@darklancer212 Probably but there are few chances that they will answer.

@leocg Is there any way to send these requests straight to the producers of Opera?

@darklancer212 Nope, the forums and the blog are the places to do requests.

@leocg Opera has just released a new update for Opera on Windows 7.

It is version 51.

I was hoping there would be a fix for my favicons.

@darklancer212 If they are going to implement your requested feature, it will be in a far future most probably.

I've just bookmarked some sites with new Opera 51 but the custom favicons aren't loading.

@darklancer212 What do you mean? So you set thumbnail and it reverts back to another one?

A Former User @leocg last edited by A Former User

@leocg No.

I newly bookmarked some sites but the thumbnails in the bookmarks won't load from default to an easier thumbnail that makes bookmark browsing easier.

I just want all my bookmarks to have their custom bookmark thumbnails.

@darklancer212 When you bookmark a page, you choose an image to be the thumbnail. What picture Opera chooses as the default one may depend on several factors, including some related to the page itself.

I'm updating my post.

Can there be a fix to restore my bookmarks and bookmark thumbnails back to the state of the 18th of January 2018?
Exactly as they were?
I don't want the bookmarks to look any different.

Bear in mind, I have deleted some bookmarks since the issue started but I have also added some new bookmarks.
Some other bookmarks have different thumbnails than before.

There is a Favicons file in Opera's profile. If you get back your favicons, try backing that up to prevent losing the favicons again.

@concretable I'm hoping there might be a fix to restore them back to a previous time.

BTW, how would I back them up?

@darklancer212 Can bookmark thumbnails last inside a file?

What if all the bookmark thumbnails are contained within a profile?

What if the thumbnails just aren't showing?

What if the crash forced them to hide away or something like that?

By the way, some of my older bookmarks need their old thumbnails restored.
Some are loaded with the wrong ones.

BookmarksExtras, I would say.

The crash most probably damaged some of the files in Opera's profile folder, what did the thumbnails to be re-fetched.

@leocg Can these favicons files be restored back to their former state before the crash?

@darklancer212 Do you have a backup?

A Former User @leocg last edited by A Former User

@leocg No. Not before the crash.

I didn't think of it at the time.

I downloaded a file from my profile called favicons.
I look at in pdf format.
It says it may have been damaged or the file type is not supported.

I clicked on some pdf files that may have been the thumbnails but it said they no longer existed.

But what about extras?
That shows a whole page of letters and numbers and it has a file size of 15.9mb.
Can these thumbnails from before the 19th of January be inserted back into the bookmarks?
Keep the bookmarks original?

I told you that. There is a file in Opera's profile called Favicons. Back that up and it should save the favicons.

@concretable That file is related to the favicons of the pages added to the bookmarks bar.

@darklancer212 Because it's not a PDF file. It's probably a data base file.

The same is valid for BookmarksExtras.
