I still have no answer on the problem that I just can't copy the content of what's in my syncro page (the syncro page when I'm into my account) to my opera browser. And sorry to say this again but what I find in my account syncro page is not all available in my browser. That was what in fact was always assumed here.

And than there is the fact that on my android device I have two different bookmark pages that have the same name (the name I gave my PC). Also this content can't be moved (only deleted perhaps).

It's all ben mentioned b4, but perhaps this can't be solved at all.

@leocg

The bookmarks manager in Opera and the bookmarks in "my account" in Opera sync (of course when syncing is on) do not sync. I showed a picture of that a few posts ago. I also asked/said "How do I restore items (bookmarks, folders with bookmarks in it) that are only visible in my "opera account" (https://sync.opera.com/web/) to my opera browser ?"

I will try to elaborate on this later, but in the meantime do not close this thread. Thank you.

Yes it is done. But wrong sync. I don't recall if I already said this here, but here it is again.

I have now two Quick dial pages on my android. They have the same name (on top the name I gave to my PC).

Remember scrolling through the quick dial pages from the same source (another smartphone, another PC) is done vertically.

Scrolling horizontally you get a differenbut with different content. t source. I named the QD page from my PC: MSI_GE60.

I have 2 QD pages but with different content but with the same name. Only one of these syncs with my PC. The other page (with the same name) does NOT sync with my PC but contains "most" of the stuff I lost from my completely gone QD page from my PC from some 5 days ago.

This stuff is also visible in "my account" on the web and is located under deleted bookmarks.

How do I get this stuff "out", I mean "move" either from the web under "my account" to my QD on the Opera browser OR from my android device to my Opera browser ?

Again thanks 4 looking into this.

Fact remains that I see items in "my account": many, many shortcuts and folders under deleted bookmarks that I want to transfer from "my account" to my browser folder "speed dial". All those speed dial items have vanished from my browser some 5 days ago. They are only visible in "my account" (sync on or off), but I can't seem to get them from there to my browser even when sync is on. Now tell me that's strange. Yes BTW I get the green checker when sync is on.

What to do now ? Thanks for looking into this.

@leocg

Thanks for your reply. No syncing on or off does not help me, I tried it. Let's say I enable sync how can I get back those items that are now ONLY visible in "my account" (https://sync.opera.com/web/) under deleted bookmarks, they are nowhere at all visible in my browser (syncing on or off). Other things are not synced besides my bookmarks.

How do I restore items (bookmarks, folders with bookmarks in it) that are only visible in my "opera account" (https://sync.opera.com/web/) to my opera browser ?

Given the fact that they are nowhere on my opera browser for PC (menu > bookmarks > and all the many subfolders) even when sync is enabled ? The items that I want to be restored are only visible in my account and under the different subfolders from the menu to access the bookmarks in "my account". Also many items under the subfolder bookmarks > deleted bookmarks. What good are these lists if you can't copy them back to your PC ?

@l33t4opera said in All my Quick shortcuts have disappeared from my startup page:

@jimbop If I understand you well, you have now a backup of your old items under "other bookmarks" in your Opera on your desktop, right? Why don't you simply move them from there to your "Speed Dial" folder from the bookmarks manager?

No, the items I lost are on the android but on a second quick launch page (with the same name on top) that page does not synchronize with my PC. If I put something on the quick launch page of my PC that content synchronises with another quick launch page on my android. If I delete that SD dial page and the content of my SD page on the PC and apply sync the content of the lost SD page (the 2nd SD on my android but after deleting the first it's the only one left on my android) still not sync with my PC. In my account (https://sync.opera.com/web/) I can find that lost content under deleted bookmarks*
In case you already synced your data again, and still you can't see your items on Speed Dial, please check again, if the SD is not set to be hidden.

The SD on my PC is not hidden

I'll show you later some screenshots

Thank you for your patience.

@l33t4opera

Thank you again,
Strange things happening in that syncronization.
The name I gave to my PC (MSI_GE60) appears twice on my android quick link page. For the full list you have to scroll vertically. If I scroll horizontally I get another quick link page with the same name (MSI_GE60) but with another list of quick link items. Those are the one's that I lost on my PC quick link page. The syncronization only seems to work with the first list. If I delete that first list (after having made a backup on my PC under "other bookmarks") (3 dots top right and choose remove device).

1. Unfortunately my android is not rooted, so there is no way I can export that list, but it's that one I must have. Also that list appears in "my account" in a folder called "deleted bookmarks".
2. I also seem to be unable to retrieve (export) them from within "my account" page to my browser (quick links).

The speed dial was not disabled.

@l33t4opera

Yes, so you think that by reopening the synchronisation and deleting the 2 or 3 quick dial items from my PC, all the quick dial items from my android will go to the empty quick dial page of my PC ? And not deleting the one's from the android device ? Another question .. if I look in my account on the sync pages, I also see that there are many folders and bookmarks (in my account) under the deleted bookmarks section. How did they get there ? They were on my quick dial page from my PC a few days ago. I can't seem to retrieve those back to my speed dial from the PC. Should I activate my sync again to move them around in "my account". Thank you in advance.

@leocg said in Speed Dial Sync:

In Opera, at the bookmarks page if you are on desktop. In Opera for Android you tap on the computer and cellphone icon in start page.

Sorry to botter you with this but in another thread I mentioned that me too, I lost all my quick shortcuts on my PC. I found them on my android quick shortcut page and in my opera web account. How can I export them back to my PC from my account or from my android device.

