      Ok, i can find guides on how to Import if i am installing opera 18 in place of Opera 12, but as I want both Operas on my system while I evaluate Opera 18, how do i pull the settings across?

      And yes i understand Opera 18 is different etc and i lose Mail, RSS and Dragonfly (3 of my main reasons for sticking with 12), but well for general use it seems fine and add-ons for RSS sounds OK

      Cheers

        I can't work out how to get the profile importer to start, and the import bookmarks thingie is greyed out

        I have read that if opera 12s paths aren't standard opera 18 can't find it, but from what i can tell below the paths seem right-ish

        Opera 12 paths
        Paths
        Preferences
        C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera64\operaprefs.ini
        Saved session
        C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera64\sessions\autopera.win
        Bookmarks
        C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera64\bookmarks.adr
        Opera directory
        C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera64
        Cache
        C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Local\Opera\Opera64\cache
        Help documents
        C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Local\Opera\Opera64\opcache
        Mail directory
        C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Local\Opera\Opera64\mail
        Plug-in path
        E:\Opera64\program\plugins
        User CSS directory
        C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera64\styles\user

        Opera 18 Paths

        Install: C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Next
        Profile: C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Next
        Cache: C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Next

        Any help appreciated

          Ok, using the info in this post
          http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1765432&t=1385768814&page=1#comment14809222

          helped a lot, the only issue was that i don't have a /profile folder so i had to locate my roaming folder

          So for me the below command worked

          "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera Next\launcher.exe" --presto-small-prefs-dir="C:\Users\noodlesoup\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera64"
