      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!

          If I'm not wrong, it's a subextension until the download finishes.

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

              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!

                  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.
