Rearrangeable search engines – Vivaldi browser Snapshot 1.14.1064.3
-
@lars-bauer: All Chromium 63 security improvements have been backported to these snapshots already as can be seen in previous changelogs.
-
Thanks for the search engine sorting.
2 issues,
First is that the new layout of the search engines creates an overlap if no nickname is present
Next is that I can't close Vivaldi, it hangs constantly in the background. I need to use windows task manager to close it. Not sure if this has been an issue with previous snapshots in this branch as I haven't used any before this release.
-
@gwen-dragon: I can totally reproduce this. It's completely broken for me.
-
The maximised window fix worked after installation of the update completed, but every time I launch after that (either through clicking a link, or clicking the icon) it doesn't seem to work. It does work for newly created windows in an already-open browser though. (Windows 1709 x64)
-
Awesooooooome!
But... can we sort them automatically by name? or do we have to sort each one manually ?
-
Thank you for fixing the maximized bug, it was really annoying.
-
Oh forgot to say, I got the normal update notification this time, everything's good.
-
@saudiqbal: good it works for you but it's not fixed at all for me on both my win 7 (32bit) installations. It acts the same as in previous snapshots, window is ALMOST enlarged to all screen but still not maximized. Hopefully next time it will be also for me.
-
@asires: Maybe the icons in the Prefs panel, I agree, but not the entire UI, because the interface of Vivaldi is already sooooo compact, almost claustrophobic! Even the UI font is condensed, not regular (at least in macOS), which I dislike...
-
@christoph142: I think he meant that the Chromium version is still v62 while Opera, for example, is testing v64 in their development branch... This is two versions further...
-
@brunnopleffken Vivaldi will be skipping Chromium 63 (though we have tested with it) and going straight to Chromium 64.
-
@brunnopleffken: I got that. But this snapshot is NOT running an "insecure" Chromium 62, but has all the fixes that came in Chromium 63. So you are in no way any less secure than using the final version of Opera. And devs are of course working on the Chromium updates internally...

Interesting. What if you use shitft+up/down or simply drag with the mouse?
-
@espen: All three methods are broken for me. Dragging seems to be the most predictable way, though.

waiting for rearrangeble searchengines for years, thank you!
but the down button moves only the cursor, not the searchengine (€dit: it moves the searchengine one time down, after that nothing happens).
and (as luetage already wrote), the up button changes the searchengine sometimes up to 3 placesWhat happens if you use the keyboard to activate the arrow?

"Most predictable". Can you describe how it misbehaves with dnd? I have never seen any problems myself (using Linux) so I need to know how to to reproduce.

Resizing the Settings Dialogue has some odd effects with the search engines. I think this dialogue needs a minimum size to prevent this from happening.
I already reported a problem with the Mouse Gesture Settings.
(VB-8008) Gesture Mapping Column in Settings Can Collapse to Zero
The Search Engine Icons are 32 pixels @ 100% UI Zoom, which seems about right to me. The vertical spacing of 12 pixels could perhaps be reduced slightly, perhaps to 8 pixels to fit ten engines into the default panel size, instead of only nine. The container for the engines does not resize, and does not need to.
Edit: I see that the panel expands vertically to accommodate the tenth search engine as soon as I add it. How does this affect users with dozens of Search Engines?
Drag and Drop to rearrange the engines makes it so easy to sort them manually that I think alphabetical sorting is not really necessary. For those with lots of search engines, separators would be more useful.
-
@derday: I can totally reproduce this. It's completely broken for me too (Win7x64)
-
@ayespy and @christoph142: Good to know! And we'll receive the v64 with open arms!!

[bug?] Can't add a Jitsi Meeting as a web panel: bug, or feature?
Do this:- create a Jitsi meeting (e.g: https://meet.jit.si/WhatSoEver): you'll see it in a new TAB, nice!
- add it as a web panel: you'll see that any page will be rendered into the web panel.
Is it a feature (technical limit of web panels), or a bug?
Thank you,
