Update: After a of googling, I found a program, operapassview,that will read the contents of the wand.dat file. It is a M$ program, which is fine. I just copied to wand file to my NAS and ran the program. I now have a CSV file of the passwords. I haven't tried reading them in yet.

Fedora 27 - Opera12.16

I need to export the Opera password file as a CSV file. I've been googling, but every example does not apply to this version. opera://settings/passwords doesn't work either.

Can the password fil be exported as CSV and if so, how?

Thanks

Thanks for the info. In other words, the built-in capability that it is supposed to have, it really doesn't have.

I've seen a web page from a user of an older version (26 I think) that had an image of the Browser selection box and Opera 12 was listed. Why it has been removed from the latest versions is really strange. It doesn't make any sense.

Is this possible, or not? I've got years worth of stuff built up into the two running browsers. I really do not want to start over.

Thanks for the info. I've not been able to test any of this as I am having one issue after another trying to get Fedora 25 installed. The Fedora 25 MATE spin installs, but it freezes the computer constantly. So, I'm trying the main server edition and that is not going well.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. Hopefully the short version is --pd.

With Opera 12, when I would start Opera, I was able to use the -pd option in order to use a different .opera directory. I can have two browsers open. The main one used the .opera file and when I was doing something specific, I'd start another opera with "-pd .opera_2".

From what I gather, the profiles are now in .config/opera, so ultimately I will want to get my .opera_2 stuff into what I suspect will be .config/opera_2.

So, how do I tell Opera 44 what profile directory to use on startup?

Thanks.

Opera 44 help explains how to import stuff from other browsers and specifically that I can import from Opera 12.

But, when I do that, the only browsers listed are Mozilla and Chrome. So, how do I import all of my stuff from Opera 12?

Thanks. I went back to the "learn more" and now see that. My eyes went to the section that started with the bold letters regarding mouse gestures and there was nothing there about using the right button. Then I looked above that line and there it was. Suggestion: put that statement below the bold line.

Oh, yep that worked.

Thanks, the middle mouse button trick works. Going to have to get used to that, as I still have the old Linux running with Opera 12.16. Not sure why that shortcut with the mouse would be changed.

As for the move down trick, that does not work. When I click and hold on the link and move the rodent down, all that happens is that I see the link text and the link itself in a gray box that moves with the pointer. Clicking and holding on an empty space and moving down highlights the text.
