Speeddial Snapshots Path Under Windows 7

Speeddial Snapshots Path Under Windows 7

does anyone knows where does opera 10.52 saves speed-dial snapshots under windows 7?
and also what file tells Opera where to fit which snapshot. for example if my speed-dial number 1 is youtube, and the png saved for youtube is abcd1234.png then what file is telling opera that abcd1234.png belongs to youtube.

go to "help>about Opera" and find the path to your profile. The graphics will be in the thumbnails subfolder of your profile. The file opthumb.dat in your profile folder contains the graphic file assignments for speeddial. Instead of editing opthumb.dat, I rename my prefered png files to match the file I want to replace.

WARNING: reloading may change the thumbnail (even if you make it read only)

thanks for the reply. I wonder why i didn't go to about opera page on my own.
So far i too have been renaming png files under windows xp. I used to make them read only, and reloading never replaced them.
But Now I will try to edit opthumb.dat because i am tired of renaming png files everytime i install a fresh copy of opera.

Other than a text editor, have you found an easier way to edit opthumb.dat? A Google search has found sites saying Open Office Base may work but I am not having any luck.

It's probably a custom file format. There are obviously tagged chunks of data involved like

DB_row: struct {

        tag_row:                Byte;           // const: 0x00; or is it a rowsize_hi?
        rowsize:                Word_le;        // payload size, excluding these 3 bytes!

        db_cols:                DB_col[];       // variable length given by rowsize
}

DB_col: struct {

        tag:                    Byte;           // see below
        colsize:                Word_le;        // payload size
        data:                   Byte[];         // variable length given by colsize
}

In opthumb.db you find a simple non-padded sequence these chunks. Prepending the sequence there is some kind of a file header, 0x0B bytes long in my case.

Tag identifiers are presumably

• 0x00 – database row (container of data chunks with following tag types),
• 0x01 – speeddial url,
• 0x03 – thumbnail file name,
• 0x04 – speeddial title (as received?).

The rest of configuration is done in speeddial.ini.
