      Hello,

      How do I disable the save as prompt when I download something from Opera. I have disabled the "Ask where to save each file before downloading" option in settings.

          Opera will always ask for download folder when a executable file is being downloaded.

                Presumably it's an option that might well be removed in the future!
                🙂

                    Because it's a flag and flags can be removed at anytime if/when the experiment related to it ends.

                    Flags is not a place to disable/enable settings.
