Names for Windows
-
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.

Great to hear

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
; this will be a game changer.

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.

PLEASE implement this in a way that also solves my version of this problem. On my work computer, I have a time tracker program, which can auto-filter or auto-tag time based on the active program and document. It captures window titles and document names. I currently use 2 browsers -- my favourite, Vivaldi, for work, and an inferior one for breaktime -- so that these functions are clearly distinguished for my timesheets. In some cases, I also use different accounts on the same services (e.g. Microsoft, Google) for work versus play.
If Vivaldi could both keep track of accounts and sessions (maybe via People or Workspaces?) AND change the window title based on which Person or Workspace this is, or a custom string, then I could probably use Vivaldi for both kinds of browsing, while being able to tell them apart in my time tracker. That would make me very happy as Vivaldi's tab management features are SO much better than every other browser tried.

The development team never gives out estimates... but if it's in the pipeline already, I'd expect it to come out this year still...

Hi. I am testing Vivaldi for the people in my department.
We are not interested in Workspaces at all. We all have multiple monitors, deal with multiple topics, and need multiple windows. It's as simple as that. We are not interested in single-window solutions.
On the other hand, if it takes five years to implement a, ahem, function like this, I don't want to think about what will happen with something that has a minimum of complexity.
I suppose the developers of this browser will have their priorities. Mine is to provide an effective solution. We'll stick with Edge. Unfortunately.

I don't think naming windows would take much space. Just a minute fraction of the space to open a single tab -
@barbudo2005
I don't see how workspaces would work for me.
I currently have about 7 windows open, with 3 to 100+ tabs.
I use a tab manager with horizontal display and annotation for those with many tabs. The 3-tab window is the exception.
In the menu selection, I can see all the windows, with the name of the current tab. Instead I would like to see the name of the window. How would that work with work spaces ? -
Workspaces come to replace the use of Windows. You have a single window with workspaces inside it.
I have four:
You can switch between them with the image menu, using buttons or mouse gestures.
