Tuesday is the new Friday

Hmmmm, seems like !=nobody wrote about that recently...

Ooh just noticed this very nice icon work for the Notes, Downloads and Reading List panels:

Not sure if new in this snaphot?
Well done

[AltCode]

@Pathduck I think they're definitely new!

Since you brought these to my attention, I created a new profile and found that there's also new icons for the Bookmarks, History, Mail, Feeds, and Contacts panels!

EDIT: Ok, I just verified by downloading the snapshot prior to this one, running it in standalone mode, and these icons weren't there.

This is good icon work but how/where are you seeing them? TIA

[Pesala]

@janrif They appear when the Panel has no content.

• On a new installation, there are no notes.
• If you open the History Panel and delete the browsing history, you will see the Clock icon.
• If you open the Downloads Panel or Downloads Popup Window, and clear any downloads, you will see the folder icon.

For the cut off text, I reported as:

(VB-90344) Text Cut off in Downloads Popup

@olli: there you are.

[eyupp]

VB-90128 very important for me, I used to set that from chrome://settings/security settings

why this setting was put in the address bar, not on the security tab?

and I want to close address bar, but I Don't, because address bar very important for mail. mail and browser address bar should be seperate, please command bar is enough for everything

I just thought I would mention here that with this Snapshot I am able to drag a page shortcut to the Windows desktop and open it without getting the security prompt when I double-click the shortcut. That's the good news.

The bad news is this only works right from a Private window. Dragging shortcuts from a normal window get saved with the security flag and you get prompted when you try to open them.

@pathduck: Glad you like it

[AltCode]

@janrif As mentioned by @Pesala, these show up when the panels have no content. To get the others to appear:

• The mail panel must not have any mail account set up.
• The contacts panel must not have any saved contacts.
• The feeds panel must not have any feeds.
• The bookmarks panel must not have any saved bookmarks.

This is why it is easiest to see these icons on a new profile, since there won't be anything in the panels.

The bookmarks panel is the sole exception, and the one you're least likely to ever see since every new installation or profile always comes with built-in bookmarks, so you have to delete them to see it at all.

So, in order to see/use the new set of icons, the user must open a new profile & then..... what?...... sync all data or?....

Regression
Devtools UI inspector no longer appears when pressing F12 in Settings...

Ugh, being forced to use Inspect Apps again to do modding, hope this is not intentional?

I'll report, but not sure how to word the issue, after all this is not expected behaviour from users I guess, it was just a neat and quick way to get to the UI inspector.

They are just eye candy shown when the lists are empty. You don't need to see them...

Aw, gee whizz, Dad!

[AltCode]

@Pathduck I don't think it is intentional. I'm still able to use that other very similar "Toggle Developer Tools" command through quick commands.

There was also a problem with using command chains (VB-90317), which is how I normally open the devtools to inspect the UI. Probably a separate issue though.

[Pathduck]

@AltCode Right, thanks for that - I'm still able to open with the other hotkeys (I use Ctrl+Shift+C for inspector)

Maybe I'll start using that instead... Just so used to F12 everywhere.

.....well, then, as one user, I wonder why any development time was spent on them when so many other things need to be done which I do see every day.

[Pesala]

@janrif No development time was spent on them. The Designers are responsible for such changes.

My best guess is that they did that just to pass the time, whilst the build-server was busy compiling the recently completed native TST, so as to be ready for the new Snappie being released in 42' time.

That guess is as good as any other.....
