Open or download multiple links quickly with Opera links panel

Monday, July 30, 2012 11:07:31 AM

, , ,

You can open or download multiple links quickly using links panel instead of clicking the links one by one. Links panel is not enabled by default in Opera. Click + button in panel selector and enable links panel.

The links panel lists all links in the current web page. Using the quick find field box, you can filter to show only the links that match the link name or the link URL that you searched for. Search for file extension to find all links with particular file type. You can open or copy link address or download using right click menu after selecting multiple links using Shift & Ctrl keys or all links using keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+A.

Thank you for posting this. I've used this feature since it's debut. Just be warned that the amount of links selected all open their own tab.

Now I have to figure out which files it didn't load and load THEM separately. Can't even just tell it not to download files it already has, because it auto-renames them and re-downloads them without asking me.
