@andrew84 Many thanks for your insightfullness and warning.

Opera is developing, no doubt, but what aims are the most important to us, common users? Players? It depends etc

Apart from all what was published here I have problems discerning the heavily intertwined mentioned issues - once they look like bugs, once as requests. The same problem appears with my suggestions.

For example, I am all for the tiles function(s) similar to those found in Vivaldi, but I do not want a carbon copy of Vivaldi team solutions. I see you, Opera dev team, may and are able to apply users' ideas without much efforts.

Tell me please then, where I should place the necessary options (for tiles) I asked for to have a shadow of hope they would be read by the right people from Opera dev circles? Here are the "tile necessities" and more:

Why you need to synchronize two windows and how?
Workspaces - synchronize windows' slides
Workspaces - desynchronize show/hide options
Workspaces - desynchronize icons

Vertical lines in Sidebar windows are not movable
Bookmarks page has hidden movable border line
Some vertical division lines on setting pages are not
movable

Sidebar opening/closing windows is inconsistent
Sidebar - total mishmash

Up the ante of Opera effectiveness
Open thumbnails too in directory with images
Opera does not play playlists (*.pls)

@andrew84 Many thanks for your insightful attitude and warning. BTW Isn't this forum thread present there in part only? As I know the first posts are visible only, then readers are being sent to the forum for full list.

1. I'm logged in, I see both my posts.

2. That's what I'm concerned of. I always try to document and illustrate my bugs and requests, but all the efforts may be washed down with all other requests from and on that prolific arena of "Suggestions and feature requests" page.

@andrew84 Ok, Ok. I got it. There're no next posts. I am/was publishing from forum:
https://forums.opera.com/topic/45110/opera-74-0-3876-0-developer-update/24

Definitively I need to delete one of my posts.
Tough! Too late!

@pavelopdev comparing to the previous commenting system (disqus) it's very inconvenient now because they publish changelogs and announcement in the blog, but it's impossible to post pictures/gifs from the blog comments form. Also, in the blog there is a tree view in contrast to this forum. And posts editing time limit is very short (30min).

@andrew84 You can view the conversations in a tree view mode here too, it's just not automatic.

@leocg yes, but it's a bit another thing, all the comments from trees are duplicated below.

@leocg Firstly, thank you for helping in deleting my post's copy.
Secondly, how to switch to the tree view?

leocg Moderator Volunteer @Guest last edited by

@pavelopdev You can't switch to tree view exactly but if you click on X Reply(ies) on the bottom left of a post, you can see the replies to it and follow the conversation.

1. Improve the video pop-out. Make it like in the yandex browser currently and like it worked previously in Opera (before Chromium's popup implementation) https://forums.opera.com/post/225402
2. New Player popup should be improved too, add volume control (click icon to mute/unmute) and allow fast forwarding by clicking the progress line.
   
   *also, the big problem for me on youtube music is the ads are not blocked in the player panel. In the main window the block is working fine.

@andrew84 and in light mode the control buttons and progress line don't look great being the simply black. I guess some gray or light blue should be used (maybe the color of sidebar icons can be used)

*also, in dark mode youtube icon is white for some reason, in light mode the icon is correct red.

@andrew84 That's exactly why I christened Vivaldi as "80% Browser". A lot of options/functions finished in 80% and with no slightest chance to change the status quo. With all my requests/asks/begs I was able to wallpaper my rooms, at best. Other reasonable users could do the same.

I got still the deep hope new Opera will not follow Vivaldi's path.

@pavelopdev Next two examples what to polish in Opera Dev, voice similar to @andrew84's one above.

1]
I've tried to move the last fifth item in Site panels to second place. The free area for it was created (see Fig. 1) - the first item and the second one have spread up and down a little. When I released mouse button after moving parler.com website where I wanted it to be, the movable part got back to the original position (fifth from top). No change.

[Fig. 1] Changing website's order via drag'n'drop, failed.

2]
I vote to increase websites limit in Site panels, 5 items is too restrictive.
