      Opera 44.0.2510.849 (PGO) x64 ; Update stream: beta; Windows 8.1 x64

      Set a specific location for saving files, but Opera still opens a window asking where to save file

        It's by design. For security reasons, Opera will always ask for download location when an executable file is being downloaded.

          Found a solution. Set flag to "off"

            Just remember that flags are not settings and can be removed at any time.
