Is there a Reload All Tabs Functionality/Shortcut for Vivaldi?

zvptd

On a restart, Vivaldi opens up with all the tabs I had left open - a neat and much-appreciated functionality.
However, these tabs get reloaded only when I visit each one of them.

Is there a Shortcut to reload all tabs in Vivaldi?
Can we have a Vivaldi to reload all tabs automatically on startup/restart?

Not yet. It's a practical feature which will surely come at some point.

Edit: for now you can multi-select all your tabs and then right-click/reload them all at once.

Or, until this feature is built into Vivaldi, use one of the many 'Reload Tabs' extensions.

Edit: I've just tried one such extension called 'Awesome Reload All Tabs Button'. This one seems to force a reload of all tabs at the start of a session, without the reload button being clicked. Ideal behavior for my needs..

Feature request filed.

... but not yet implemented, or?

This could be implemented by attaching a button that executes the following: chrome.tabs.query({}, tabs => {tabs.forEach(tab => {chrome.tabs.reload(tab.id)})})

I think selecting all and reloading with context menu is fine, as long as you don't have to do it too often.

@LonM As I found out yesterday, using chrome apis like this doesn't work. Both the custom.js file and the user files are content scripts and only a limited number of chrome apis work directly (eg storage). This would probably have to be done as extension. Well, at least I don't know right now how to run a background script in the application context – it should be possible I guess. Let me know if you find out.

@luetage I managed to get it working in my "Custom Buttons" mod. There are some chrome.* APIs you can't use, but vivaldi's UI (and by extension mods) does have full access to chrome.tabs.*

luetage

@lonm You're right. I just remembered I'm actually using chrome.tabs in a mod. But this would mean custom.js isn't a content script? And how do I find out which chrome.apis work, trial and error?

trial and error

Pretty much ️‍️

luetage

@lonm Meh, it would be really nice, if the devs provided us with a list of working apis

That was the reason for my request
Updating two web pages, German and English versions, both side-by-side in Vivaldi – and first tried reloading both tiled pages in one step with F5. No chance...

There is a way to reload all open tabs,

-- Open the Vivaldi Side Panel
-- Select Window
-- Right-click (on top level Window Group) to view menu
-- Select Reload

@otto Thanks for this hint!

Maybe as an alternative solution to the above mentioned addon "Awesome Reload All Tabs Button"

otto

@webaschtl Yup, that's two solutions then

FYI - I'm running Vivaldi 5.3.2679.70 and could not anymore find the recommended "Awesome Reload All Tabs Button" Extension in the chrome web store July 2022. Instead I installed the similar extension "Reload All Tabs" from mohamedmansour.com

Result: After closing and restarting Vivaldi it completely crashed my profile. Vivaldi did not start any more - no error message.

Workaround: Starting with --disable-extensions is possible but of course not a single extension working any more and it's not possible to remove/delete the bad extension...

It took me half an hour, luckily here's the solution how to fix the problem: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/75871/vivaldi-crash-on-load-how-can-i-manually-remove-culprit-extension

This is meant to be a warning, be CAREFUL when installing extensions - Vivaldi might not start up again and your profile can get "lost" (!!)
