Workspaces – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2970.3

Ok, yes there is definately a problem here. Hmm…
I have updated the known issues. Thanks to both of you for the reports!

@rseiler: You don't need the full UA, the client hit would do it and yes we are considering it.

More (tab) features? I'd like to see you to start fixing bugs more. The quality of the browser is declining and you push more features. I'm sorry to be so negative but the growing number of bugs is really starting to annoy. E.g. current tab features have so many bugs and design faults that for a long time already I have avoided using many tab features. I listed some of these bugs in some recent blog post already so I'm not going to repeat. IMO Vivaldi is on a wrong path now, prioritizing too much pushing new features (and many of them are implemented very quickly and not polished, and then abandoned, e.g. disable autoplay videos) while bugs accumulate.

Workspaces is a nice concept, but without containerization they are nothing. I.e. Workspaces that do not share cookies. For example, being logged-in in the same site with 2 different usernames. As far as I know, only Firefox does it right, so must Vivaldi.
Forget Profiles, like you already described it, that's not the way to do it, it's a PITA, cumbersome and counter-productive. Just do it like FIrefox.

If you reported these bugs, then you can ask for a status update in the thread https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/27450/what-is-the-status-of-vb-already-reported-bug-issue

You can also have stacks within your workspaces!
This is precisely what I do. Have a workspace called "Bugs", and in there I have one stack for each platform, like "Desktop, "Android" and "iOS".
We are interested in the 'Top Secret Project' stack.

Any video how this thing supposed to work?
I'm not hula hooping tabs.

A nice benefit of the workspaces is that they are shared among windows. Each workspace can only be open in one window, but the list of workspaces is there. Thus you can build a lot of virtual windows and accidentally closing a window will not loose the tabs open in its workspace. It is another way to organize your work. Personally I like the combination of stacks and workspaces.
I had seen the experimental version of workspace mentioned before but now I've actually tried it I see that it can help me organise my wife's clutter... she has the habit of opening mutiple tabs with TV shows she wants to watch some time, and will sometimes open a new window which she again fills up with multiple tabs of stuff. It often happened that I came along and closed what I thought was "the open Vivaldi" expecting her tabs to be saved for next time, then found out I had only closed one set of tabs while there was another one hiding in the background! That meant I had to restore all the closed tabs before closing Vivaldi so she would have everything next time she opened it.
I tried rationalising her tabs to stop this happening - by adding all the never-watched tabs to the reading list then closing them - but she never took to this and started tab-hoarding again. Hopefully, I can now persuade her to start using workspaces instead of multiple windows... then I won't have a headache when I need to close Vivaldi on her desktop.

since last or previous snapshot i can no longer right click tab to move it to a window of another profile. I tried drag and dropping tabs, but that doesn't work as well - it shows me the hint to drop a tab, but dropping does nothing
is this broken?
or my mind plays tricks and this was never a feature?
-
hm, closing a window with workspace selected crashes vivaldi for me. each time. i just created myself 5 workspaces on my main profile (i have two windows open right now) and i have 2nd profile open too (2 windows, no workspaces here)
-
@ruarí: Developers, now you just need to do something very interesting, put sound effects in Vivaldi like OPERA GX has in your browser, they are very good sounds and pleasant to listen to, very smooth, if possible put them in, Vivaldi will be very good. install OPERA GX to see what I'm talking about.
Thanks. -
@carlinhosnewstyle That must be the 6th time you have written that post verbatim
-
@Ruarí I think it's the 4th time, I think nobody cares about what I've been talking about for over 2 years, look, there are comments here on the forum talking about it in December 2020, so far, nothing has been done. Several users commenting on this.
-
@carlinhosnewstyle You request has been noted. No plans at the moment but I am not saying never.
My point here is that you have two previous identical just from the last 3 days alone. We are all for feature requests but please don't just copy and paste the exact same request for every snapshot

great to see that I can also switch workspaces.
Is there a way to move the workspace button to the right of the tab bar or any other toolbar for that matter? I don't like it on the left, I'd rather have it with the sync and trashcan icon, I feel that would be a little less clutter.
Usually on Win11 running Vivaldi Snapshot builds. Opinionated about working efficiently with email. Folders are evil | Mail workflow: receive, read, reply, mark as read, done.

@WildEnte Right click on the button and untick, show in the tab bar
Then open the toolbar editor for the navigation toolbar and locate the "Workspaces" button (highlighted blue in my image below) and drag it to some other location.
EDIT: Ok I read that again. You cannot move it on the tab bar, which is what it seems you want to do but you can place it in the adress bar, status bar or on the panel in any location you like.
-
@Ruarí Thank you for clarifying, I am reassured that you have plans for the future. I'll be waiting for apologies for anything, it's just that I was under the impression that the Vivaldi team wasn't seeing the comments about suggestions that people had already made more than 3 years ago. on the forum and until now it has never been done.
Anyway, I'm grateful for your attention.

I didn't actually say that, I said
No plans at the moment but I am not saying never.
We try to do many requests but not all. Its true that it has been requested for a while but not many have mention it since then (4 people total?). The total number of requests is certainly not the only criteria for why we might do something but it is one of them.

Sure would be nice if the tab bar were also a full fledged toolbar
