Store Custom Speed Dial Thumbnails

[AltCode]

Currently, if I am to set a custom thumbnail for a speed dial, but move the image or delete it, the speed dial also goes away. Vivaldi should also be able to store a copy of my custom thumbnail, so that it does not break if I were to move or delete the picture.

What about a dedicated folder in the profile folder, where thumbnails are stored with the site URL in the file name?

I store mine in the Vivaldi folder. I don't see how having Vivaldi store them for you makes any difference. You could still delete them by mistake.

@pesala
It could be read only for the user. You open the image from whatever folder you want, but the browser does not use it from there, but creates a copy in the profile folder, and uses it from there.

In addition, having a dedicated folder would help the syncing of custom thumbnails.

@altcode Similar problem: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/24479/speed-dial-sync-sync-custom-thumbnails

@Nekomajin Because of Sync I think that storage implementation should be well premeditated.

No one from Team Vivaldi has said anything about this, but from my testing it seems like is now keeping a copy of the custom thumbnails!

I don't know when it began doing this, but I sure wish someone had said something sooner!

@AltCode I think this is directly related to the future implementation of this feature.
