Opera download folder
I set default download folder at Preferences -> Advanced -> Downloads -> Download folder to my download folder. I want always use this folder as default download folder. When I manually select different folder for one download, next time, I want to have default folder for download again. This was Opera old behavior, but it changed in some version, today Opera remembers last download folder and I’m considering this as very annoying.So, my question is: How setup Opera to offer default download folder from settings for each download?
Thanks.
The download folder set in preferences is for when you use "save to download folder" as said before. If you click on a link and choose to save the file, it will always show the last folder used by the OS. At least on Windows.

AFAIK the behaviour of the save dialog is set by the OS, not by Opera. In case you are using Windows: Did you change your Windows version? It appears that the behaviour changed since Vista (see here). What you decribe is also the standard behaviour in Linux.

No, when you request an 'open' dialog, within the program code, you have the ability to specify the default starting directory.
Thus each program writer can customise the behaviour of the open/save box.
It's just a pity that MS haven't added a 'recently visited' list to that box as it would be perfect for situations like this.
