…you get a snapshot build to play with - with a few nice fixes smile Make sure you read the changelog: we don't want to hear about your cache having disappeared… wink

And since it has been asked: the snapshots contain the security fixes that were released in 9.25. But: (read on…)

WARNING: These are development snapshots: they contain the latest changes, but they also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, they may not work at all.

Known issues:

  • [Bug 300257] Fixed a crash on GMail 2.
  • Speeding up access to threaded access points in Mail.
  • Speeding up history search in address field - it also works much smoother now and does not flicker anymore!

We need an option to specify vps directory when using single user profile.

MyOpera team, please fix this!fearphage Friday, December 21, 2007 2:55:23 PM

That csant is a tricky devil... I'll be watching him. Chatting and working... I didn't even know one could do such a thing. Thanks for the bug numbers smile.

Fixed a crash on GMail 2

Can someone explain how this crash was reproduced?

Happy ChrismaHanuKwanza desktop team!

For the beta testers that don't have access to Opera's BTS, I bring to you a gift.

EricJH Friday, December 21, 2007 2:57:20 PM

Thx much again. smile What is the advantage of moving the VPS, cache, images and mail directories to the Local Settings folder?

Tomislav RibicicRiba Friday, December 21, 2007 3:08:14 PM

Maybe "...in order to limit amount of data in the roaming profile."?

lakeview Friday, December 21, 2007 3:10:37 PM

*Windows specific:

verry annoying or better a lot of sh...

please use it as *opt in* *feature.

all was in the right place until some freaky, crazy people think, let us change someting.

EricJH Friday, December 21, 2007 3:16:49 PM

Riba wrote"Maybe "...in order to limit amount of data in the roaming profile."?"

What is the advantage of that? Less fragmentation? Different rights for those folders being advantageous for performance? I have no clue. Hence the question (it must be a Windows related thing).

Luchio Friday, December 21, 2007 3:26:58 PM

@EricJH

Roaming profiles is indeed a Windows thing. It is used in business networks to keep desktop settings and the My Documents folder centralized on a server to allow you to log onto any computer on the network and get your settings downloaded to the PC when you log in.

I guess that the goal of removing the images and cache from the roaming profile is to reduce login time (because the PC is basically locked while this stuff downloads), reduce network traffic and reduce server diskspace.

toadbee Friday, December 21, 2007 3:30:17 PM

M2 - windows
* Can not sort by "sent date"...
* Weird graphic artifact in the label column (selected line only)

Someone gets coal this christmas for not being able to sort mail by date!
wink Merry Christmas!

Andresandresruiz Friday, December 21, 2007 3:32:14 PM

How can you get Gmail 2 work on Opera?
I think is the last 2007 build, let me tell you...thanks a lot for your work. Merry Christmas.

dreamdrummerddrum Friday, December 21, 2007 3:33:13 PM

Right-click and "Save to download folder" is still totally broken on Mac. I reported this with first alpha of 9.5, how long will it take to fix it? I could use 9.5 daily if this was fixed.

cousin333 Friday, December 21, 2007 3:36:07 PM

* Can not sort by "sent date"...

Confirmed sad. Also with Feeds.

Label Column header has two clickable part.

berend ytsmaytsmabeer Friday, December 21, 2007 3:36:39 PM

For people that like to use gmail2.0 there is an User Script that makes that possible

Thanx for a new build, but...

1. Feeds are no longer updating
2. Feeds icons are lost.
3. Trash Email folder dispays 98 message, and Empty Trash is not working, also each message is completly empty, not existing

Andresandresruiz Friday, December 21, 2007 3:44:31 PM

Thanks for the link @lamarca & @ytsmabeer

Merijn Friday, December 21, 2007 3:44:32 PM

Thanks, and merry christmas to you too!!

CypherNEUK Friday, December 21, 2007 3:48:55 PM

Thanks, and merry christmas to you all @ Opera.

The only problem i've had with the last two snapshots is with http://www.egotastic.com/ It sends my dual core to 100% on both cpu's.
It looks like it's when it's trying to load the ads.

Kirilljarinkirill Friday, December 21, 2007 3:49:52 PM

Thanks, but 295854 is unfixed sad

URL-s with cyrillic symbols are incorrectly saving in history...

lamarca lamarca Friday, December 21, 2007 3:53:12 PM

fast history navigation still not working

Soul Of DoinelSoulOfDoinel Friday, December 21, 2007 3:53:39 PM

Thanks !!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody !!

