We will be doing maintenance work on Vivaldi Translate on the 11th of May starting at 03:00 (UTC) (see the time in your time zone).
Some downtime and service disruptions may be experienced.
Thanks in advance for your patience.
Bug: The file .vivaldi_reporting_data is still in the Users home folder...
-
Vivaldi leaves a file in the Users home folder called .vivaldi_reporting_data.
This even happens when Vivaldi has been installed standalone / portable.This issue appears to be present since 2019 and it has not been fixed which I find not acceptable.
Please change your code to put this file in the Vivaldi UserData folder in AppData\Local\Vivaldi\UserData.

@magiemann I absolutely agree, but not sure if/when it will be fixed.
Applications should never place files directly in the user home directory, AppData should always be used. If every program started doing this there would be a complete mess.
I guess you could always report it as a bug if you haven't already:

@pathduck I just filed the report. Thanks for suggesting that. Let's see if they do something about it.

the file .vivaldi_reporting_data is appearing in my root folder (%userProfile%) The size is zero bytes. Can I delete this file? It shouldn't be appearing outside of the Vivaldi program folder.
Shane.
