I just use the auto-updater. It likely leaves traces, but I don't care about them.Ennovy wrote:What if an update arrives? Can you describe what's the best way to update?
Vivaldi's newborn (& already public) database entry states: "Writes settings to: Application folder: /User Data", but doesn't mention that some settings (... Which ones ? Stored at HKCU\SOFTWARE\Vivaldii ?) are lost when Vivaldi's no-install folder is moved between PCs.joby_toss wrote:saves multiple settings in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Vivaldi [...] issues with losing some preferences when switching computers

Perhaps some sort of remark on the entry to alert potential users ?
@joby_toss Thank you!joby_toss wrote:Sure, here's what I do:
-extract the new installer in the same way (steps 1&2)
-enter Application folder from existing version and delete the launcher vivaldi.exe and the folder containing the app itself, the one with the numbers (1.6.689.40)
-copy from the new version the new numbered folder (1.7.725.3) and the new vivaldi.exe launcher file
Basically you need to keep your User Data folder and the stp.viv file.
I just don't understand why they don't allow the profile folder to be saved inside Application folder (it has to be one level up)...
Likely reason for that is support for delta updates. A delta update contains the difference, or delta, relative to the previous version, which is useless on its own (without the previous vivaldi.7z).freakazoid wrote:If you use the standalone installer, Vivaldi copies the entire vivaldi.7z and setup.exe file into its folder. Uncompressed filesize when using this method is 326 MB.
