Recently I'm having issues with syncronization on my Opera browser,in another post someone counseled me to use that page to check for infos about sync and to try some actions about from it but I'm not able to interprete that page (even if I suppose to have understood something of the functions and infos showed here ) so coul'd you give me an explanation or maybe provide some learning link ?

RE: Changes in bookmarks are reverted after a whileOpera for Windows
@burnout426 In my settings the option to sync is already unabled so I'll go directly to the second step of your guide.
Now I'll log out from my profile and I'll try to do some modifies to my favorites after that I'll log into my profile again and I'll enable the sync option for favorite to see if the changes previously applied will be synced in the right way,ok?
If not I'll go back to the step one of your guide and I'll repeat all the passages to be sure.
Let me know what you thinks about that ok? -
RE: Changes in bookmarks are reverted after a whileOpera for Windows
@burnout426 Ok I've done this: I've logged out from my profile,then I've do some modifies to favorites settings,then I've closed the browser (not deleting the browser activity like I do every time that I close Opera),after that I've opened it again logging into my profile and I've activate the sync option to sync only favorites.
From what I see at now in the favorites pae of my browser (opera://bookmarks/) my modifies seems to had been maintained,but looking into https://www.sync.opera.com/bookmarks I see that the disposition of favorites is different from my actual one...
So what have I to do now? Have I to repeat the action from step 1 ?
And again it could depend on the constant deleting of my browser activity ? If it is the case let me show which options I've enabled to delete when I use that option (look the screenshots)

RE: Changes in bookmarks are reverted after a whileOpera for Windows
@burnout426 Rectification : After a while (when I was writing the previous post) all my modifies apported were been reverted and now all my favorites disposition in the browser is like it is in https://www.sync.opera.com/bookmarks....
So I think I'll open a ticket with Opera for this bug signalation.
In the meantime how have I to procede ? -

Infact I've opened a ticket with the Opera's assistance to the issue using that form but which is the bug number ? I've receive a mail of confirmation that is signed with that code BS-88386 I suppose that this could be that "bug number" that you're saying (excuse me for my ignorance -.-" )

@burnout426 Ok I've finally understood what you've intend to say before

RE: Changes in bookmarks are reverted after a whileOpera for Windows
@burnout426 You've said :
and then :
So I think not to have understood well why I've to "renaming user data and cache folder"...
I mean that : I initially thought that this could be used to 'fix' the settings of my regolar Opera from the standalone Opera installation to then bring the 'correct' data to the regular Opera installation, but perhaps I didn't understand well,which could be the reason of doing that ? -

RE: "opera://sync-internals/" how can I use that page?Opera for Windows
@mathias87 Sure,I've read your post some days ago trying to find some solutions in previous messages on the forum !
At now on my PC seems that this issue is solved (for now..),I don't know the cause for it (even if I've noticed that disabling the option to delete "cookies and other websites datas " when I clean browser activities seems to have helped,thank you @burnout426 ),although that I prefer try to find the causes for that considering also that I've noticed some other possible issues with Opera browser on my OS -

I don't see any option in general that could mess with bookmarks. However, I see you're clearing "Cookies and other site data" and "Passwords and other sign-in data". Clearing those can log you out of your Opera account and therefore Sync. I guess it's possible that doing that prevents Opera from finishing some syncing before it closes down.
Before clearing your data in this case, it might be best to goto the URL
opera://sync-internals
, trigger updates and wait till Opera is no longer syncing to test if that helps. Not sure if it will.You can also stop clearing cookies and passwords before closing Opera (for a bit) as a test to see if that makes a difference.
Are you using syncing any other Operas too or are you just using Sync as a kind-of backup?
I've done some test following your advices and finally seems that I'd been able to re anble syncronization in the right way,at now I've disabled these settings :
Plus I've tried to activate that option on opera://sync-internals/ that says : "Trigger GetUpdates",have I done right?
Considering that I have a lot of bookmarks to put in order, could the fact that I had synchronization problems also depend on this?
I'm asking this because I've seen that applying a little modifies time by time seems to be better that try to do all the changes in only one big step ..At this point if I'd be able to re activate syncronization in the right way I'll also have to dowload the Opera standalone version to follow the last step that you've suggested (I suppose no) ?

RE: "opera://sync-internals/" how can I use that page?Opera for Windows
@leocg Here's my one :
at now I have sync option disabled to be honest (so maybe is like that for that reason)In the other post @burnout426 said : "Before clearing your data in this case, it might be best to goto the URL opera://sync-internals, trigger updates and wait till Opera is no longer syncing to test if that helps. Not sure if it will."
Looking the page I see a button : Trigger GetUpdates , is he referring to that one with his suggestion ? -

RE: Changes in bookmarks are reverted after a whileOpera for Windows
@burnout426 said in Changes in bookmarks are reverted after a while:
Another thing you can do is to test bookmark changes in a test standalone installation of Opera. Don't enable Sync. Just check if changes stick. The changes will probably stick no problem.
If so, that could mean there's something messed up with your files for your regular Opera (due to Sync corrupting things or due to corruption for some other reason or due to write permissions on the files). If that's the case, it might not be something Opera can fix itself via an update or anything.
If that's the case, you would have to fix it yourself by turning off Sync, going to https://www.sync.opera.com/ and choosing "reset passphrase" to wipe out all your sync data, closing Opera and renaming your user data and cache folders to start all over from scratch.
If you were to do that, you could goto the URL
opera://bookmarks
and use the drop-down at the bottom left to export your bookmarks to an HTML file. Then, with Opera is all fresh, you could goto the URLopera://settings/importData
, choose "Bookmarks HTML file" in the drop-down and import that HTML file. Then, you could goto the URLopera://bookmarks
and organize your bookmarks (as imported bookmarks will be on the bookmarks bar). Then, if you wanted to use Sync to sync your bookmarks, you could log in and sync your bookmarks and test if everything is fine.(Doesn't sound like you'd have to export and import your passwords or anything else though as it looks like you clear those each time before you close Opera. But, if there was anything else you wanted backed up, you'd have to do that first (if possible).)
Doing all that would be the only way to be sure everything is correct and not corrupted.
Ok to follow that I'll need a little more explanation...So from what I've understood I should try to install again Opera choosing the standalone installation method,so my first question is that : it is possible doing that even without uninstalling the regular version of Opera from the OS (reading the s/reddit docs it seems to me that is possible but I need to be sure) after that installation I'll have to create some bookmarks and apply some changes to them to see if theese modifies are permanent am I right? Here's my second question : if I perform the standalone installation the I'll be able to log in with my actual account or is needed to create one new one (and also in case that the login with my account is possible my bookmarks will been "copied" on my Opera's standalone account?).
Going on with my questions : I don't have at now a passphrase enabled on my bookmarks for regular Operaso I've to perform the reset of the passphrase anyway (it is needed to delete the synced datas?)? And I've to export the bookmarks in the HTML file before or after doing that (I suppose that I have to do that before..)?
I've a ton of bookmarks synced so it couldn't be a mess if they'll be saved in the bookmarks bar after the importation from the HTML file?
Another one is : when I'll rename my user data and cache folder (following the procedure that is explained in Opera's s/reddit) then my standalone version of Opera will become a regular version ( maybe that's a stupid question but I've some doubts about that step..) ? Or simplier my datas related to that standalone Opera will become the datas of the regular version (I hope to have been clear)?
It couldn't be simplier uninstall and reinstall the regular version of Opera instead of doing this process of troubleshooting (I mean what is the reason for performing all this actions ? It is counselable for knowing the issue's reason?)
Let me know please!
