How to open multiple web pages from Opera Speed Dial?

Friday, 8. May 2009, 00:10:46

, , , ...

There are several ways to open multiple web pages in Opera.

  • Bookmarking web pages to a folder, navigating to folder from bookmarks menu and clicking Open All Folder Items.
  • Bookmarking web pages to a folder, giving nickname to folder and entering nickname in address field or setting nickname as home page in Tools > Preferences... > General > Home page.
  • Opening web pages, saving them as session File > Sessions > Save This Session... and opening it File > Sessions.

The advantage of sessions over bookmarks is it can store several settings (zoom, fit to width, images, etc.) per tab.

Sessions can be opened quickly by assigning it to a Speed Dial slot.

  • Open web pages.
  • Save them as session File > Sessions > Save This Session....
  • Assign it to a Speed Dial slot.

The path to session file should not contain space. If path has space use DOS name. To find DOS name of a directory/file, open Command Prompt, change path to parent directory of directory/file and type the following command. 

dir /x
