<![CDATA[Drag'n'drop URL to desktop not available]]>Hi,
I'm quite frustrated by the impossibility to drag and drop any URL to a local folder/desktop. I used it every minute with my former browser (by dragging the icon on the left of the url). I need it much to store websites and pictures and notes altogether in LOCAL folders.
Could you please explain how to get the facility back?
Thanks in advance
chris

Gives me a shortcut with a big Opera icon. Win 10, opera 38.

Not perfect solution but doable and much easier than copying and pasting URL into a windows "Create shortcut" dialogue box then typing in the name of the shortcut.

Click on "History" icon. In the window on right - click and drag the Opera icon to the desktop.

THAT WAS THERE IN PREVIOUS VERSIONS!

It was not there in previous versions. Opera 12 and Opera 15+ are different programs.

it's a deal-breaker for most of us

I highly doubt that as this is the only thread I have ever seen asking about the issue.

I remember seeing it in a former version of Opera, and Firefox supports it too. I hope this feature will be added to the future dev, or solved by an addon (I've tested a lot, but none is able to save locally).
Still stuck to the copy - create a New Shortcut - paste procedure....

Vivaldi, Chrome and Internet Explorer support it though. I can't test Firefox as I don't have it on my system. The devs don't have a future features list posted anywhere that I know of so I can't say if or when it will be added. I can only assume that it will eventually be added since so many other browsers support it.
