What isn't being synced?
-
I'm using Vivaldi 4.0.2312.38 (Stable channel) (64-bit) on a Windows 10 PC and i want to start also using it on a Linux Ubuntu PC.
What do i have to transfer manually in order to have the same Vivaldi on both?History?
Extension Data?
Settings? -
@anarcho Themes, search engines, feeds, keyboard shortcuts, certain other settings, custom speed dials, custom backgrounds and menu customization. Might be more, but these are the most obvious ones. Extension data should get synced, but to be safe I would use the backup function in extensions which provide it. Extensions themselves need to be reinstalled. History, Bookmarks, Notes, etc. are covered by sync.
-
@anarcho Vote for these feature requests:
- Sync More Features covers everything
- Sync Tabs
- Sync Profiles
- Sync Saved Sessions
- Sync Web Panels
- More...

Supplementary: Web Panels are not synchronized either.

"certain other settings"
Which ones and why?"custom speed dials, custom backgrounds"
What are those?"Extension data should get synced"
Doesn't sound like a very reliable sync. -
@pesala Why aren't all settings synced? Isn't that all in one file?
-
@anarcho Not at all. And of the settings that are in a single file, they are not the only data in there. And so, to sync a particular setting, the software first has to parse just the code that deals with that setting, sent it to the server, then capture it from the server at the other end, and overwrite just that code in the file that contains (a lot of) settings, plus other stuff as well.

@achmedislamic About bookmark sync, see this What isn't being synced?. Hopefully someone will verify that bookmarks are part of syncing.
-
@boomer1 Of course they are. The very first version (and every one since) of Vivaldi sync included bookmarks.
-
This is as good of a thread to ask my questions as any, so here goes. Is there any ETA on when all the endusers's custom settings including those under the hood will be able to be saved as well? Current I backup my entire Default folder for Vivaldi and Vivaldi-Snapshot so I know on a fresh install I have everything.
-
@locutusofborg No, there is no such ETA.
-
@Ayespy I made a mistake. And, I posted my response on the wrong thread.
