"Restart" in the menu

I often need to restart Opera when changing or testing something. That would be a useful option.

One of my oldest dreams. Doesn't have to be in the menu though, a command would suffice.

That doesn't mean it's a useless suggestion. It would be useful for others who do need to restart. I've needed to restart on occasion myself.

There is one already, the only trouble is, it doesn't work. It seems to do much the same as "Exit."

Signature vindication never works, nobody reads it anyway.

The post didn't add anything to the thread so perhaps you shouldn't have posted.

well, w are getting kinda meta and off-topic here (so right back at you) ... nonetheless: I expressed that the feature is not useful to me, thus implementing it would be from my perspective wasted development effort that could have been spent somewhere else.

I disagree. I think this really isn't hard to implement so simple option.
I saw MANY features in Opera over the years that looks more trivial and insignificant than this, tons of those are in opera:config.
I think there's lot of features (e.g. in opera:config) not even mentioned in wishlist that are just trivial.

As a workaround, you might be able to use the Execute program action to launch a script and then have it wait for a bit before it launches Opera.

Something like:

Execute program, "path_to_script" & Exit

(I didn't test if the call to Execute program always returns right away even if the script is still running. If it doesn't, Exit won't get called till the script completes.)

The script can use whatever method is available to wait/sleep for a bit before it calls opera.exe and returns. The script might even check the process list to make sure Opera is running anymore before launching Opera.

Yes I did. This solution doesn't work for me because I use exit confirmation.

I get it, thus I changed my post.

Open notepad, save this as a .bat file:
taskkill /im opera.exe
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\ - the path from where you run Opera
start opera

Then create a shortcut to the file. View the proprieties of this shortcut and set the desired keyboard shortcut.

(With the confirm exit dialog this is a challenge! You'll have to exit Opera abruptly: taskkill opera.exe without /im will kill it like task manager's "end process" (damage risk bla bla)
