I was talking about toolbar vs. O-button, not hidden toolbar vs. visible toolbar. And of course, a "space wasting" toolbar is faster than a hidden toolbar. Saves you at least one click to unhide it.

Add a nickname "xyz" to your bookmark.
Shortcut command would then be

Go to page,"xyz"

No. Anyway it's exactly what you asked for:

Appended means adding data to the end, not the top :whistle:

Why don't you save as "HTML file with images"? This will add source information to the end of the page. When I save this page the tail of the HTML file looks like this:

</body>
</html>

OK, it's not metadata, but better than nothing...

Opera might create a new autosave.win if I move the file, but it still uses the one in the Windows folder

Now this would be completely incomprehensible and - if true - would mean that Opera saves sessions automatically into 2 different locations. If by "uses the one in the Windows folder" you mean that upon startup your Linux Opera opens the last tabs you had open in Windows, well this is is relatively easy. Probably this is what you did:

1) Preferences > General > Startup > "Continue saved session"
2) opera:config > User Prefs > Windows Storage File > ""path/to/Opera Windows/sessions/autosave.win"

Thanks, but we should talk about your problems, not mine. What puzzles me: What exactly is your problem? If the setting mysteriously works for you (maybe the power of 64bit?), then everything should be OK. If your Linux Opera really uses the session files of your Windows Opera (and not merely points to them), then both systems must start with the same open tabs.

What happens when you temporarily move the files in your current Linux /profile/sessions folder to another location and then start Linux Opera? If Opera creates no new autosave.win I will be impressed

So apparently you can point Opera to a different "autosave.win" file.

I can't. Just tried with latest version and fresh profile. Even the bogus "autopera.win" in the default setting instead the correct "autosave.win" is still listed in opera:config, which alone is a strong indication that Opera ignores the settings.

I also tried to symlink my Linux session file to autosave.win of the Windows installation. Doesn't work either. In Linux Opera overwrites the symlink with its "real" autosave.win.

What you are saying seems a bit weird to me, though. Because I was able to do just that in the past, even recently.

You did just what?
It's not clear to me what you try to do. From your description I figure that you keep 2 different profile folders for Win and Linux, but that you point all folders that opera:config allows you to configure to common locations, e.g. bookmarks, wand etc.

I do not intend to change the autosaved session to a file with a different name. All I ask Opera is to keep saving to "autosave.win", but one placed in a different location.

Understood. But you can't change neither the name nor the location. The location can't be outside of the the profile folder.
The only solution would be to let the different operating systems share a single common profile (using the -pd command line switch), but this is bound to create conflicts with the different naming schemes of the file systems.

An old bug. You can't change the location of your session files, even if the Preferences Editor suggests otherwise

Sounds familiar :

Only when you use the keyboard, not when you use the mouse!

You may like to have the menu bar at the top, but you're in the minority.

You really know where the majority of users like to have their menu bar? At least this thread gives a different impression.
