<![CDATA[Current Opera and file .mht]]>I've a large collection of .mht files I saved using Opera 12, now I decided that is time for new and find that the

new 25 and 26 version are usable also for me (I hated the miss of some finction that were on the 12 version)

but I've a problem to solve, if I disinstall the 12 version I'm not able to open the .mht files

if I reinstall the 12 version I can open the .mht file with both version, 12 and 26 ????

What happen ? Can I disinstall the old 12 version or I'm obliged to have it still on the PC ?

Thanks

files saved with old versions of Opera (Opera 12) using Opera 27 to try to open it

As a try I downloaded Firefox and try to open an old .mht file, Firefox is not able to open the file and ask what he can

do, like olen it with Opera (as predefined),if you confirm to use the predefined Opera, the file is open in Opera 12

(remember that I've both Opera 12 and 27 installed)

Did you save those mhtml files on a Linux / Mac by chance?

Not sure if it's still the case with IE, but IE used to have problems with mhtml files with *nix/mac line endings. I think Outlook Express had the same problem with eml files (which are pretty close to mhtml files). Either way though, if an mhtml file doesn't use the windows newline format, the file should be fixed. Of course, I'm not saying Chromium shouldn't handle non-windows newline formats as a form of error handling.

It's a Chromium issue then. Could be this one. Did you save those mhtml files on a Linux / Mac by chance?
This one sounds like your issue, too.

If the # is any where else in the name, no matter if it's .mhtml or .html it will not open at all. The error is "This web page not found", I know it's a long shot but try renaming one of the files and see what happens. I also have 12.16 installed all files open normally in that one.

also now if I rightclick on a .mht file and select open with Opera 12 all is fine and the file opens correctly

I would like to disinstall the old Opera 12 but seems that there is no way, if I want to have access to my old .mht files

Again, try to enable the flag. Paste opera://flags/#save-page-as-mhtml into your address bar, press Enter and enable it.

I've a lot of old .mht files saved with the old version of Opera

if I click on one of this file Opera 27 starts but isn't able to open those old .mht files, instead of the file a list of directories is shown

if I install on the PC with Opera 27 also Opera 12 and then I click on a .mht file Opera 12 automatically statrs and the file is correctly opened

if I've both Opera 27 and 12 installed and I right click on a .mht file and try to open it forcing Opera 27 to be used to open the file, the file isn't opened and appers a list of directories

As version of Java I've always the latest version in 32 and 64 bit installed (toghether, at the same time on the PC)

In Opera 12, there is a File menu with "Open" as an option. I do not see anywhere in Opera 27 where you can open a file without going to the File Explorer in Windows 7.

What happens if you right-click a file, select "open with..." -> "choose default program" and select Opera there? (Windows that is)

No way to open .mht files saved with old versions of Opera with the latest versions (also Opera 27 didn't open it)

Can confirm this.

renaming the dile from .mht in .mhtml has no effect and the file didn't open in Opera 27

I tried right-click, open with, choose Opera from the list and the file loads properly.
Also, you can change the .mht to .mhtml and it will load into Opera 26.
The BIG problem is that Opera 26 doest't save web pages in either "Web page complete" or "Single page" mode!
If you save a page in "single page" mode, the file will not have the page graphics saved in it and if you save in "web page complete", the file will load into FF or IE but the it is just some html text and nothing else. It does save the graphics in a subdirectory but the pointers in the html file never find them.
Too bad. This makes this browser totally unusable. I can't work without being able to save & retrieve complete web pages.
Not ready for prime time!

Ah, I know what your problem is. Opera is no longer associated with the .mht file format. This is easily corrected. >>>Right click the file and go to "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program".

I tried this many times, NO EFFECT AT ALL
