Opera 9.5 final out.

FYI, with 9.50 on XP, I see Opera's cache location has changed from...

\Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\cache4

to...

\Documents and Settings\your username\Local Settings\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\cache4

If you wipe Opera's cache on demand (as I do with Eraser), you will need to adjust the path.

Just rightclick on a Favicon, choose properties and delete the text after the Favicon. That's it

Ya, I undersatnd that. I was asking to prevent their deletion during deleting private data in Opera. For that u need to mark favicons as read only.

 

Wondered why CCleaner can't clear Opera's cache after my upgrade to 9.5 Thanks for the head's up. Added the following line to CCleaner's ini file and hope it does the job.

Include1=PATH|C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\cache4\|*.*

*edit* Seems I may have to add the profile folder including subdirectories to clear the cache. True or not?

*edit* forgot to mention the user must tick on the Custom Folder's dialogue box on CCleaner's GUI (bottom line on the Windows tab)

 

Hopefully CCleaner will come out with a new update to quickly address the fact that Opera stores to a different location now.

 

hopefully KIS8 "privacy cleaner" will include Opera....not only IE.

 

Wiping the profile\cache4 folder should be sufficient. I follow that with using Opera's "Delete Private Data" function to delete everything else (history, cookies, etc). Do not depend on Opera to securely erase its cache. The last time I checked, Opera does not wipe its cache and those cache files are easily recoverable.

On my XP systems, the profile\opcache folder contains what looks like a config file that includes the following text:

"This file is part of the Opera web browser.
**
** This script patches sites to work better with Opera
** For more information see http://www.opera.com/docs/browserjs/
**
** If you have comments on these patches (for example if you are the webmaster
** and want to inform us about a fixed site that no longer needs patching) please
** report issues through the bug tracking system
** https://bugs.opera.com/
**
** DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! It will not be used by Opera if edited."

Deleting it may break something. Opera does not recreate it once it's gone. I would leave it alone.

Opera 9.5 looks royal on Vista.

 

ATM, on my XP systems, the 1KB files in that folder (vlink4.dat, etc) contain no possibly sensitive info. That could change. For now, I see nothing that needs wiping in the "revocation" folder.

FOr Vista this way:

A separate icon space, interesting.

 

any idea why my opera used ~100k of memory?

IE used only ~40k

 

The new Opera uses more memory for cache (performance?) I think.

 

Mine uses 50 MB right now. I have set History to 1000 addresses and uticked "remember content in visited pages".

 

Roughly 50-100mb here on my 8gb RAM system.

 

Around 64 MB with about 12 tabs open- no memory teaking etc.

 

Opera's new look is very very nice. I wish FF would learn a few things from the GUI designers of Opera

QT feels much lighter and more responsive than what Mozilla uses.

 

Really it is impresssive. I never liked previous GUI and none of the skins. This one is so nice. No need for any skins now.

I am also impressed with GUI pf IE7, very neat n elegent and so is Opera now.

 

Anyone used this?

Customize Google for Opera-

i like Opera 9.5 very much but I find no solution to the problem that everytime Opera is started, the widgets need to be restarted also ( by hand) ... is there no autostart mode ?

 

That was what I was thinking before trying new skins for Opera.After trying the beos-3-0 skin I found out that the new skin is using more memory.Now I am using the beos-3 skin and Opera uses 40 MB at most.Before it was using 100 MB.

 

Try this. Open a blank page and start your widgerts. Save this as a session. Then set Opera to restore/ load this session on each launch.

 

Thanks Aigle !!!!!!!!! It worked !!!!!!!

 

Nice to hear that it worked!

 

Hi, I have been using Opera 9.5 now for about a week and at first loved it, but as time passed I noticed it was quite buggy when browsing-- as reported on their website, (I believe 9.51 is due out imminently with some fixes). So I uninstalled 9.5 and went back to 9.2, or at least tried to, 9.5 was a devil to get rid of. Finally did a clean install of 9.2 and now I notice if I get an email with a weblink, and click the link nothing happens, that is the browser doesn't open. I have looked around Opera and OE but can't see anything. Anybody got any ideas?

Cheers Gordon
