<![CDATA[moving opera cache in version 18 or 19]]>hello
after I installed version 18 [and now updated to version 19] I can no longer find the option to move the opera cache to a desired location
from what I understand by default its located in [windows 7] users\<profile name>\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Cache

however about:config typed in browser doesnt list the option to change the path as it used to do in previous versions

also Preferences file located in users\<profile name>\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\ doesnt have a corresponding string which could be altered

is there this funcionality/option to move the cache in the new opera? or has it been completely removed?

(per operating system installation (if you reinstall Windows make sure to redo MKLINK))

It's a shame Opera doesn't allow cache to be changed from app settings. Opera developers don't know how to do such a feature.

Also I requested Tab stacking feature, finally dev from Opera replied basically stating that they don't have the know how.

And I believe that. Vivaldi browser has Tab stacking made by ex-Opera dev.

Im on WIN8 (I tried upgrade to win 10, but my PC crashed) - 36.0.2130.65 - Opera is up to date

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753194.aspx

I have found this MLINK command, & i'm wondering

a) What is the difference between a Symbolic link & a hard link ?

b) Do i just use this command ONCE & it will stay in effect until i change it (no matter how many times i reboot)

or, do i need to run the command each time ?

My cache directory is - C:\Users\gordon\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable

& i'll want it to be F:\Opera

I'm guessing the command i use is :-

mklink /d \F\Opera \Users\gordon\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable

Is that right ? (i'll await reply re symbolic / hard link)

Link is in place on C:, and the cache is working - so far.

The downside with this config is that the parameter must be added to every command where Opera is run from: every LNK shortcut, associations for *.htm files, HKLM\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet for the Open With menu, etc. Otherwise Opera launched from those locations will use a copy of the cache in the original location.
