@starting said in OPening attachments in Opera:

@sgunhouse JPEG files can be opened without downloading them when
the IE browser is used on a colleague's Windows laptop, so it is not the
OWA system which is insisting on only downloading JPEG files.

On another point, Opera also appears not to allow copying of a weblink using right click.... Nothing happens, when it should copy the weblink so it can be used elsewhere.

I have seen https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/open-with-application/ by michsens and wonder if that could help with
opening JPEG files (this addon may need extending to include JPEG files).

@sgunhouse Thanks for your reply. Is there a way to get Opera to open a JPEG attachment, please ?

I am using opera-stable_45.0.2552.888_amd64.deb on a Linux Debian Jessie system to access my emails from a Microsoft Exchange OWA Light system.

I have a problem with attachments to emails.
When the attachment is a PDF, this can be clicked on and opened. When it's a JPEG, it is just downloaded to the desktop and doesn't open.

@sgunhouse said in OPERA, OWA and emails:

With some window managers, sometimes menus can actually be rendered behind the application - making them invisible unless they are longer than the window. Alternatively, (not so much in Linux as they are less common) a third-party pop-up blocker can sometimes think Opera's menus and drop-downs are pop-up ads.

Thanks for your reply. I will follow up on your advice.

@jimunderscorep Thanks for your sugestion. Opera 45 is the last version
produced before Debian Jessie was superceded by Debian Stretch, the
next release of Debian. I did not want to install a later version of opera in case Jessie could not support it. In any case being able to access menus seems to me to be fairly standard operations that a browser should be able to do. I am not curently able to update to Stretch, but that is in the
pipeline.

I am using opera-stable_45.0.2552.888_amd64.deb on a Linux Debian Jessie system to access my emails from a Microsoft Exchange OWA Light system.

Firstly, when the 'O' at the top left hand corner of the Opera browser is clicked, nothing happens.

However the main problem is with accessing my emails from OWA :-

when I click on various drop-down menus in my email
account in OWA, they don't work. Is there any way to fix this as I do need to either go into folders (there is a very long list so clicking down is the way to do this) or move emails into folders?

I can't download any attachments from emails read via Opera at the moment. Clicking on them opens them in a tab in Opera (except that I can't seem to open JPEGs which is an issue) but there is nothing to indicate how to actually download the file (right clicking etc. doesn't do anything...).
