Configurable address toolbar and finer grained control on muting – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1369.6
-
@pesala Thank you for your reply! I see that setting now, and it was unchecked, so I checked it and now my bookmark titles look correct. It would seem that having it un-checked (by default) should/would not affect the display of my current bookmark names, and why V chose some to begin some names with '&' and others not, is still a mystery to me - but at least they look better now after checking that box.
It only seemed to affect the names in the folder on my bookmark bar, and not the names if I look in the Bookmarks themselves. Appreciate the heads up!
-
Thank you so much for the ability to customize the buttons - finally! I wonder if we'll ever get something which Firefox had where you could just drag+drop whatever buttons you wanted onto the bar. And be able to move back buttons without having to 'reset to default'.
-
@para-noid haha I never thought this would need clarification but ok By what I wrote I meant that the quality and stability of the snapshot is so good that it feels like it is the stable (version/branch), and thus one can make it his default browser easily. Also if you check my sig I also use it as "portable" or "standalone" as you and Vivaldi call it.

We only call it standalone because it is NOT portable and we want to avoid confusing newcomers.
-
@tbgbe As you can see calling it "standalone" is already confusing users, because it implies portability That's the problem, not the solution.
-
@luetage @TbGbe @npro I sense an impending cluttering of the comments for this snapshot. That seems to be what happens every time someone mentions the "Standalone/portable" issue.
Here is a link to a number of threads already created on the issue if anyone wants to learn or discuss further
-
Can't go to Bookmarks from a different Speed Dial other than the default one (by clicking "Bookmarks" on the non-default Speed Dial, left to History), anyone having the same problem?
-
@luetage Exactly, it's also what wikipedia says: "A portable application (portable app), sometimes also called standalone, is a program designed to read and write its configuration settings into an accessible folder in the computer, usually the folder where the portable application can be found.", so the problem is on the implementation and not on the word.
-
@npro I just tested by right-clicking on another bookmark folder in the Bookmarks Panel, and setting it as a speed dial folder. I had no problem opening the Bookmarks Tab from that Speed Dial's navigation bar.
-
@pesala I have just downloaded the snapshot again and "installed" it as a standalone on a different path. Here is a video of it:
-
@npro I confirm your bug, there's not even need to set another bookmark folder as speed dial, the bookmark tab on speed dial doesn't activate anymore if you select bookmark, speed dial and then bookmark tab again, while if you select history then bookmarks, it activates. Same goes if i do History, Speed Dial, History: The History tab doesn't activate, unless I select Bookmarks.
It's a regression in this snapshot. -
@npro I've noticed a number of issues where the UI stops responding to clicks in
1369.6
, not being able to switch start page sections is just one case where it happens. -

Vivaldi-Snapshot is so good that even we hers can make it our default browser too. Who'd have thought?

not the solution
An actual honest-to-dog solution would be to drop the weird windoze way & do it the Linux way, whereby Stable & Snapshot have utterly independent discrete paths & profiles. The windoze way always seems daft to me.
-
@steffie I beg to differ, I prefer stable overwriting snapshot and viceversa when I'm updating, I don't care having 2 different Vivaldi on my PCs. To each his own. Or hers.There you go, specified it before you start this his/her thing also with me.
-
@ian-coog OMZ.
-
@ian-coog Ah, but the joy of having differing application naming (
vivaldi
andvivaldi-snapshot
) is that it does still allow you to upgrade profiles if you cross the stream. The difference is that by default, things are separate.However, the reverse is much more difficult (you have to anticipate the fact that things are not separate before you begin).
In either case you can finagle your way around it, but to me having separate naming for separate streams seems the "fail-safe" option.
-
Just install Snapshots as Standalone to keep profiles separate from the Stable version.

@fangsta Can confirm having the same issue, on Win 10 64-bit. Happens when trying to open link in new tab in a windows with lots of them.
