| Name | Description | Path |

top_sites_path |
Stores the path to the "Top Sites" file of Vivaldi which stores the thumbnails. | Windows: C:/Users/<User>/AppData/Local/Vivaldi/User Data/Default/Top Sites OS X: /Users/<User>/Library/Application Support/Vivaldi/Default/Top Sites Linux: /home/<User>/.config/vivaldi-snapshot/Default/Top Sites |
bookmark_path |
Stores the path to the "Bookmark" file of Vivaldi which stores among other things the bookmark id and its name. | Windows: C:/Users/<User>/AppData/Local/Vivaldi/User Data/Default/Bookmarks OS X: /Users/<User>/Library/Application Support/Vivaldi/Default/Bookmarks Linux: /home/<User>/.config/vivaldi-snapshot/Default/Bookmarks |
Important:
- You need to replace
<User>with your own user name. - When modifying or replacing the paths make sure you only use
/. You need to replace all backslashes when copying a Windows path from the explorer!
- Close all instances of vivaldi before running the script
- The original files will be backed up in the working directory of the script
The thumbnails fetched are twitter thumbnails for the given site. So images might be incorrect in certain cases. As favicons are very small this is the best option right now. Please dont bash me for this.
