Custom links in menus – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2059.2

A Former User

@Priest72 Depends on what you change.

@iAN-CooG I found it, I have to right click and select "New Link", at that point any url/link can be added and then renamed from "New Link" to what I need.
I followed @Pathduck example to add a Chrome settings, works.

I've not yet updated, but i am so pleased to have seen this in the changelog:

[Linux] Middle-click paste from primary buffer onto webpage fails (VB-72227)

It's happy timing, coz after another day today of mmb frustration with that bug, i had told myself that tomorrow i would temporarily revert to Stable til it was fixed. Noice!

@iAN-CooG yes

it's there now sister

@iAN-CooG You can also search for "open link" in the commands section to add it that way.

@Ruarí Could you guys turn on Indexes in your Nginx server at
https://update.vivaldi.com/update/1.0/relnotes/ ?

So we could find release notes without having to trawl through lots of Snapshot posts? We could then link it through the Help menu for instance.

Is easy: autoindex on; for the location in the conf file (if you're wondering)

Steffie

@npro Yes indeedy, but atm i'm trapped by this infernally slow download. It's been running for about 42 years already...

C-mon already!

npro

@Steffie crap... did you try wget http://url --superboost --steal-korean-internet-speed ?

put it on suspend

LonM

@npro Don't be silly. The fastest way is to quantum entangle your hard drive with the server. Everyone knows that

Steffie

@npro @LonM -- haha, nice one. You two know ALL the cool tricks! What the hell is wrong with me that i'd failed to do either of these?

npro

@LonM not everyone... I feel like a Neanderthaler now

I'll switch to BSD maybe this will make me a bit smarter...

Well too bad. You're not allowed to have another one, til tomorrow. You've used them all up for today!

I wonder how fast it will degenerate, with adding bookmarklets into the "Open Link" thing

adacom

@Pathduck - Chromium Settings from your post earlier in the thread - is that standard now as i cannot see it or have you added it in some way - again cannot see how to

Pesala

@adacom See Settings, Appearance, Menu Customization, Open Link, which is new in this Snapshot.

@Cqoicebordel Great idea!

I tried adding executables to launch but V insists on downloading them instead, silly bugger

chrome://settings

brilliant - thanks - so simple when its explained

npro

@adacom In Settings-> Appearance-> Menu section just type "open link" in the filter commands textbox and drag it to whichever menu you like to add it, it automatically opens and you can put your address there. You can rename it at that place as well, just select the upper box.

/edit: or like @Gwen-Dragon said (doh lol ) , right click anywhere you like and click "New Link" lol.

@Ruarí Hmm, that is strange. Just to leave this out in the open, I did try restarting Vivaldi a few times with the previous snapshot, but that didn’t fix it. It was only today with this new snapshot that popup thumbnails started working again.

Also, I have a question about automatic updates on macOS. I’ve noticed that if Vivaldi is running while a new update is pushed, I’ll receive a prompt asking me if I want to download and install it.

HOWEVER, if Vivaldi is closed while a new update is pushed, the next time I open Vivaldi it will be downloaded automatically but I will not be prompted to update; using “Check for Updates...” will not work at all either. Furthermore, if I restart the application, Vivaldi will be updated the next time it is opened.

Is any of this normal? I find it a bit strange that I must restart Vivaldi twice for it to update itself whenever a new build is pushed.

In short, update downloads itself in the background, I start Vivaldi and no longer receive a prompt to download/install an update nor can I manually check myself, so I must restart Vivaldi again to update.
