Option to detect mobile touch icons instead of thumbnails

[smerugu28]

@stardepp Wow... Cool. It would be a major feature when it will be released and will make everyone happy. Top priority.

Thank you for hearing us @Team_Vivaldi - Enjoy your most earned weekend

Marking as done as vivaldi now has better speed dial image detection logic

[Pesala]

@LonM I see no change here. If I add a new speed dial, I still get a useless auto-generated thumbnail of the page, e.g. on the Vivaldi Bug report page.

Where is the Mobile Touch icon?

[LonM]

@Pesala It is up to the site to provide one. For example, vivaldi.net has a nicely designed one, but vivald.com does not. If vivaldi can't find an appropriate image, it falls back to the normal method

[Pesala]

@LonM It is not working for me on the latest Stable build. Is this only for Mobile Phones?

[LonM]

@Pesala I'm testing on desktop. Hmm. Maybe this feature isn't fully finished yet. (moved the topic back for now)

@LonM
I was already surprised because some pages showed an icon.

Vivaldi 5.4.2763.3

There is a Chrome extension called infinity new tab which provides cliackable icons in place of thumbnails whenever we launch a new tab.

By default, it picks up the favicon of the website, but we can customize it using our own image, change background, etc.

It can stack a lot of icons in a single screen. It also has the facility to add multiple swipable screens.

Is this proposal a similar one?

Also, how do I vote for this feature? I didn't see any upvote/downvote buttons here...

@LonM Please tell me this is a joke and this "feature" is not actually done for. Out of 24 pages on my speed dial page not a single one has an icon. Even sites like youtube, facebook, gmail or google translate.

Let's compare it to Firefox:

@Mido
Hi, this work more ore less if the page support it, NTV and Youtube does, added two minutes ago.
The tag "In Progress" meant, they are working on it.

[Mido]

@mib2berlin Then something is fk-ed up on my end (which is weird cuz I installed Vivaldi today so it's clean install):

[mib2berlin]

@Mido
Hm, I have open ntv.de, youtube.com, add it as bookmark to speed dial, ready.
How did you do?

I create the speed dial thumbnails myself, when I see the Facebook icon in Firefox I would change this immediately.

@Mido
Aha, no idea why this make a difference.

[WildEnte]

@mib2berlin check out what happens when you reload the speeddial thumbnail... Suddenly your nice icon is gone due to VB-79298 "Logo thumbnails for speeddials can only be set by removing and readding the SD"

[Mido]

@WildEnte what's VB-79298?

[mib2berlin]

@WildEnte
Yep, I never reload speed dials if the have an icon.
Hrm, this report is for Vivaldi 3.8.

@Mido
Hi, this is an internal bug report number, if a user report a bug it get such a number.

Cheers, mib

VB-<number> is the Vivaldi Bug report number you get when reporting a bug using their bug tracker https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/ - I have reported that "Logo thumbnails for speeddials can only be set by removing and readding the SD" and this report received the number VB-79298

Makes you wonder why some people say Vivaldi seems unfinished at times

Yes, but... its aspect ratio is not suitable. All that's left of the word "forum" are a few annoying pixels.