EricJH Friday, December 21, 2007 3:53:40 PM

@Luchio. Thanks for the information. It doesn't bring any advantage to my situation.

When I check with Explorer and see where the folders are according to Opera then it turns out that the Mail directory is still in the old place. I am using Opera without mail active.

Can anybody confirm? I am on Vista.

berend ytsmaytsmabeer Friday, December 21, 2007 3:58:21 PM

@EricJH:Clean install or upgrade?
On winxp clean install it was moved.

rseiler Friday, December 21, 2007 4:14:45 PM

For anyone wondering, in Vista you'll find a new directory structure under here:

c:\Users\Your_login_name\AppData\Local\Opera
It contains: Cache4, Images, VPS

The old location was here:
c:\Users\Your_login_name\AppData\Roaming\Opera

Note that all the data will need to be moved over manually, since Opera doesn't migrate content to the new location.

It didn't touch Mail, but then maybe it knows that I don't use it.

How about one "master" opera:config setting to relocate all these directories elsewhere (like to another drive)? I realize there are individual settings for each of them (with the notable exception of VPS) but a unified setting would be convenient.

skye11 Friday, December 21, 2007 4:21:18 PM

thanks
really looking forward to trying this build

VPS, Cache, Images and Mail directories have been moved to "Local Settings" folder in order to limit amount of data in the roaming profile



great idea!

this will not only make the profile folder a lot lighter, but will allow no-hassle backup of the entire profile folder (in one shot) - no more having to go thru and un-select those unwanted items before zipping them up smile

Zorglub Friday, December 21, 2007 4:26:53 PM

- Videos at http://www.spiegel.de still not working.

O, NOOOOOOOOOOooo!!!
One more folder in a new place - one more headache!!!
Return is back.

Ar1Pear1pe Friday, December 21, 2007 4:44:46 PM

Merry Christmas bigsmile

someguyouknow Friday, December 21, 2007 4:46:36 PM

Thanks for the new build!

The only "problem" I have is I cannot post bulletins on Myspace. I know, I know... Myspace sucks, is the devil, etc. but it worked fine in 9.25.

It also happens on Capital One "Forgot Password/Username" links.

toadbee Friday, December 21, 2007 4:48:48 PM

While i have a "mail" folder in the new location, there is nothing in the folder, the old location is still being used.

Ar1Pear1pe Friday, December 21, 2007 5:13:19 PM

@toadbee; I didn't even have the folder, but I manually transfered it there.

toadbee Friday, December 21, 2007 5:16:08 PM

@ar1pe,
Well look in there and check your file dates (the ones you transferred) - I can't imagine transferring them would make Opera use that folder...?

Paulinahailie Friday, December 21, 2007 5:16:42 PM

Thanks! Happy Christmas!

Issues on Linux (Intel, Mandriva 2008):
- coding in feeds titles is not set properly, while whole messages are ok. (When I first open feeds titles of new ones are ok, but when I click on one and want to read it, it changes to strange things). See a screenshot: http://img86.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bashda4.png Those messages has Polish charset. CORRECTION: happened in 9.5 beta, now is ok.

- Saved files have double extension - when I want to save a file (it doesn't happen when I want to save a picture from page, using Save Image.. and Save Link as...) its extension is doubled. For example, Opera want to save file with name FILE.EXT.EXT.

Andrew G.consalt Friday, December 21, 2007 5:17:02 PM

Thanks!

siringo Friday, December 21, 2007 5:20:03 PM

Is there any chance to be fixed the bug that Opera replace image with same name without warning? This really drive me crazy sad

Arche Twistarchetwist Friday, December 21, 2007 5:21:52 PM

No spatial = no download p wink

Merry Christmas!

Paulinahailie Friday, December 21, 2007 5:26:37 PM

One more: Opera crashes when I try to synchronize it.

Ar1Pear1pe Friday, December 21, 2007 5:32:05 PM

@toadbee; I changed the path in opera:config

Something I already forgot: in 9694 I couldn't get or send mail before I opened mail settings, clicked edit, changed nothing and clicked ok. After that everything worked ok. The same thing now happened with this build.

edit: @hailie. Works here, but already reported here http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=217496
