<![CDATA[Download movies the old fashioned way]]>Hello,
I just "migrated" from Opera 12.18 to 49.
In the old version, movies were downloaded with the normal file extension (mp4, flv etc) I could watch them while they were downloaded by just double clicking in Opera's download window. Now the new version downloads them with an additional extension of opdownload, and a double click returns something like "opening in xx minutes".
How can I configure Opera to omit that "opdownload" file extension, and work like the old version.
Thanks!

That suggestion it's only for Android and Youtube - despite the PC option, you need BluStacks or Memu -, @dasimbg is asking about Opera Desktop version.

Anyway,
Someone may want to test it.

You are correct, after downloading that additional extension is removed.
I tried "open with", but in the download window there was no right-mouseclick option.
(Of course, I can do that in the normal windows explorer, but that was not my question)
Anyhow, thanks for your response!

"Open with" OS dialog may work using VLC or any other similar player.
