      Thanks, I agree, isn't strictly an Opera 26 problem

      I do nothing ad today Opera 26 open the .mht files (without any forced association)

      yesterday the .mht files didn't open if there was only Opera 26 installed

      Thanks

        MHT-saving/-opening are still working.
        So switching mht-flag (opera://flags/#save-page-as-mhtml) does.

        Delish. Practish. Good.

          I begin to HATE the fact that Opera 26 one day opens .mht files and the day after, without any change on settings, it doesn't open .mht files any more

          THIS IS A VERY UNSATISFACTORY CONDUCT 😞

          K

          My interface is in italian and I'm not able to find where to set the mht-flag (opera://flags/#save-page-as-mhtml) ????

            Oh, may be I didn't say this clear, I haven't problems on saving pages (I save it every day with no problems in .html format

            My problem happens when I want to open pages in .mht format that I saved with previous versions of Opera

              I've just reinstalled Opera 12.16 64bit and now I can open .mht files clikking on it, if I click on a .mht file Opera 12 start and the file is open, if I try to force to open the file with Opera 26 it doesn't open and only a list of folder names

              Ah, I know what your problem is. Opera is no longer associated with the .mht file format. This is easily corrected. >>>Right click the file and go to "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program".

              I tried this many times, NO EFFECT AT ALL

                Well Opera 26 seems to load my old .mht files saved with Firefox correctly. I tried right-click, open with, choose Opera from the list and the file loads properly.
                Also, you can change the .mht to .mhtml and it will load into Opera 26.
                The BIG problem is that Opera 26 doest't save web pages in either "Web page complete" or "Single page" mode!
                If you save a page in "single page" mode, the file will not have the page graphics saved in it and if you save in "web page complete", the file will load into FF or IE but the it is just some html text and nothing else. It does save the graphics in a subdirectory but the pointers in the html file never find them.
                Too bad. This makes this browser totally unusable. I can't work without being able to save & retrieve complete web pages.
                Not ready for prime time!

                  No way to open .mht files saved with old versions of Opera with the latest versions (also Opera 27 didn't open it)

                  renaming the dile from .mht in .mhtml has no effect and the file didn't open in Opera 27

                    Can confirm this.

                      Strange. It works totally fine over here with both mht and mhtml. (flag enabled if that matters)
                      What happens if you right-click a file, select "open with..." -> "choose default program" and select Opera there? (Windows that is)

                        SO how do you open an mht or mhtml file FROM WITHIN Opera 27??

                        In Opera 12, there is a File menu with "Open" as an option. I do not see anywhere in Opera 27 where you can open a file without going to the File Explorer in Windows 7.

                          May be I didn't explained me correctly

                          I've a lot of old .mht files saved with the old version of Opera

                          if I click on one of this file Opera 27 starts but isn't able to open those old .mht files, instead of the file a list of directories is shown

                          if I install on the PC with Opera 27 also Opera 12 and then I click on a .mht file Opera 12 automatically statrs and the file is correctly opened

                          if I've both Opera 27 and 12 installed and I right click on a .mht file and try to open it forcing Opera 27 to be used to open the file, the file isn't opened and appers a list of directories

                          As version of Java I've always the latest version in 32 and 64 bit installed (toghether, at the same time on the PC)

                            I did get you before. It's working over here. Opera 28 opens mhtml files saved with Opera 12 just fine. (Win 10)

                            Again, try to enable the flag. Paste opera://flags/#save-page-as-mhtml into your address bar, press Enter and enable it.

                              I've downloaded and installed Opera 28, then I enabled the flag save-page-as-mhtml, closed the Opera 28, right clikked on

                              a .mht file and selected open with Opera 28 ..... no way to have the file open, only a directory list appears

                              also now if I rightclick on a .mht file and select open with Opera 12 all is fine and the file opens correctly

                              I would like to disinstall the old Opera 12 but seems that there is no way, if I want to have access to my old .mht files

                                Oh, I forgot to point your attention to the fact that I need to open old .mht files, not .mhtml files

                                  File ending doesn't matter here. They are both fine.
                                  Which version of Windows are you using?

                                            I noticed on my system, with Opera 27 (latest version), if I try to open a .mhtml or .html and the name of the file starts with a # then I get a list of directories. If the # is any where else in the name, no matter if it's .mhtml or .html it will not open at all. The error is "This web page not found", I know it's a long shot but try renaming one of the files and see what happens. I also have 12.16 installed all files open normally in that one.
