Forcing context menu
Is there a way to force a particular choice when downloading an image, please? When downloading an image (jpg) attached to an external email provider (Yahoo Mail) the context menu offers a choice of (1) Opera, or (2) Opera Internet Browser. Clicking Open with (1) displayed results in no (apparent) action. Clicking Open with (2) displayed opens the jpg file in Opera. There are several other options such as Paint, paint.NET, MS Office Picture Manager etc, as well as the reg file handler Paint Shop Pro. I would like to force choice (2) as always the selected option, possibly without user input. Is this possible please? BTW Remember choice box is greyed-out. (v11.52, XP)
Not a good idea ...
The only reason you're seeing that dialog is because Yahoo has set the link to download rather than view the content in question. Even if you did change a setting in Opera you'd still get that dialog on such links - other than such download links Opera is already set to display JPEG files and should do so on a regular file link such as this one.
If you did manage to change that setting, images in web pages would no longer be displayed in the web page but would instead appear in a different tab - at best. Older versions of Opera would open 20 different tabs for one picture if you managed to do this, and you can find threads in the forum dealing with how to reset that issue ...
