How do I migrate settings from Opera stable to Opera Developer?

Basically, I want to use Opera 25. I'm currently using 23.

Is there an easy way to do this yet?

Also, I take it Opera Link doesn't work on Blink Opera yet? I have a set of bookmarks I wish to import from Opera 12 on a different PC.

Although it may not be true all the time and not recommmended, usually just copying one profile folder into another works to migrate the settings.

Cool. I've broken a profile going backwards from Developer to Next/Stable so I guess I should just keep a backup before doing it.

So Opera Link?

Always do backups.

They are working on it. For now there is an experimental sync feature that can be enabled on opera:flags (note: sync seems to not be working on lastest builds).

Yes I couldn't get sync to work.

The import process overwrites all settings:

So doing that first, then copying Profile excluding Bookmarks.* mostly did the trick. Bookmarks Bar seems to be a special Bookmarks folder so I think need to do those manually.
