Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
The Download with IDM extention is the Integration Module, I believe. Or at least with my mouse over the extension, it says Integrated is Enabled.
Follow up: I see now that there is a separate Integration Module, which I had before, but it's the one I mention above that's getting the IDM box to come up (along with the Opera Save As one).
I'll leave that to IDM. There are two IDM extensions for Opera I installed or reinstalled this morning, one is "Download with IDM" and the other is "Open with IDM." I hadn't heard of the latter and haven't figured out its purpose yet. In any case, after reinstalling the first, I'm now getting both Opera's Save As and IDM's download download box opening at the same time. I guess that says something, but I'm not sure what.
@leocg Yes, but I don't think it's related. This is a matter of a link on a multi-host provider site no longer opening IDM, even though IDM's settings says it should (and did previously). That's different than using the IDM extension(s) to download from a website, such as a streaming YouTube video or podcast.
Probably not. The changelog shows last Chromium update on Sept 26, while this started with the Win 10 and O64 updates on Oct 8.
Thanks. Those don't seem to be it. Each file is different, but examples are not something I'd want to post on a public site. I've got IDM looking into it too. I just wondered if there's a Save As setting, like their used to be as I recall (accessible in Windows settings)
Up to Opera 63 it was fine, but in Opera 64 downloadable links at one specific site are opening Opera's "Save As" dialogue box instead of IDM, and it's also overriding IDM's keystroke override. This happens for all sorts of file types at that site - mkv, zip, pdf, avi, etc. Does that mean Opera's default "Save As" setting got changed? If so, where would I find it?
This version of Opera is overriding Internet Download Manager with some downloads via a multi-host site. I'm now having to use the context menu to force the IDM download. Was fine with O63. Is there a setting somewhere that might be at issue?
@leocg Chrome has Print on the top level. That makes IE11 (not sure about Edge), FF, Chrome and I believe Safari.
@leocg Opera is the only major browser, except possibly Chrome (which I don't have) that doesn't include Print at the first level of its drop down. I don't believe it has anything to do with the logic of under which category Print could fit. As a long time Opera user, going on 15 years, it's only reasonable to conclude that it's not there because Opera mgt or developers don't think it very important. That's just as during the time before the current version of Print, including Presta, when Opera didn't include print scaling by preview, although it's essential to printing on the web and was included in the other major browsers from early on. I had to switch browsers most every time I wanted to print. Behavior over time speaks for itself.
But putting the past aside, the Print module could be vastly improved by...
@leocg O/Menu -- One has to know to look under Page, which is not particularly intuitive because it's not necessarily correct, i.e., if one wants to print a multi-page document.
It would also become a lot more user friendly if the Print screen showed the entire menu by default, including More Options. Why is this important? First, for ease of use. Second, since the settings there stick until changed, it would help avoid unintentioned choices in subsequent sessions and the need to have to reset the More Options section after every print job that uses it. Showing the entire screen wouldn't take away from anything.
Opera has since its early days treated its Print module as a third class citizen, which is unfortunate for those of us who need to print fairly frequently. The change to the current version helped bring it into the 2000's, but the design still leaves a lot to be desired in basic interface functionality.
Why isn't Print included in the drop down menu?
Yesterday, I uninstalled 64b and did a clean install of public version 63, copying in the previous profile folder, which among other things set Opera again as the default browser. Since then, every (first) time I open another program, from MS Office ones to a PDF viewer to a media player and more, I'm prompted by a pop up to indicate which app to use. This even though in Win 10 Default Programs nothing appears to have changed. Are these pop ups Windows doing or something deriving from Opera?
@burnout426 Thanks. So as I read your post, given the changes over time, the only thing needed now to account for my previously added syntax is renaming the autoupdate file. I do have zoom set for 80% (wish there were 5% options between 80 and 100).
I just switched from Opera beta to the public release. With betas, both on my desktop icon (Properties) and in a bookmark program I used, I had the following syntax for launching Opera:
\launcher.exe --alt-high-dpi-setting=90 -noautoupdate -- "%1"
First, this was carried over from Presta Opera to the current engine(s) maybe three years ago and I'm not sure it's needed anymore, given current options. But in any case, that syntax is not working now, perhaps because the quote marks aren't quite correct. Any suggestions?
@leocg Ok, that worked, thanks, and so far has gotten rid of a few page loading and page appearance quirks that had developed over time in my beta install.

@leocg Is the Profile folder now considered the entire folder under AppData\Roaming\Opera Software?
Thanks. Let me add to that. Is there a way to save...
I've been using the betas for a long time and want to switch over to the public version with a clean install, while keeping my Speed Dial. Is there a way before uninstalling the beta to keep the SD to copy into the new install? Thanks,
