Saturday, 17. May 2008, 11:09:46

Download

Opera Shutdown

When there is a transfer, Opera title bar will contain Transfers XX:XX - Opera and this will change to Transfers - Opera when transfer completes. OperaShutdown.exe will check periodically for this change and will show the following dialog box when transfer completes. If there is no response from you during timeout period, it will shutdown/hibernate computer.

Opera shutdown/hibernate confirmation dialog
Confirmation dialog

  • OperaShutdown.exe will beep and run in background.
  • You must keep transfers tab in Opera active.
  • To close OperaShutdown.exe at any time use keyboard shortcut, Win+X. Opera Shutdown will beep before exit. To change exit keyboard, open OperaShutdown.ini and change the value for Exit Shortcut. See this to know modifier symbols to define hotkeys.
  • If you use other than English language, open OperaShutdown.ini and change the value of Trigger Text to <Transfers as in your language file> - Opera.
  • To shutdown instead of hibernate, open OperaShutdown.ini and change the value of Hibernate to 0.
  • To close Opera without system shutdown/hibernate, open OperaShutdown.ini and change the value of Test to 1 and in Opera disable confirm exit in Tools → Preferences... → Advanced → Browsing

Hmm, I'll say, yes why not, but do you really have common case in which you use this tool ? :smile:

Do you want to run your system all night when you download a large files at night?

MrPingouin 17. May 2008, 12:00

Well, maybe I'm too much a geek for this kind of consideration :smile:
You mean, I'd have to turn off my computer ? why ? :smile:

Cool thing. I've used soft which checked network activity, and if it's low for some time shutdowns system.

Is there something like this for linux?

where do I find the OperaShutdown.ini file?? I want to edit it so it will shutdown instead of hibernate.

Tamil 19. February 2009, 10:39

Run OperaShutdown.exe once and it will create OperaShutdown.ini in same location of OperaShutdown.exe

Tamil, how about adding another option to simply exit Opera after transfer finished? Most of the time I only want Opera to exit after transfers, not shutting down/hibernating the system...

Tamil 6. March 2009, 23:35

Okay, I will add it.

nukie 6. March 2009, 23:48

Thank you very much, it'll make our life so much easier :smile:

Tamil 12. March 2009, 15:47

I uploaded new version implementing your request. See post for information. :smile:

nukie 12. March 2009, 16:00

Cool Tamil, will try it right away :smile: You're da man, :D
