        @leocg Come on, there has to be some way?

        I'm very desperate here.

        It's not my fault I never thought something like this would happen.

        Can't some sort of system be made to recover page icons from a previous time?

          @darklancer212 The only chance would be, maybe, by restoring your profile folder from a backup from that time. However you would loose all information got from that time to today.

          Even if a restore feature would be implemented, it wouldn't be able to restore anything prior to when it was introduced because it wasn't made any backups yet.

              @darklancer212 In this case, I don't think anything can be done. You will need to restore the thumbnails manually.

                @leocg But that will take god knows how long and some of them won't be the same as before.

                Surely an even quicker and more instant system can be made?

                  @leocg Just curious.

                  If I had made a backup, how would I re-upload it?

                    @darklancer212 upload to where? You would just paste it into the new profile folder.

                      @leocg If only I had done that much earlier.
                      Oh well, just for future reference.

                        @leocg said in Opera 50 - Bookmark Favicons Reloader:

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

                        I found that locking the Favicons file prevented any favicons getting into the bookmarks. I have all the bookmarks on the bookmarks bar, so maybe that is why it worked for me.

                          @concretable I've had a thought.

                          Are favicons also stored on hard drives but hidden?

                          If so, I could use a program called Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery.

                            Why would the favicons be hidden? If they are in the profile (and where else would they be?), then the file would be in there. I did not want any favicons in my bookmarks, so I tried locking the Favicons file and that did the trick.
