I got the smaller speed dial tabs too on both personal and work computers after updating, this is absolutely terrible. I don't want to reset the settings, I spent way too much time customising them to have to redo it now. Please fix this

Hi,

After turning on my laptop today, I opened Opera and saw all my tabs from all my workspaces gone. I've experienced crashes like this before, so I copied the session and tab files from the appdata folder and tried replacing the newer files. It didn't work. but the same method does work with some older session back-up files so I suspect the most recent crash corrupted my session file.

I decided to have a look to try and see what I can do about it, but opening any session file just shows nonsense if I use notepad and similar programs.

Here are my questions:

• how can I open the session file in a sensible way, or
• what else I can try to restore my lost session?

Just for context, I also tried:

• copy-pasting older session files (6 months+) into the Sessions folder, which resulted in restoring tabs from that time

• renaming my session file to the newer session's name, and vice-versa

• renaming my session file with the number from the registry ("stable last running")

• opening the session files (with my session and some other for comparison) with notepad, word, notepad++, none of which shows anything readable.

No luck so far.

Would appreciate your help here a lot as I had a ton of important tabs opened there and organised into workspaces, thanks.

Hi,

First of all, I have to say that the workspace feature is absolutely brilliant! It's yet another function that makes Opera so incredibly fast as for the work efficiency. Before, I used to have a couple of Opera windows opened and in order to switch between them, I was Alt-Tabing. (Alt-Tabing ALOT). Workspaces make it possible to have all the tabs organised in a single window very conveniently.

However, one small thing would help it even more. Having a dedicated shortcut to cycle between workspaces, just like you can Ctrl-Tab between tabs, would improve the functionality even more. I believe that the implementation is very straight-forward and it would fix this tiny inconvenience and round up a perfectly efficient function.

What do you think? Thanks!

Well, if people find both functions valuable, why remove one at he expense of the other? Opera's interface is super simple and straightforward anyway, I believe there is the space - and the need - for both of them. We're far from getting overloaded with functionality, so there's no limitation of that. As for the the navigating to the menu, then to the history and finding the closed tabs there - well, as recently in recently closed tab suggests, you wanna use it to quickly open back what you just closed and get back at it - and the time needed to go to the history really makes the difference here. Cheers
