@wolfgangw latest version is 99.0.4788.31/, check if the problem still happens in that version.

Yes!! I updated to the new version 99.0.4788.31. Nothing new (thumbnails are there but won't open as background)

Can't you solve my problem that some pictures (about 10%) are suitable as a background and others (about 90%!) not??
However, all downloaded images are available as thumbnails!!

Hello!!

4 days ago I asked you a question regarding my problem, why don't you answer?

@wolfgangw Because no one has a solution?

@wolfgangw Most logical guess would be to think of something related to format and size.

What a pity that you cannot help me!
It's very strange:
All images are formatted in JPEG, various sizes!
And yet some (about 10%) are accepted as background, others are not (although the same size)!!
Maybe it's OPERA?

@wolfgangw If you upload the problem images somewhere, we can test to see if we have the same issue in our Operas or not.

@wolfgangw Those all work for me, but it looks like the forum modifies them etc. Can you zip up the 3 pics, upload the zip file somewhere and link to it?

I tried but the zip file won't link.
the following message:
"ERROR: You do not have sufficient permission to perform this action!"
So far I thank you for your help and the associated time!

@wolfgangw You can't upload a Zip file here, you need to upload it some other place and post the link to it here, as said

How does it work?:
'upload somewhere else and post the link to it here'.
I've tried different ways but it doesn't work!!

@wolfgangw Upload the zip file to any file hosting service, then post the link given bu that service here.

Sorry, I don't have a file hosting service and I don't want to create one (for cost reasons)!
Is there no other possibility?

[leocg]

leocg Moderator Volunteer @WolfgangW last edited by

@wolfgangw There are free ones. And no, there is no other possibility.

It's a shame there aren't any other options!
I don't want to create a file hosting service, that's too cumbersome for me.
Thank you again for your effort and time!
Yours sincerely, Wolfgang Wüstner

@wolfgangw You don't need to create anything, just upload the file to an existing free one and paste the given link here.

But if you don't want ....
