Unsolved How to create a standalone app for vivaldi://calendar?

[igorsantos07]

I tried the usual path with the --app=vivaldi://calendar executable option, but that opened a window complaining that chrome://calendar doesn't exist. Quoting didn't help either.

Could we call this a bug, since it's trying to redirect to a Chrome URI instead of handling that by itself when running from --app?

@igorsantos07 Hi - the calendar is not a separate app. The calendar is part of the app called Vivaldi.

See chrome://apps for the list of installed apps.

I don't know how you got the idea this would work?

Hi, the --app switch open a web page as app but the mail/calendar is not a web page, it is an extension in Vivaldi.
This is not a bug, it's simply not possible even it would be nice to have it.

Cheers, mib

@Pathduck I got the idea this would work simply because it works with other URLs, and the Calendar opens on Vivaldi just like any other tab does - with an address bar with its URI. It even works if you use that option with other similar URIs like -app=chrome://extensions. I guess you might be confusing --app (which accepts any(?) URI) with --app-id (which accepts an installed app ID).

@mib2berlin any chance you're able to explain what's the difference, given it still opens as a tab with a URI? And it even works with --app=chrome://extensions, for instance... Thus, it would be plausible for any vivaldi:// address to work as well?
It's also possible to use chrome-extension://... to open extensions installed in Vivaldi as standalone apps, btw (just like I always did with Chrome). So, as far as the end user is concerned, anything with a URI should be openable via --app - hence, calling it a bug. Makes sense?

@igorsantos07 No matter how you look at it - it's never going to work.

Vivaldi itself is an app, as you would've seen in the Apps list - and the calendar is not a url, it's part of the Vivaldi app.

When you launch Vivaldi with --app what you're doing is launching a plain Chromium window. Basically like doing --disable-vivaldi

It's never going to work how much you try or argue the semantics

[igorsantos07]

Hmmmmm I think I got what you mean. This interaction between the Chromium base and the Vivaldi exterior isn't as straightforward as I'm trying to put it, I guess haha

I wonder if this should be considered the other way around, then - since it's not exactly accessible via URI outside the full Vivaldi browser, it would make sense if it didn't show vivaldi://calendar on the address bar?

Edit: I guess this wouldn't have any relationship with this old post of yours?
