Can't seem to find an edit feature here, so just reposting.

A related feature that were also in the previous versions of Opera, was dragging things like links onto a tab which made it switch to the moused-over tab. Useful for similar handling of bookmarks, and the aforementioned copy/pasting of links.

One of the things I miss most from Opera 12 and earlier, was the ability to quickly add tabs to bookmarks, speeddial and etc, simply by dragging them. I've let the feature lie for long now, but with the recent introduction of bookmark syncing, I feel I can actually take the time to add all my bookmarks from my old Opera link account and add them to the new one.

However, as far as I know I can only do it one by one (Importing them requires installing old opera, exporting them and then importing again, and has caused troubles for me in the past).

So instead I'd try and see if I can get a long missed feature back. Currently if you try to drag another tab into your current one to add it to bookmark or speeddial, you will instantly switch to that one.
If there were a setting to disable switching to the tab until you let it go (I can't think of any practical reason for it to behave as it does, other than to appear a few milliseconds faster) instead of on first touch, it shouldn't be a problem managing bookmarks as efficiently as the old days.

I think this could get several more practical uses too, and not just managing bookmarks/speeddials quick and efficiently.
For example, dragging tabs into a text field could instantly copy/paste?

However to bring some good comments in here too, these last few Opera releases have brought the browser major steps forward, so good work dev team

It's an administrator, yeah, but Windows has been slightly weird about that. In most cases it seemed to acknowledge that I was admin, but in some cases I still got a message of not having the rights.

But anyhow, with your help, I fixed it

Just uninstalled, but left my settings and reinstalled for all users.
Fixed it immediately.

So thanks for good help

In both the classic and modern control panel, the issue is the same. Either you can choose Internet Explorer, or a windows metro app. But in regard to the all users, I tried running the installer again, but choosing who I install for was blocked out (I chose myself), I assume I have to uninstall all, and then run it again?

Any how, I'll just try a quick uninstall, and do just that.

Thanks for the help so far at least, searched for quite a bit (Mostly google), without finding anyone with the exact same issue.

So to quickly summarize, recently switched over to Windows 8, meeting a bunch of problems along the way.
Have fixed most problems I've encountered so far, but I'm a bit stuck with the default browser setting on Win 8.

I've been able to set Opera as default for the html filetypes, but not the protocol, so other programs opens Internet Explorer instead. In the settings where you choose the default program for filetypes and protocols, there's a slight difference. When trying to set default for protocols, you can only choose Internet Explorer, or an app. It doesn't let you choose software on your computer.

Does anyone know of any way of fixing this?
I'm using the stable version, so I guess Opera Next / Developer might've solved this, but would prefer to use stable version, as the others have given me a bit of instability problems lately.

I guess regedit HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/ html, http and those might be the clue, but I'm not sure what to change the values to.

Any help appreciated with the problem, thanks