Also I can't seem to move them from one folder to another in my account.
The thing is from the fully lost speed dials list on my PC I found (in my acccount) some in the section deleted bookmarks and some in the section of bookmarks from my android device. How do I move those to the speedial section in my account page.?

Thank you and sorry, but I just found this thread.

@l33t4opera

Edit: In the meantime I have found out something: You remember that I said that all my quick shortcuts (and folders too) had disappeared from my Opers startpage on my PC and that only 3 or so shortcuts were left ? Now I found out that on my android I have two PC pages with the same name (I named the shortcut page on my android "MSI_GE60" to recognize it immediately). I synced only for a brief period until I saw the problem with the disappearence.

In one page (on my android device) there were the 3 shortcuts, the one's left on my PC named MSI_GE60 (the name of my PC) and on another page withe the same name MSI_GE60 (on top) there are all the shortcuts that I lost from my PC. On my android I deleted that page MSI_GE60 that only contained the 3 shortcuts. Now I have only one page labeled MSI_GE60 on my android device with all the disappeared quick launch shortcuts that I lost from my PC.

So what to do next (remember my sync is disabled) ? Should I be able to export all these quick shortcuts from my android to my PC, and to import them as quick shortcuts to my Opera startpage ? I mean without using the sync cause we've seen there's the problem.

Again, thanks for your effort in this. I really appreciate it.

@l33t4opera You said a post or 2 above "If your Opera is already launched, don't close it, go to "opera:about", and under "Paths" make a note of the path to profile, and "Open your file manager, and navigate to that path, search for the "Bookmarks.bak" file, if you find it, make a copy of it"

The problem is that there is no bookmarks.bak at all in my profiles folder. Just one file bookmarks (date Feb 28th), I think that's a problem to retrieve the old quick shortcuts page that was litteraly full. So, yes I guess it's overwritten. But could it not be somewhere in the cloud. You know I disabled the synchronisation in the meantime.

When you say "When you sync your bookmarks from the Opera on your desktop, then sync it in the Opera for Android, it seems it should be the same." In fact I have many shortcuts on my android but not sorted in the same way as they were on my PC. You think that if I reopen the sync that the bookmarks from my android will fill up my quick shortcuts on my PC again.

Thanks for your effort in this. I really appreciate it.

l33t4opera: I will try that, but isn't there some risk that this bookmark.bak hasn't already been overwritten ? Allthough I don't use Opera anymore. For the moment there are some 3 speed dial items on my speed dial. I'm gonna make a copy of it the moment I open my Opera again. On my android Opera app there are many bookmarks but the confusing part is that they don't seem to be the one's from the desktop version. Can the app even swallow all those speed dial bookmarks from my desktop ? Thanks for the help and I'll let you know the results.

@l33t4opera

Thank you, but that didn't help. The many dozen folder and direct dial items remain vanished. In the meantime I have disabled the synchronisation.

What can I do ? I tried a restore point from a few hours b4 this unfortunate event, but that didn't help.

I can't forgive myself that I didn't make a BU from time to time. Well I have one but it's one year old.

Could this anyhow have to do with thee synchronisation that I activated (it was disabled because of a login error)

The synchronisation was with my mini opera on android and Opera touch also on the same phone, but I suspect the phone can't load all the bookmarks from my Windows Opera.

Can all these quickdial shortcuts not be somewhere in the cloud, since I activated the synchronisation.

You seem to be an expert on the matter, I hope you can help me. Thanks anyway.

Sorry, can't seem to edit my post anymore. What I meant is that all the quick dials I had (some 50 or more including the many folders that had bookmarks in it) where gone after a restart from the browser

Some time after I repaired my synchronisation, but absolutely not sure it has something to do with that all my bookmarks and folders from inside my startup page vanished. Where are they ? The bookmarks on my toolbar remain however.

I thought my Opera mini for android would synchronize with the one I have in my PC. Nothing about that it seems. I must have imported all my bookmarks however at the start I guess. But can I make the android version (Opera mini) look like the one I have on my PC ? What's the difference between Opera and Opera mini for android ?

Considering the fact that it lasted about 2 years b4 there was a dark overall theme (that BTW doesn't even make anything dark except the top bars url-search etc..), and BTW the fact that we're still waiting 4 something like a multirow bookmarks bar, I wouldn't put my hopes in any changes in the near future.

The opera Blink looks indeed like Chrome. I hate Chrome so I'm gonna leave Opera Blink for what it is. I tried to get something from my v12.2 to v19 like you suggested. But it didn't work. Let's forget all about it. I'll remove the v19.

Now with the v12.2 already installed how am I going to proceed to make it look like my in the meantime overwritten v10 ?

I have a previous copy of my v10 on a clone BU HD disk and a normal C drive backup. What do I have to import from my previous v10 to my actual v12.2 to make it look like (themes, buttons and extensions only I suppose) my v10. The history and bookmarks don't have to be imported of course, since the transition went smooth from v10 to v12.2. It's just the looks are too different and a bit messed up.

Hello,

First thanks 4 the quick reply.

To answer your first question: after I opened the new v12.2 the first page I was redirected to after the upgrade mentioned that there was a new version v19. So b4 I clicked on that link, I thought by myself why didn't I get that v19 installed right away. Mostly because in my old v10 I just clicked to upgrade and not to upgrade just to the v12.2.

Now you speak of the v19 being "Opera blink". I must have missed all that info b4 clicking on the v19 link in my v12.2.

Is the v12.2 now called Opera Presto ? Wasn't aware of that either.

In the meantime I'll to start v19 with the given parameters.

Thank you
