Command Chains Tab Selection Problem
-
I have a Problem using Command Chains. Everything works exept Tab specific Stuff. I simply cannot select, close, tile, order or do anything other with Tabs through the Command Chain. I just can create new Tabs. Is this a known bug?
I testet also with the current snapshot build on Mac, Linux & Windows. So its not an OS thing.
thank you!

@charisti Hello and Welcome to the Vivaldi Community
It works OK here, sometimes you need to add a small delay if you're chaining several commands together.
It would help if you explained what kind of command chain you're trying to create, a screenshot or listing of the chain in question would help.

@Pathduck. Hello
Thank you for your fast reply.I've reinstalled vivaldi, deleted all the user settings and tried the first command chain "Open Links and Tile" which comes with vivaldi. It still only opens the 3 Helper Tabs and doesnt tile them.
This screenrecording is from the latest snapshot version.https://vimeo.com/670558907/2282db84e1
Its a very slow linux machine, but as said its the same on an Windows Workstation and a Macbook.
It seems that all commands work, exept the ones that have anything to do with tabs
must do something wrong here:)thank you!!

@charisti Hi - try increasing the delay value.
Also try turning off Settings > Appearance > Use Animation to make the opening faster.
The problem seems to be that the tabs need to be opened before any further actions can be done. And you need to adapt the delay to the time it takes on your system.
I really wish they'd implemented this more elegantly, like keeping track of the opened tabs instead of having to rely on a variable delay value.
Try with a really basic chain, not opening new tabs, just selecting one to the side and tiling.

@Pathduck Thank you for your help. Ich think i have narrowed the problem down.
It seems the commands only work after an restart of the browser. I only testet it on pop os and windows. The Test Button in the Command settings doesnt work for me and seems a bit buggy. It only targets the main window when using non tab specific commands. For the Tab related Commands i have to restart the Browser and use a shortcut. But I have to add a tiny delay after every command for it to work. The Workstation seems to be to fast and the linux machine to slow. It works after i add an delay of 1 on windows.On the linux one it has to be over 100. Maybe a global delay setting would be nice.
Sometimes really funny things are happening. When I run the command with the test button "select current tab > close tab" it proceeds closing the settings window. (im using new window for settings, not new tab).
You are right, it seems for now more like an outside approach with a bit trial and error. Anyway it will still save some time in the long run.
thank you very very much for your time and effort. it was driving me crazy:)
all the best

The delay is in milliseconds, you will hardly notice for instance
250.But good to hear you're making progress
