To test it try closing opera, reopening it and then immediately closing it again. It should close pretty much instantly. But why would this be the case of I have disk cache set to 20MB and the checkbox that says "Empty on exit" is not checked?

Don't ask me why but opera doesn't delete anything in the cache while it's running. If it's set to 20MB it deletes old stuff until there's only 20MB left in it. If you check "Empty on exit" then it deletes everything when you exit. Sometimes I don't close it for weeks and I end up with over a gig in the cache until I close it.

Ugh. Okay that's ridiculous but at least it explains everything. Maybe I'll try just disabling disk cache, unless that means "use disk cache and delete everything when you exit."

Betas generally need to be more stable because they're much more widely advertised. If you don't follow the Opera Desktop Team blog, it's unlikely you would have seen any of the pre-alphas, but the 10.50 beta is linked from the main Opera download page.

Is anyone elses Opera Beta really unstable? Mine crashes way too often to be my every day browser. I wonder if it's because I've been updating after each of the builds, maybe I should wipe it and reinstall the beta.

I've found that the important thing when you've having crashy test versions and want to start over, is not cleaning out the program install directory, but getting rid of your configuration and profile information in your application data folder.

Right now, with 7 tabs open, it's using 243 MB. Memory usage in Opera is a tricky thing, because if you set the memory cache to "auto" it will gobble up free memory to expand the cache and make browsing faster. This is by design, obviously, and you can turn it off if you don't like it doing that. The problem people have been seeing with the 10.50 series so far is leaks in the creation/release of GDI objects, which is an entirely different thing and unrelated to how much memory it's using.

RoadCrewWorker posted:This doesn't sound right - from >6 hours of usage with ~15 tabs and 470 MB of ram the 10.10 process closes in ~5-8 seconds after disposing the window. If it's just disposing objects the time should be directly proportional to memory use. 30 to 60 seconds of shutdown time regardless of state happens on none of my machines with none of my opera installs. yeah I don't know, my computer/opera runs 24/7 and its always been sluggish to quit and especially to open, on every install/machine I've had since XP.

It normally wakes up in <5 seconds, but today the screen sat black for close to a minute, and when it woke up it was unresponsive and opera was sitting at 100%.

Opera open sources Dragonfly.Opera Software posted:Since the inception of Opera Dragonfly, we planned for it to become an open source project. It has always been released under an open source BSD licence, but the source repositories were on Opera servers. Starting today, Opera Dragonfly is a fully open source project, hosted on BitBucket. Since the previous version of Opera Dragonfly, a lot of work has gone on behind the scenes replacing the existing architecture with a modern version of the Scope Protocol – STP-1. Opera Dragonfly has been rewritten to use this faster and more efficient version of Scope. Now that we believe that the underlying protocol is stable and performant, and a public desktop build has been released with this included, it is time to put Opera Dragonfly on a public Mercurial repository. They're obviously trying to fight off Firebug. Hope this works out for them.

Is it a known issue that Opera 10.10 does not allow QuickTime Movies to be downloaded? I just updated to 10.10. I seem to have lost the ability to download embedded movies (works n Safari for the same page). (Search yields some people reporting similar problems with the only proposed solution being don't use QT, which is all well and good but. (After downbgrading to 9.64, I have found that yes indeed it is a 10.10 bug. Dammit, Now my mail is broken, and my personal bar is whacked) kapalama fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Feb 20, 2010 |

Is there a way to zero out the Opera Link on their servers? I stopped using it a while back because it never stopped duplicating everything, but I need to down grade to 9.64 to get back the broken QuickTime functionality. Edit: (Rube Goldberg method) 1. Create new account on computer. 2. Synchronize with Opera Link on New account. 3. Erase all bookmarks Notes and Speed Dials on local computer. 4. Synchronize with Opera Link (It seems like there should be a more direct method to do this, but...) kapalama fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Feb 20, 2010 |

Aunt Beth posted:Has anyone been having issues with in-page searches (the ones where you hit . and start typing)? I'll hit . and type and nothing will happen until I physically click the 'find next' button. I just set down for a few hours this morning and figured this out. My search.ini file automatically breaks Find. Whether I copy it from a previous installation or use Opera Link, it's a murder file. Try removing your search.ini and see how a rebooted Opera behaves. I did a total clean sweep and rebuilt my searches by hand (which was a pain) and "find as you type" seems to be working for me finally. A question regarding "." or Ctrl-F find, does ESC automatically close the Find bar? Because mine doesn't even on the cleanest of installations (literally no Opera Link, no previous files, uniquely named Folder) and it seems like it should. Edit: So here's the deal. It appears Opera requires that you keep the original entry for "Find in Page" in your searches. You can change the keystroke assignment but if you delete it and rebuild it it will break Find-in-page. It's perfectly repeatable for me. Some time ago I rebuilt my searches to make them better organized and in the process broke the new Find in the process. And two attempts at hand rebuilding my searches revealed that Opera loves that entry in the custom searches and will be a spiteful bitch if you ever delete it.

^^^ Neat. I verified that solution with my install, but then I opened my search.ini and pulled out a lot of cruft that had built up in it over time, especially a lot of searches were marked 'deleted' but were still present. I have a hunch that the 'find in page' search may have caused some issues. I completely obliterated that entry (and a bunch more of the default type entries), and now my inline search works just wonderfully. So one way or the other, we're both back in business!

I've still got my untouched 10.10 install. Back to the uninstall/delete cycle to track this problem down. Edit: Just to be clear, if you press Ctrl-F and then press ESC, it immediately closes the Find Bar, right?
