@shodan-shodan Thanks. The Spash screen is very annoying. What did the product manager thing when they added that pain,

@sgunhouse Well I did that but it still does that zooms on mouse gestures. In my case on double click. It's a real pain.

@perroflauta That only solves the problem until the next update. And Opera gets very frequent updates. Might have to set up a cron job to delete the file every hour or so.

@cardiobike13 It's intentional. It's part for merging the standard Browser, the crypto browser and the gaming browser into Opera One — one browser to rule them all.

Which might have been a mistake as office user and gaming user have different needs.

Works for macOS as well. My Opera installation fixed itself after about three hours. Note that I didn't actually open any window. Even closed the application. Just let Opera do its thing in the background.

@newbietoopera said in Opera "Not Responding" at Start-Up!:

renamed Opera Beta.app to "Bad Opera Beta.app" app (in apps dir)

So the problem already existed in the beta version but you didn't send a bug report to warn Opera about it? And now the “stable” version hangs while the beta version is fixed.

don't know why this worked .. but it did for me. whew!

In the name of all the stable users: Thank you! Well done!

PS: I just send a bug report.

@trifon81 It's not possible to disable it after an update.

What a pain.

The problem is quite obvious once you look at Bookmarks.html:

                  {
                     "date_added": "13229856088561651",
                     "guid": "3d27066e-a44a-45f1-90e3-…",
                     "id": "26670",
                     "name": "…",
                     "type": "url",
                     "url": "https://…"
                  }

There is a date_added but no date_modified. Only the folder have a date_modified. That way Opera only knows when a folder has been modified but not what has been changed inside the folder.

I have not seen and date_deleted at all which would explain why deleted entries reappear all the time.

I consider that a design error which are the hardest software errors to fix as you need to redo the design.

This windows fix worked for me on macOS as well.

@jfuioenk There is no setting for it and the splash screen should show up only after an update.

Now I'm tempted to deactivate auto update.

Up until now I used the normal (not slim) sidebar. I don't like the vertical dots and on a 27" iMac and don't need save every pixel. So I much preferred the slightly larger sidebar. But to my dismay that option disappeared. Or is there still an option hidden somewhere to have the non slim sidebar.

@proshor Has been removed but the outdated instructions are copy pasted over and over. Why @Zandocarl copy pasterd an instruction which doesn't work is beyond me. He says it himself:

Another way is this, but I tried and it didn't work

It just confuses those who miss the didn't work part.

@m6v10 Thank you. Didn't know that's a macOS feature.
