      This is the first browser that deletes not only history of downloaded files but all files, too. Was cleaning up a bit and cleaned history. At least I thought that. Now all my downloads are gone.....😐

        @0p3ra-us3r Not the files themselves, just the list of them.

            @0p3ra-us3r I don't see that option anywhere, what did you select?

              There are many ways.. simply go to downloads, choose all and delete.
              Or you delete together with cache, cookies the downloads when you close opera.

                @0p3ra-us3r If you are on the list you should just hit the Clear button. I'll look at the other - but Exit really should only clear the list too.

                  I used the app in German and just changed back to English. In German "clear" and "delete" are both named the same in the Opera app! That was the problem why I thought I would only clear. Something that should be translated in another way...

                  The problem with deleting all files not only history when you close Opera should be fixed, too...

                    Will this be changed in future versions?

                        Okay, so making suggestions or pointing out problems in this part of the forum is more like hoping someone responsible will eventually read it and initiate an improvement without the users ever getting any feedback here?

                          @0p3ra-us3r They read the suggestions posted here in the forum, what doesn't mean that they will accept and implement all of them. There is always a 50% chance, at least, of a suggestion to not be implemented.

                          And Opera usually doesn't talk about what is being developed.
