[quote]Did you reinstall Opera 30 after have installed Opera 12.17?[/quote]
On laptop? Yes. I've installed Opera 30, then Opera 12.17 then reinstalled Opera 30 twice - Once keeping user data , and the other time as a clean install, still can't see Opera 12.17 in import menu.
On PC? I have had Opera for years so Opera 30 was installed afterwards. I'd like to avoid reinstalling Opera, it survived so many bizzare events, including partial file system failiure (imagine disabling mirror RAID, running from one disc only and then restarting RAID with mismatched data like nothing ever happened instead of rebuilding disk 2 from disk 1), I think that it has even survived manual copying from Windows XP to Windows 7, or at least one system reinstall
[quote]You have the import option in settings.[/quote]
That's the thing that does not see Opera 12.xx at all on my laptop and imports some random stuff (obsolete default SpeedDial and history) on my PC -

I've never had the Opera 12 import option on my later Opera installs either, up to and including the latest developer version.
My Opera 12 is installed for a single user (with the profile folder within the Program Files\Opera folder not in a Windows user folder) and I've always thought that might be the issue.

To quote someone, Mibars, you can either use the quoting button or start a new line with a "greater than" character.

Not sure if they changed something but the data import from Opera Presto should be done automatically.
What happens if you set Opera 12.17 as your default browser and then reinstall Opera 30? Note that you may need to remove your previous data from Opera 30.

Ok, I see, I'm still thinking with BBcode and not markdownNot sure if they changed something but the data import from Opera Presto should be done automatically.
I was hoping that this would happen as previosly Opera has displayed an update window...hat happens if you set Opera 12.17 as your default browser and then reinstall Opera 30?
Will try that tommorow... -

After the quoted piece, you need an empty line (
Entertwice) to show further (your) text normal. -

Hi there!
Found the solution and it is to run Opera 30 with following command:
"D:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --with-feature:import-presto-profile --presto-small-prefs-dir="C:\Program Files\Opera\profile" --presto-large-prefs-dir="C:\Program Files\Opera\profile"
Presto Opera is on drive C:, Google-based Opera is on drive
. Passwords work, speed dial looks odd, but was imported. -

Had a similar problem a while back. Funny thing was that the solution was so obvious
