Developer Tools Window is Too Small When Opening
-
@cssyphus Check your profile folder at
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Default\and use thePreferencesfile. -
@cssyphus for the small webdev popup problem, please apply the workaround on the Preferences file, once Vivaldi is closed, as the others said.
Try this path of you still didn't find out on Windows.@cssyphus said in Developer Tools Window is Too Small When Opening:
ALSO, I'll throw-in my vote for "please break-out the Inspect Element onto the main context menu when right-click on a web page". Just my preference.
You can edit the context menu in Vivaldi's preference (Ctrl+F12).
You can (should) change the behaviour for documents, images and links, at least. -
@DoctorG It appears I had the correct Preferences file the first time (my username is "owner" - I choose generic usernames). Not sure why changing the Preferences file did not modify Vivaldi window positions. I kept trying over time, and finally something I did worked. However, I then repeated what worked and the very next change did not update. Perhaps it is something to do with timing and auto-release of file locks? No idea, but it finally worked - without rebooting.
Fwiw, the FQ pathname to the preferences.json file on my system is [ C:\Users\owner\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Preferences ] (no file extension on the filename)

@jesus2099 Thanks! I found the correct area and was able to move the "Inspect Element" command back to the main context menu. Much appreciated.
FFR:
- F12 for Vivaldi Settings
- Appearance (left side menu)
- MENU => Menu Customization dropdown == Page
-
- Scroll to very bottom
-
- Right-Click on [Developer Tools]
-
- uncheck "Show as Subfolder"
-
Exactly @cssyphus, and you can do
fakesame for links and images (and maybe some other category). I did them all. -
@jesus2099 Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "do fake for links and videos" -- what are you referring to there? Could you please be very specific - I am enjoying how customizable Vivaldi is and am keen to learn all the useful tips.
-
Sorry I'm on smartphone, making typos.
What you did for Page, do it also for Link, Image, and maybe some others I forgot.Otherwise, when you right click and your mouse is over links or images, you will still have that sub-menu.

Came here because I had the same issue. The workaround felt pretty clunky and I couldn't manage to set the devtools size and location properly, because I have so many windows open at the same time.
But... because I wanted to inspect the devtools window, I opened devtools on the devtools.
The interesting part is, this second devtools properly remembers its location. And while doing so, also updates the preferences for the first devtools.
So, I placed the second devtools how I wanted it, and now it always opens in the right location with the right size.
I think that is a much better workaround until the bug is fixed.
Is there any way to help with the fix? Someone further above seemed to already have figured out parts of cause.

I opened devtools on the devtools
Hi totkeks,
How did you do that, and save the resizing?
In a few reproducible steps?It seems that it could be much more easy to do than the current described work-around!
-
Open Devtools with
ctrl + shift + i.Then with the Devtools active, press
ctrl + shift + iagain, so you have a Devtools inspecting the Devtools.Now resize and position that second Devtools window. Its location will be saved and applied to the other Devtools window after closing and opening it again.

press ctrl + shift + i again
Thank you, it works great!
That's the best workaround of both, it's more convenient!It didn't work with my usual
F12and it apparently doesn't work withshift control j, either.
It only works, as you say, withshift control i, indeed. -
@totkeks Good trick
