Thanks again, burnout, for a very informative reply. I didn't know OM was dead, but I guess I'm not surprised. I'm on slimjet, another blink browser, and now I see there is a class of opera extensions that will not install on anything else. I currently have an feed subscription extension, but all its options are for online readers, with the exception of "default reader", which is why I wanted to register OM with Win7.

Maybe the answer is to use a browser-based feed reader. What's keeping me from dropping OM is that Google uses redirection to count clicks even internal to our emails, and I think that is over the line. Slimjet has a setting to stop that on google searches, but I don't think it applies to gmail.

The workaround does exist, but it's to manually copy and paste the feed url into OM, which isn't too onerous at the moment.

BW,

I'm using the standalone Opera Mail application for feeds. In my browser, when I click on an RSS feed, OM is not an option because OM does not register itself as a feed reader on the Win7 system.

Is there any chance this will be corrected? Or is there a workaround?

Thanks,
Paul

Using Opera 12.16, I had a problem with some of my appdata hierarchy on Win7. I was able to restore the hierarchy from a recent backup, but since then most of the favicons do not show up in the context/search with... menu. Some of the bookmarks bar icons don't show up either, which is very strange because other bookmarks from the same site (ebay) do show up there.

Is there any way to get the icons back into the context menu and bookmark bar? Thanks.
