Can't find the url finding feature
-
Hello.
I'm using Chrome and TabXpert extension.
The TabXPert feature that kills Vivaldi for me is finding across all internal objects (sessions, tabs) in one way. I can find via url and names in TabXPert. Another killer feature is chossing from 2 ways: open finded tab in a tab's session or in a new session!
Now I opened Vivaldi after upgrade and...I still can't find universal find mechanism in Vivaldi. Address field finds tabs and urls only in history and type history. Why not in tabs, sessions and workspaces? I even can't find exact tab in Workspace, I can't see find filed for this. Maybe I'm doing some wrong?!
Fuzzy find logic is a great feature and I believe that it will be implemented in a near future! For all internal objects. -
@poddex welcome to the forum!

Much better. It finds good through workspaces. But it duplicates find results from saved sessions and can't open it in a finded tab's session window, also I can't focus finded tab in a Sessions Panel
Where can I find a diffs between workspaces and sessions, which is best suited for me? I see that fuzzy find work in a workspaces, but I don't need to keep workspaces always in a memory, so session feature is best for me, but it has a strange find mechanism. -
Where you add the url finding feature in thsi field? Through ALL SAVED sessions??
NOT GLOBAL FIND! Only here!!!!
I don't want to find through ALL VIVALDI objects. Only throgh sessions.
And it's a great option - start session frozen. Use it, please! -
That's the sessions panel, I guess you should try the history panel and / or vivaldi://history
-
Still no find through all sessions. I should open each sessions to find tabs in it. So, if I want to find a tab through 30 saved sessions, I should open 30 sessions manually :))))))
Still can't open saved tab in tab's session (when finded from Ctrl-E Quick Search). Hah, not like a PRO.
Still no answer, what a diffs between Workplaces and Sessions? How to save Workplaces? How can I unload Workplaces from memory? How can I close Workplace and then open tab from Search in tab's Workplace? How can I suspend all tabs in workplace?
That's not a PRO features.

@poddex
Hi, workspaces are kind of a window replacement, I have no need for sessions at all using workspaces.
You simply have 20 workspaces instead of 20 sessions, all is reachable from quick commands or the window panel.
You can:
Hibernate inactive workspaces
Hibernate single workspaces
Hibernate background tabs
No idea what you are missing here. -
@mib2berlin Ok, I wanna make 30 workspaces. When I open Vivaldi, how workspaces start? All hibernated except last or "all load to memory"?
I see the hibernate command, but how can I hibernate closed workspaces automatically (after some time)?
Does Vivaldi have a features about auto-suspending tabs after N minutes?
I see tabs from Workspaces in Ctrl-E Search, but it doesn't show the workspace name, only url. Why? Maybe I try something wrong?
How can I backup workspaces? -
@poddex
To open with all workspaces Last Session has to be enabled.
If the (default) setting Lazy Load is enabled only the active tab is loaded all others are hibernated.
It is called memory saver.
I don't search for tabs but I guess the windows panel is better to search tabs in workspaces.
You can add a shortcut to open it.
If you save a session all workspaces are saved too, many users use Automatic Session Backup for this.
Use the search field in settings to find all settings, open help with F1 and search for workspaces for more information. -
How can I open all links from TabXpert in Vivaldi? In which format should I export tabs? I have 3000+ tabs in 20+ sessions and wanna easy move to Vivaldi. How can I make it in a short way?
-
@poddex Sessions in Vivaldi are stored as Chromium Session files.
-
@DoctorG can you help me with a short answer, how can I find Chrome session files? Where they stored and what type of file (extension) should I see? Great thanks.
-
@poddex Open in Explorer this address
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\Sessions\
Alle files in there are important. -
@DoctorG not exactly whay I find.
Can you tell me, how can I open Chrome sessions in Vivaldi? I wanna import all my sessions from Google Chrome to Vivaldi browser. -
@poddex I have no knowledge on a extra tool to convert and import sessions in Vivaldi.
-
Ok, I tried to migrate.
I used Session Buddy extension to save and restore sessions. And I create 5 workspaces: 86, 7, 134, 12 and 91 tabs. BUT.Clean Vivaldi loads within 1 second.
With all that workspaces and some extensions (Session Buddy, Adblock Plus, Tampermonkey and QuicKey) load time became over 1 minute !!! In details - Vivaldi windows opens, but I can't do anymore, interface freezed until (?) all workspaces loads (??). And this behavior is actual for empty start workspace!!! EMPTY!
When I use workspace with 86 tabs as a last workspace, I even can't see the Vivaldi window right now after start for 15-20 sec.
I wonder. Hibernated tabs and workspaces are simple text files with 0 RAM - while there are so hard to start??
-
And there is a huge CPU load when started with all these workspaces. 80-100% within 30-45 seconds - why?
