How to stop the loading of all tabs?
Hi, suppose that you closed opera with a lot of opened tabs. Now when you start it again and continue from last time all this tabs are going to reload and download content from the internet. Is there a way ( a shortcut ) to stop opera the loading operation for all the tabs with only some keypresses? I know there is a shortcut to reload all tabs, is there also for what i wanna do?Thanks for your help.
One way I know is to edit opera6.ini and change the line that says
Startup Type=3
to
Startup Type=2
There may be an easier method, but I cannot think of one at the moment.

Please do the editing when Opera is not running. It it is running it will overwrite the change when closing down.

You can always save all this opened tabs as a session. Then close them all before you exit. Anyway in v9.62, even with many tabs opened priority is always given to the foreground tab. The background tabs though loading do not seem to hog the foreground tab anymore.

I have the same dilemma - I don't want all my tabs to load and eat up all my RAM when starting Opera
I can start Opera with 70+ tabs and have it use only about 100 MB of RAM
this is what I do ...
1. enable "Empty on Exit" in History Prefs - close & restart Opera
2. click this button to clear cache as the tabs begin to appear (monitor your cache4 folder)
3. click button again as needed to keep clearing cache files being created as the pages try to load
4. then, use F5 to manually load desired pages
cache4 folder should be relatively empty after Opera starts
favicons will not appear on the tabs whose cache file was deleted before being fully loaded
would be great if there was an option to automatically allow for this

Maybe not what you are looking for, but I right-click on one of the tabs on the "Tab Bar" and choose "Close All" before shutting down Opera. Just have to wait a few seconds for all the tabs to close (time depends upon how many tabs are open, but it seems reasonably fast with a dozen or so tabs open).
Basically you want the Speed Dial behavior with the Tabs. You can increase the number of Speed Dials above 9, but of course 70 would be out of the question.
I believe if you use Suspend to RAM or Hibernate to Disk, and just do not close Opera when you Suspend or Hibernate, that should accomplish much of what you ask.

Here is a very simple workaround:
1. Setup a single-key shortcut with this syntax: Stop & Switch to next page
2. During Opera startup - Press & holding that button until all pages are stop loading, it will only take about 1 to 2 seconds to stop all opened tabs from loading during the startup.
P/S: I remember there is a button somewhere in this forum that will stop all loading, but I don't know if it's still working properly, because the panel selection behavior has changed....

Alright, I wrote an article about this subject... Buttons are now available, but ONLY for Kestrel (Opera 9.5) & beyond versions.

dude09, your scripts also require repeated clicks to stop pages from loading
and, the Windows Panel (which I have set to "show") always gets removed
I trimmed your script down to a single action "Stop" button
but the icon wont show, and Windows panel still gets removed - how do you correct it?

"Stop"="Focus panel, "windows" & Focus next widget & Focus next widget & Activate hotlist window & Open all items & Go to start & Go to start & Range go to end & Stop,,, "Flat View""

Yes, that's the early version, I have updated it to be able to work 99.99% most of the time...
The 0.01% is because Opera can't control or stop some plugins...
If Windows panel disabled by default: Stop All
If Windows panel enabled by default: Stop All

Yes, because I changed the last action from View hotlist, 0 to Hide panel, -1 in order to make the button look "normal".
This below buttons will do as you intended, but it will always in a "press-down" state...
There is nothing I can do about it, because View hotlist, 0 function will be applicable whenever the panel is in hidden mode.
If Windows panel disabled by default: Stop All
