Opera Link

Monday, 11. February 2008, 09:37:52

Link is a great feature. Recently I got a notebook, and it simplified the switching process. Unfortunately, I still had to transfer some files when changing installations. I had to export my webfeeds, export my urlblocker.ini, my UserJS and UserCSS. It sure would be nice if all of this was handled by Opera Link. In the future, the profile directory will be stored online.

In the mean time, does anyone have a quick tutorial on how to set up either a network profile folder for Opera, or have one profile folder with multiple installations of Opera. I'm running a dual-boot Vista machine and it just doesn't make sense that I should have to import every RSS message twice. Can I just search opera:config for the profile path for Installation A and change it to the path for Installation B? Will some problems arise if I do that? Any tips?

I have the same problem at that time. I will try next week some ehm crazy thiongs: The whole mail-dir (I don't use the m2) will put on a server ith write-authorizations. changing the path in opera and hoping that opera can handle this kind of communication. the only problem is for offline reading the feeds... but who is today offline? *g* [Opera will be able to send the feeds to O.link in V 9.5 final or 10 I know this ^^]

Offline feed reading is pretty nice, actually. If I can connect to the internet to update my feeds, then I can disable wireless on my laptop, saving battery if I'm unable to plug in or it's inconvenient.

The best option is always a combo of offline and online.
