Names for Windows
-
Recently moving from Chrome to Vivaldi; this and the ability to cycle through recent media tabs are the two main features I am feeling the absence of most keenly. Would very much like to name Windows for persistent tab collections and even better if they retain those names when you save a session

@TheHighHorse Vote for the first post if you haven't already done so. (Voting again will remove your vote).

@Pesala Maybe that is the issue with the votes, it is so unclear how and where to vote? On the first post or somewhere else...?
Thanks.

I already upvoted for this, but for those using Linux I created a simple workaround that by capturing window_id with 'xwininfo' and adding it to a simple file list with the desired name will be read by another background process that reads the list in a loop and keep changing the window name with 'xdotool'.
Vivaldi is saving me for my usage, different windows for different contexts (sometimes 7 windows) with many tabs. Tried with Brave, Chrome and Chromium and they let me down...
but I needed the window name changing capability for my own organization.if you want to check it just tell me ...

Very much support adding of this feature!
It's becoming especially distracting now that renaming tabgroups in the "Windows" paneel is possible, because the window still is named after the first website in the tab group, which looks kind of weird.
Example below:
-
Vivaldi's latest snapshots include Workspaces, which can be given a name, an icon and that by definition group related tabs and stacks.
I've been phasing out my use of multiple windows into using multiple workspaces. With the advantage of also solving the problem of having mail only functional in one window which was not always the same...
Last I checked the feature needed to be manually enabled in vivaldi:experiments but it's been working fine for me and I feel it might be a good workaround for those wanting the feature that originated this thread...

We have discussed adding a possibility to rename windows recently, and this request is now in our pipeline, which means that we're planning to add it in one of our future updates.

What great news! I've wanted this forever but didn't think it would be possible so didn't ask. Before Workspaces I had up to seven windows open to group tabs and seeing seven windows in the taskbar was confusing and difficult to tell what was in them. Workspaces has fixed the problem but I'm still finding it useful to have 2-3 windows open. Will renaming the window mean the name shows up in the taskbar tile?

@barbudo2005 Sweet! I eagerly await this feature.

@barbudo2005 Better late than never

I think Workspaces are a "kind" of Windows, so will be very soon.
-
@barbudo2005 I may have to switch back to Chrome, this is such a game changer for how I work.

No, You don't have. In the last update Vivaldi introduced Workspaces.
You have several tab bars one for work, one for leisure, one for Vivaldi forum, etc. and you only see one at a time.
Better than Windows. Try them.

On top of what @barbudo2005 already said about Workspaces, this request is now also in the Pipeline, meaning that it might be around soon (probably not in the next few releases, but at least it's already being planned to do it)

@pauloaguia How long will it take? 1 year, 2 years?
It will be 5 years since this feature is requested.
