How to change path of the sessions folder?
I run Opera from a USB stick but have changed paths of write-intensive files (cache, history etc.) to a RAM disk. However the sessions folder is the only path I'm not able to change. Though the preference editor lists the default location of the "Automatic Window Storage File" as '.../profile/sessions/autopera.win', this is not only false (the correct file name is autosave.win), but the changes made to this path are ignored in a very strange way: Opera dutifully lists the changes in the preference editor, operaprefs.ini and in opera:about, but ignores them completely and continues to store the current session in 'profile/sessions/autosave.win'. If this is a bug, it obviously has very low priority since it exists in Linux and Windows and in versions 9.25 to 12alpha. How can I change the path?Opera 11.64,Puppy Linux 5.6 Precise

I believe opera:config#UserPrefs|WindowsStorageFile is the right one to change, but it's being ignored too.

Works fine, and it saves not only sessions but also speed dial, custom toolbars, custom keyboard shortcuts etc. Although, after the change it didn't copy some files (like speed dial) so I had to copy it manually from profile folder.
