Opera 12 and Opera 26

You can only automatically sort bookmarks A>Z, or by manually dragging their tiles around in the bookmarks manager.
But if you have hundreds of bookmarks in X folders und subfolders, you go crazy when you have to click on every single folder. Opera 26 is still missing an autosort like opera 12.x (from A to Z, with folders and links sorted separately) or as an alternative an one-click-sort-erverything-including-subfolders-option.

Yes, it can, but you need to enable (advanced) power user settings.
how do I do that? It's not in flags?

From O-12 we badly miss earlier "Send Link by Mail" on a mouse right press menu, from a web page, for rapid transmission of its URL to the open "New Message" of my default e-mail program. All it required was adding the sender's address. As someone who frequently sends links, or other selected web material from web sites, O-26 seems to require 4 steps now: Copy URL, bring up E-mail program, select "New Message" and then Paste. Does anyone have a better answer for 26? Thomas

Thanks for your response - could you be a bit more specific please as I've not found an extension for this?

Try this Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/share-link-via-email/ejdbkikfbnnhmachnnomjfgjbgkcnjkb?hl=en-GB
First you'll need to install the "Download Chrome Extension" to be able to install the extension above from the Chrome store.

Thanks again - I tried your 2nd site which worked fine, but then, the 1st.site produced this reponse:
No search results for 'https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/share-link-via-email/ejdbkikfbnnhmachnnomjfgjbgkcnjkb?hl=en-GB'
Really appreciate your attempt to help and I wonder what went wrong when I attempted to follow your recommendations?

Thanks - I've got it downloaded and I see it in C:\ but cannot get the folder to open. Really weird. Any other ideas out there?

So it seems you need an extension to add this extension to Opera 26, right??

Yes, but that (download chrome extension) allows any Chrome extension to be installed from the Chrome store into Opera (Blink) and functions just like a native Opera extension. Plus it only has to be installed once, and not for every Chrome extension one wished to install.

I am still in limbo like you guys... still on opera 12.16 because of the bookmark problem. Whilst waiting tried Firefox again (because a lot of sites still say they dont take opera) imported Opera bookmarks into FF some trashing but acceptable.... but still like the speed in Opera so I imported the firfox stuff back into 12.16... it show it as "firefox bookmarks" (dont seem to be able to move to top level) but all workable again----- until Opera gets its act sorted out

p.s perhaps someone can comment as Opera now uses Crome ..... does Google see everything we do?

Implying Google doesn't already see everything you do.
Nah, its just built on their renderer. I'm sure they changed all the tracking elements built into it to forward all that info to Opera instead of Google.

The above comment went out in error - my apologies to everyone. In sum - I found nothing in "Chrome Extensions" to address the problem I initially wrote about: a one step URL transmission to my Live Mail program (as in O-12 via "Send Link by Mail" ), of a link, or entire web page. While I thank you all for trying to help, it looks like I will join many others in staying with 12.17 for its much greater flexibility (including the excellent bookmarks facility) - putting up with its somewhat slower speed and occasional incompatibility issues with certain websites. O-26 now really has no advantage over other browsers. IMHO. Thomas

Sorry I couldn't help you. I was just looking through the Chrome store and found this:
Share web pages, images, and links by email or Gmail.
Use this extension to share a web page, an image, or a link with other people using your email or Gmail account. You can use a button or Chrome's right-click context menu. The extension also works with external email programs (like Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird).
Is this what you are looking for? If so, just type in send link by email or gmail and you'll find the extension.

Thanks - yes I did see this one yesterday but didn't pursue it far enough as I thought it only worked with G-mail. I'll try it again when I have more time. Will let you know how I like it. T.
