more room than in a tab group.
-
@grogge Tabs in a stack can be pinned with the shortcut. This may be a bug. The menu to pin them does not have the pin tab. option.

I agree with all you say.
But what you say is the description of the current implementations of the Tab Bar and the Window Panel.
Suppose 1) that you keep your tab bar on the left-hand side and 2) that you always have many tabs and use tab stacks to organize them.
If that's the case, wouldn't you want the Tab Bar or the Window Panel to be improved so that one day, you need only one of them?
For those who place the Tab Bar on the left-hand side, the two features are already very similar . . . so similar that it's a bit annoying if you have to switch between the two depending on what you want to do.
In short, I would like one of them to be improved so that one supersedes the other for the left-hand-side tab users. The current Window Panel is already pretty close.
So, developers, keep improving the Window Panel! Everybody would be happier.

This Window Manager is going to be huge timesaver for me! Thanks a lot!
