NumberOfBookmarks: 1125

Cleaned my bookmarks after MyOpera was closed, removed the old broken Opera bookmarks and some other dead ones too and the repeat offender spammers that were plaguing the MyO blogs.

If you want to know exactly how many you have, when you upload your bookmarks to Linkagogo - a great free program that I've been using for years - it will tell you exactly.

NumberOfBookmarks: 1339

In Opera 12, even though I don't use the Bookmarks bar, I see it more like an extension to the whole Bookmarking system. In Opera 20, it's the only place where I can manage my stuff, which is vastly inefficient to say the least. No tree view, because who would use that. No nicknames, no descriptions, no nothing, because screw power users, right?

202 speed dials? Lol....

Yeah, I know it's time to clean that mess.

Bookmarks: 40 in 4 folders
Speed dial: 202 in 16 folders
Stash: 789

202 speed dials? Lol....

I would guess that when you reach a certain point, the amount of speed dials begin to take a toll on the hardware? I have only 12 speed dials.

Bookmarks: 1390.

Folders: 273.

I have 10 browsers installed, and I imported the bookmarks in every browser. But 10 x 1390 doesn't count, or what.

In my archive I've got close to 3000 folders, and I reckon there's a few thousand Internet shortcuts there. It would be fun to know the number, but I don't know how to count the bookmarks without counting other files.

... Yeah, no one ever uses bookmarks in Opera.

I don't think Opera ever said nobody uses bookmarks, just that their "target market" largely doesn't. While in some ways, it might be nice to know we're not in somebody's cross-hairs, it certainly doesn't feel all that great, eh?

I deleted all of the broken links to the My Opera Forums. Now I found this thread, I have 1,054 bookmarks and 74 folders.

awk '/\#FOLDER/ {folder++} /\#URL/ {url++} BEGIN {folder=0; url=0} END {print("Folders: " folder "\nURLs: " url)}' bookmarks.adr

Of course 'bookmarks.adr' needs to be replaced with the path to where the file resides. On a Mac for the active user account it can be found here:
~/Library/Opera/bookmarks.adr

Result:
Folders: 835
URLs: 6408

And the file itself is now 1.9 MB big.

And what I noticed on two macs with synced bookmarks via opera Link:
The Mac version of Opera 12.16 doesn't handle huge bookmark lists that well. When starting Opera from another user account that hasn't such a massive bookmark list, Opera "feels" much faster and responsive. Especially the problem of the Mac Version, that typing in forms (like now) or the address bar is slow as molasses, seems to be triggered by the bookmarks.

When starting Opera on both macs it takes some time (sometimes > 1 minute) until the bookmark list from the menu is complete. And typing something in the address bar, a form or even using a simple keyboard shortcut like CMD+C takes some seconds (worst case > 10 sec) until the browser becomes responsive again. What is weird, that when copying via menu instead of the shortcut there's no waiting time at all. But that mostly happens once after starting the browser, or sometimes for some reasons after longer times of inactivity. But for whatever reason copying texts via shortcut leads to a few seconds of unresponsiveness more often.

1. I go into opera:flags and enable it. It tells me to restart Opera.
2. I restart Opera and it's still disabled in opera:flags, therefore there is nothing in Settings relating to it.

And every time I try and enable it, it's just a rinse and repeat of the above.

I had that same problem previously, but in the latest 18/19 dev versions it's actually working for me.

Learn how to read and process information, because it does help a lot when it comes to having conversations.

I know you have a reputation on here as being a bit of a tool - I've seen it mentioned on a couple of other sites (Filehippo, for example) - and now I can see how that reputation was earned.

I know how to enable it.

Apparently not. The opera:flags setting tells you to restart, the checkbox in Settings, shows or hides the QAB once the experimental feature has been enabled by restarting Opera.

I have had enough of your antics. Go back to using Opera 12 or Firefox if you don't want to help with testing and improving Opera Next.

This is a case in point. You're just whining, not trying to resolve the issue. The QAB is working in 17, 18, and 19. Search the forum to learn how to enable it — it is disabled by default now.

I know how to enable it. Did you even read my post? I said that when you enable it, it tells you to restart Opera, but when you do that it just goes back to being disabled again.
