Please make the user able to change the position of the navigation bar! Some of us want it on the top, others want it on the left or the right, and some of us want it on the bottom. I see it this way: When the position is locked to only one side, which is how it is now, only 25% of the users benefits. This is really a feature that the user should be able to customize.

New Opera developer 29.0.1778.0, the change log, and the announcement

"Today we updated Opera developer to 29.0.1778.0. This release is mainly about bug fixes and small improvements. A few common crashes found via our automated crash logging tool have also been resolved.

One minor, visual change you might notice is to the share dialog, which now better represents the bookmarks you are sharing with others."

One of new, and interesting flags - opera:flags#extra-mouse-gestures, which enables an extra set of mouse gestures (please note that this is a work in progress) - you can find more info regarding this feature, while reading some of the comments about it on the blog.

Could have the option to synchronize passwords, apps and history. It would be very helpful.

Keepass Password manager Autotype doesn't work if Opera Flag #experimental-addressbar is enabled. If disabled, Keepass works well.

Kubuntu Linux with V29,

I reported for V27 that BBC Weather would not save more than one favourite site. That continued up to the present. Google Plus reported a problem accessing the sign-on page for one of its services and suggested deleting cookies. Deleting both the Google cookies and the BBC cookies resolved both problems.

Bookmarks are now working well. I enabled multiple selections as that was recommended to overcome earlier menu editing problems. The feature of opening in the saved bookmark section makes it easier to drag and drop into sub-folders.

Bookmarks are now almost as efficient as the old V12 version, but the implementation is much more useful.

I would still like bookmark subfolders to appear in the 'Add to Bookmarks' pull-down.

Opera Developer is my 'production' browser. I think it is time to release it into the wild.

New Opera developer 29.0.1781.0, the change log, and the announcement

"Today’s update includes a small (but frequently requested) tweak to how we display links to images. Previously they left aligned and now they are centered. So no more turning your head hard left, when viewing images on your wide screen monitor!

Here is a screen shot to show how “perfectly balanced” the image display now is:

Images that are too large for the current display will be automatically zoomed down to fit the screen. If you click on the image, the center of zooming will be where your mouse pointer was placed."

Two new options:

• "Add a new folder to the current folder" (the button between the "Toggle list view", and the search box),

• "Move Selected to Trash" (in the context menu, when you hover the mouse over the item).

Additionally, two flags (work in progress):

• the opera:flags#trees-in-bookmarks: it started to work in this build,

• the opera:flags#extension-sidebar: adds a panel to the side of the browser area, usable by extensions.

\m/ :cheers:

Would be really nice if you could bring back the old Opera functionality of panning large images by pressing the spacebar.
Using the scroolbars is really awkward in comparison.

New Opera developer 29.0.1785.0, the change log, and the announcement

"Today’s developer build includes a update to our mouse gestures, adding back three useful gestures that trigger when clicking links.

• Open link in a new tab (Down),

• Open link in a new window (Shift + Down),

• Open link in a new background tab (Ctrl + Down or Down + Up),

In case you aren’t familiar with mouse gestures, they work by holding the right mouse button, moving the mouse a certain direction, then letting go of the button.

To help new users to find out more about mouse gestures, Opera now shows a sliding toolbar when performing a gesture for the first time. It explains that a gesture was detected and links to a help page documenting all the others.

If you feel there are other gestures that are missing, please let us know. We make no promises that we will implement all the suggestions but we are always interested in what can help you navigate faster."

Small notice: if the "opera:flags#trees-in-bookmarks" flag is enabled, the content of the BM page is empty, as well as the drop-down list of the folders in the BM pop-up.

One of interesting changes IMHO: opera:flags#customizable-key-bindings (disabled by default), if you enable it, you can find it in Settings > Shortcuts > Configure Shortcuts:

Slight notice: in my case, I had to first press the "Reset All" button, to make it work.

It appears they completely ditched off favicon-styled 'experimental' start page since v27. Such a pity...

New Opera developer 29.0.1788.0, the change log, and the announcement

"We have added a new way to view your open tabs, accessible via the start page. Simply click on the entry which is currently titled “Activity”. From there you, each of your synced devices will be listed. Now, click on any device name to see its list of open tabs."

Known issues

• Crash on opening the identity (sync login) dialog

• The share dialog cannot be easily dismissed

• Using the tabs (activity) page in a private window crashes the browser

One of new flags is the "opera:flags#tab-menu-with-recent-tabs" (disabled by default), which enables tab menu which gives another view of all opened tabs in the current window in addition to recently closed tabs, and tabs synced from other devices (it requires the Settings > User interface > "Enable tab menu" option to be enabled).

With Opera 29.0.1788.0 print preview doesn't work any more. Just hanging. Printing without preview (cntl+shift+P) works.
Problem didn't occur with previous release.

Question: Is there a way to start opera with all extensions disabled? Would be useful for problem determination.

[l33t4opera]

l33t4opera last edited by

Hi @hasi68: yes, you can, you need to add the "--disable-extensions" command line switch at the end of the shortcut, which you use to launch the Opera, as follows:

On Windows: "\path\to\launcher.exe" --disable-extensions

On Linux: /path/to/opera-develper --disable-extensions

In case, that you want to check also, whether one of the flags is the culprit or not, you can add the "--no-experiments" switch, as shown below:

On Windows: "\path\to\launcher.exe" --no-experiments

On Linux: /path/to/opera-develper --no-experiments

Small note: you can use both of the above switches at once, just make sure to add a space between them.

Hi @l33t4opera: Thanks a lot for your useful tips. I solved the problem with the print preview already. It was my fault, i disabled the internal chrome pdf viewer plugin because I'm using the pdf extension, but the print preview needs the internal pdf viewer.
