operas speed dial reloads all images after reboot

hi,
im having a strange problem. when i reboot lion and open opera, the speed dial reloads all images & this takes a very long time. is there a fix for it? because i have about 30 pages in the speed dial and it takes a loooooooong time. i never had this on windows or linux.

when i close opera and reopen without a reboot, the speed dial doesn't reload any images and all works fine.



thanks for the help.

// EDIT:
i also tried opera next -> same symptoms .

I'm having the same issues on Windows, so this is not isolated to MacOS.
And yes, it is extremely annoying, I think that it'd be better to use the already cached images on first launch even if there's a reload interval set.

bump.

can someone help? maybe some opera staff? i dont want to change the browser after all these years...

thanks for your quick reply, but im very very sure that im not running out of free space. i have installed my lion on a 60gb ssd. all my documents (such as musics, pics, words ...) are on my 2. hdd. i have about 45gb free space on my ssd.

is it possible to set the folder readonly?

// edit:
ill check later, whether you are right with your cleanup theory


regards

I saw reloads after mail-related crashes when re-starting Opera but usually they stick even after a re-boot of the Mac.

Please right click the speed dial thumbnails and from their context menu make sure that auto-relaod is set to never.

In addition to that there's the Force Speed Dial Logos extension that I use to always the same tab thumbnail/tab image even if Opera decides to reload them: https://addons.opera.com/de/addons/extensions/details/forcespeeddiallogos/1.4.1/?display=en Works fine for me except for the MyOpera page.

The OS does clean up the ~/Library/Caches/ folder—where the thumbnails are kept—on boot-up if you’re running low on disk-space. That could be the issue you are experiencing.

ok. the Opera folder in Caches was deleted after reboot. i have 13GB in use and 47GB is freespace on my ssd.

so how can i solve my problem?

how do i prevent opera or mac from deleting the cache folder with the thumbnails?
(execpt the Force Speed Dial extension -> will check that out later when im home)

i also noticed, that passwords wern't remembered by opera -> i think might be in the same cache folder?

This is what i see as output when opera is started. what does the @ means?

I NEEEED HEEEELP!

Hi There,
The speed dial thumbs are store in /Users/<you>/Library/Caches/Opera/thumbnails, they will automatically being refresh after a crash or a force to quit command.
It has never be a problem for me (with only 30 speed dial entries).
Various solutions :
- backing up then restore it before launching Opera (not the best solution );
- Manually set each speed dial entry to "Refresh > Never" (with a right click);

I have similar problem on Windows. Is there a way to reduce the time the tiles reload or at all? I understand this with the cache, but still. If I am not mistaken it reloads the whole page, is that right? And when you have 20+ tiles, it is 20+ pages, right?

If I use the ForceSpeedDialLogos extension, does this stop the tiles from reloading "behind the scenes"?

I noticed, that when I install Opera it uses about 50-70mb or RAM, but when I turn the Opera Link the usage jumps to the sky - 250-350+ with 36 tiles and with only Speed Dial opened, you can imagine when I open 10 tabs what happens... I understand that every change that is made is synchronized with the cloud, but is there any way to reduce the connection attempts and synchronize few times a day? I am using Opera on few machines and some of them are old and one of them is my work computer and sometimes thanks to opera it freezes even with 4GB of RAM installed.

Thanks.

EDIT: I found out that when Opera Link is turned ON the memory usage is high, over 350MB, but when you turn it on at first and it update the tiles, then you turn it OFF and the usage gets to normal of some sort - less than 200MB.. o.0

OK....FINALLY MY SOLUTION....

i had eset cybersecurity installed. after i removed the software, everything works fine im so happy about it...-> eset causes additional trouble with dock icons....


bye...solved and can be closed...

I have same problem, anyone can help?
p/s: my mac doesn't have any auto clean cache app
