lol

andresruiz # 28. September 2007, 14:58

Thanks for this friday build, nice to have new stuff, please don't forget that Opera still doesn't remember last download location and web based mail attachments doesn't download with the right extenssion, images downloaded with save image... still open the transfers bar.

matino # 28. September 2007, 15:00

Thanks for the build.

I discovered that opera crashes sometimes when I want to go to www.asus.com/index.aspx. Also uploading files at www.speedyshare.com doesn't work

gun # 28. September 2007, 15:04

Stop multiple postings! The server is unresponsive.

Alnag # 28. September 2007, 15:04

Nice. But new mails still don't change the icon in taskbar. As before. :-(

How should I know, that I have mail, than?

MossMan # 28. September 2007, 15:05

YAY to buttons.

BOO to (classic) install as admin!

Wade # 28. September 2007, 15:10

block content works again! thanks

Soleen # 28. September 2007, 15:15

Thanks, but I guess problems with Sparc Solaris weren't fixed since there is not Sparc Solaris build today.
Have great weekends :-)

Bill_P # 28. September 2007, 15:16

attachment icon still not showing in mails and attachments folder still is not being populated

lamarca # 28. September 2007, 15:17

another friday, another build :-)

hobe # 28. September 2007, 15:20

Funny how regular the snapshots come, since they are not called "Weeklies" anymore

Bill_P # 28. September 2007, 15:23

Fraud protection - still can't be disabled

normal browsing with 15 tabs open & i have had 4 crashes in last 20 mins

unix build 1600

WildEnte # 28. September 2007, 16:05

*grumble* would be nice if Opera would at least ASK if i want to have icons on my desktop and in my quicklaunch. Because I don't. Especially not when choosing "update", which indicates that I'm happy with the way I'm starting the older version.

lamarca # 28. September 2007, 16:06

opera still crashes on google reader

Bill_P # 28. September 2007, 16:10

cached icons problem - though pages display correctly changing icon to display all images does not initiate the download of the images - the page needs to be reloaded for the images to show

Emdek # 28. September 2007, 16:20

"(UNIX) When running Gnome, Opera will now use the native GTK file chooser when opening and saving files"

Is this feature available for other GTK based desktops?
Waiting for KDE integration ;-) (pure Qt dialogs are not enough for KDE user :-)).

ar1pe # 28. September 2007, 16:23

Thanks. Installed

cousin333 # 28. September 2007, 16:24

Header is still broken into multiple lines, and it shouldn't be (see "Fórum" & "OS, alkalmazások"). Check it in IE and FF.

Thanks for the many bug-fixes. Testing...

drunkensurgeon # 28. September 2007, 16:28

Great! Thank you...

FataL # 28. September 2007, 16:29

Useful addition. Thanks!

ColKilkenny # 28. September 2007, 16:32

Decided to try qt4-static this time. Everything seems to be working ok except the skin. For some reason I need to go to qt4 settings and save them to get Opera to look decent. Every time I start Opera, it reverts back to that crappy look.
Might also be a problem with my settings, first Qt4 application for me.

Also the bug where right click menu won't open in transfer panel if there is no open tabs is still present. I can't remember bug number.. 2xxxxx perhaps

Aphenitry # 28. September 2007, 16:32

What is it with Operas GNOME lock-in?! They work in the same place as QT does, surely they'd get some cred back for supporting KDE more.

"(UNIX) When running Gnome, Opera will now use the native GTK file chooser when opening and saving files (w00t)"

I'd really prefer more integration in KDE.

Other than that, I will try this ofcourse

DandS # 28. September 2007, 16:33

Still without a refresh button for RSS.

adioni # 28. September 2007, 16:39

The spacer 'problem' as described here:

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=203249

is still present.

cousin333 # 28. September 2007, 16:56

Still bad tabs...

kordial # 28. September 2007, 17:01

"(UNIX) When running Gnome, Opera will now use the native GTK file chooser when opening and saving files"

Oh thank you! Thank you!

graste # 28. September 2007, 17:04

Thanks for this build. Especially for a better integration in Gnome.

rwf # 28. September 2007, 17:06

Re; Reload -> never.

Is this supposed to stop pages from doing a periodic refresh? i.e. www.latimes.com and www.reuters.com

I guess I don't understand this feature.

cancel # 28. September 2007, 17:14

Cache still don't work properly. When in «Cached Images» mode Opera displays very few images on the page. Moreover, when opening image directly in the browser windows it's still not visible. If choose «Reload Image» from image popup menu opera will show image but on page reload images disappears again…

Build opera-9.50-20070928.6-shared-qt.i386-1600

the.qubit # 28. September 2007, 17:24

Sadly there's no intel-linux build opera-9.50-20070928.5-shared-qt.i386-1600.tar.bz2.

alekksander # 28. September 2007, 17:27

nice work!

Khaled-Khalil # 28. September 2007, 17:35

Added menu item to never reload a page

what is the difference between "never" and "disable" and the previous not "enable" ?

vinczej # 28. September 2007, 17:39

Mail. mail, mail, M2...! Please, do repair the bugs!

Otherwise I enjoy the new weeklies.

ruslano # 28. September 2007, 17:40

Thanx for nice build!
But flashplayer v60 is still not working, while v48 causes memory leaks.
From the release notes (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer9/releasenotes.html):
"Opera and Netscape do not allow recursive calls using the ExternalInterface API into the Flash Player. This issue has been reported to Opera and Netscape."
Fix it please - I can't do without my lovely opera and can't reboot every week, I'm too lazy

kriko # 28. September 2007, 17:49

Thanks!
It is nice to see how are you working on desktop integration, I hope we will see improved or native KDE dialogs.

ohshady # 28. September 2007, 17:55

Good news all round, but... Implementing last saved directory seems a very, very, _very_ simple operation. Why in the world is it taking you so long to fix it???

Good to see that you even care about Win 95 and 98. Back in the day when I was using 98 and NT4, Opera was the only decent browser on those turfs.

Darn71 # 28. September 2007, 17:59

For some reason this build can't find any websites. What am I doing wrong?

blubbi # 28. September 2007, 18:02

Anyone here who has the same bug:

executing opera from CLI with the command
opera http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8923

or

opera -remote openURL\(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8923\)

results in 3 new Opera windows. The last one that opens contains the desired page.

It's nasty to close the first two windows...

regards

RX-3200 # 28. September 2007, 18:07

The requested URL /windows/o950s_9562m.exe was not found on this server...

Also Opera Save as dialog and Open are non-resizable (sorry for spelling that). Not remembering download path is realy getting annoying, especially when i download many things to one directory, browsing every time to that one is so irritating. Anyway good job on that, will test it and see how it works.
