Stop Opera upgrades losing Speed Dial thumbnails

Stop Opera upgrades losing Speed Dial thumbnails. Currently, it keeps refreshing the thumbnails during upgrades, so loses all the chosen thumbnails I saved while logged on to sites.

you can backup the folder:

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Opera\Opera\thumbnails



and you can edit options in speeddial.ini like:

[Speed Dial 7]
Title=YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
Custom Title=0
Url=http://www.youtube.com/
Reload Policy=0
ID=F0F87005A30EEE4EB754E12036FC6625
Reload Interval=2147483646
Reload Only If Expired=0

Opera is ignoring the options and reloads all thumbnails anyway, duplicating them into the thumbnails folder.

this is work for Opera. They have fix the bug. What I see this problem happens in stable version. If were problem only the alpha ones is a thing, but for a stable one is bad for who wants to get more users...

bug



Maybe it's not a bug. It's intended. Why do I have to manually refresh all the thumbnails if Opera can do it for me?

Why should I need an obsolete preview?

Have you read the topic? The thumbnails are being duplicated not reloaded (it's like they are losing the connection with their correspondent entry) and options are being ignored, this is not the intended behavior.

Perhaps add a button to "refresh all" if people want that. I'd prefer my thumbnails to stay the way I've set them up, especially because a bunch of them point to different projects on my local server which of course aren't up and running all the time, so any attempt to re-connect after an upgrade will fail on most of them. Also, in most cases I prefer seeing a thumbnail of the whole page, not the silly "zoom to logo" feature that has become the default. (Yes, I know, there's a workaround of changing the "reload every..." value, reloading, and setting "reload every..." back to "never", but that's just painful if you have to do it for a dozen sites.) In other words, I actually spend a bit of time trying to set up my thumbnails the way I want them - having my settings whacked at every upgrade is not pleasant.

The Reload button (F5) already does that. smile

Ah, ok... all the more reason to stop reloading on upgrades then :-)
