I finally upgraded to the 10 alpha today and something is a bit annoying. As far as I can tell, everything about the new version is the same to me, except it's faster (and as I'm typing this post, I can tell the inline spellchecker is awesome), which is all good in the hood. However, I like to keep a search dialog open on my personal bar for Wikipedia, Amazon and Google. Whenever I close Opera (as I do a lot) and reopen it later, the boxes are always gone :(

I've tried looking through the Opera forums and through this thread for a while and I can't find any solutions, or even anyone else having the problem. Help?

Have you tried:
  1. Right-clicking the address bar
  2. Customize
  3. Check Personal Bar?

If that doesn't work, then... learn to love keywords?

I made Opera follow iTunes Store links and open iTunes automatically, but after doing so, Opera or Windows can't figure out which program to open the link with.

How do I revert my change?

There's a new alpha out on the Desktop team blog. Nothing huge added except auto crash reporting.

Doesn't look any more amazing than it usually does for me? :confused:

If you're talking about them changing it to the crappy 1994 style webpage filled with annoying animated gifs, I've seen that, but I don't get that page if I just go to www.opera.com

I've always wondered: What the hell are "Separators" in Bookmarks, and how do I use them fruitfully? My bookmarks are a mess, even though I try to organize them, so an additional way to manage the mess would be great.

They are exactly what they sound like, you just need to switch the view to Sort by My Order to use them.
I am not familiar with iTunes, but you might be able to remove it from the Programs section in advanced preferences.

And I've always been getting by with having them in separate labeled folders... but putting them in folders made using the bookmarks menu item annoying, and when using the bookmarks panel the links were displayed indented a few pixels off the edge of the window (a la windows explorer)

Now they're no longer indented on the panel - which saves me some screen real estate. (Also - bookmarks panel + F4 shortcut rules)

Cheers for bringing this to my attention, Zuffox!

I'm trying Opera on OSX
My main problem is the scroll wheel is way too sensitive.
With Safari/Firefox, the behavior is normal. But with Opera, it's so sensitive that the little movement generated by middle clicking causes the page to scroll.
How can I change that? There's nothing in Preferences that I could see.

Preferences -> Advanced -> Browsing -> Smooth Scrolling. See if enable or disabling changes anything.

Weird. The latest build available in portage (4345) has the nice crash handler with reporting, but it crashes way more often. Worse is that the tab that triggered the crash will still be in your session so you can't resume a lot of the time, as it will just crash again. I'm not particularly amused by this.

On the plus side, Qt Native style is back.

I'm having the exact same problem and AFAIK there's no fix. It's the one thing that I always hope they'd fix but I'm invariably disappointed when each new version comes out without a fix.

Since for me the biggest downfall of Opera is its apparent diarrhea when it comes to distributing its config/settings files all over my OS, i finally switched over to Opera@USB and im loving it so far (since i have to switch pcs/dual boot different OS often). Has anybody here tried it before and found a huge flaw? If not just see this as a recommendation.

I've been using Opera@USB for a couple of years now. There's a 10 alpha version somewhere on the myopera forums too. I like that I can zip up the entire folder and copy it to another computer and retain my settings/passwords/searches.

Opera Mini loving owns. If you use Opera link to synchronize, all your bookmarks and notes are available to you in Opera Mini as well. Plus it supports fit-to-width, which is really great when you're actually trying to read something.

A QVGA sized peephole into a web page designed for 1024 pixels wide browser window gets old pretty fast.

Too bad Opera Mobile doesn't support new Nokia phones, but Opera Mini works better than it has any right to.

Alright, I REALLY want to make Opera my standard browser, but I'm still having problems with the address bar title context search not functioning correctly. For example, if I have:

http://www.ndesign-studio.com/

in my history, and type in "studio", I get no results, despite the page title clearly having "Studio" in it.

Anyways, how are Opera's web development tools? I'm somewhat tinkering with them now, but I really hate having to double click on properties/elements etc. to edit them. I like just being able to edit the text itself. Is there a feature or I'm failing to see?

I just clicked your link, closed the tab, opened a new tab, entered "studio" and it offered me that URL. Sometimes if it's way back in the history you might need to wait a bit.

There's another new snapshot build out. I went and downloaded it the old-fashioned way because I forgot that auto-update is functional right now. :v: That aside, there's a long-rear end changelog in the link.

The interesting thing is that there's an issue with browser sniffing scripts that don't like the number 10 in the user-agent string. Apparently, that means that Opera 10's user-agent is going to be Opera 9.8.

Maybe we're getting close to RC/final.

Okay, so they're giving up on the user agent version string issue. When the first weeklies came out, they said that using a version string such as "Opera 9.9 (10, really)" would just lead to "Opera 9.999 (10, really)[no, actually, it's 11]{seriously though, it's 12}"

9.8 sounds like they are synchronizing the minor version with IE's major version. When the world is ready for Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0), it's ready for Opera 13 or whatever.
