9.52 August Snapshot

By Tommy A. Olsen. Friday, 1. August 2008, 11:55:16

, , , ,

Coming back from a two week vacation just to find the office half empty because the others have gone on vacation is a bit boring, but at the same time it is very relaxing, giving me a slow start.... The boring part is that so little happens at work when people are on vacation. While I was expecting to make a small changelog this time, I didn't expect it to be this small. Anyway, give the build a spin, we're closing in on 9.52 final now.

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.

Changelog
  • Readded the Windows shell menu to the Transfer context menu
  • Fixed an issue with lists not displaying correctly when text rendering is RTL
  • Fixed opening of files in external applications when disk cache is off
  • Fixed issue with low quality on YouTube video previews
  • Fixed mail appearance when Opera is installed in a folder with a "#" character in its name
  • Fixed RealPlayer on BBC
  • Added work-arounds for problems with various POP servers
  • Fixed problem updating signature when switching accounts
  • Quite a few stability fixes

Thank you, Toman.

One can get a lot done when the office is empty - keep going!

I suspect you'll get quite a bit positive feedback on this :yes:

wirusek 1. August 2008, 12:24

thanks for the new build

EricJH 1. August 2008, 12:26

Thanks for keeping us busy...:hat:

lamarca 1. August 2008, 12:31

thanks for the new snapshot

Tamil 1. August 2008, 12:38

Windows shell menu is missing when there is no extension in downloaded file.

kevinarjun 1. August 2008, 12:38

new build cool...

strat89 1. August 2008, 12:42

desk top team has not reached blogines yet...getting this via irc
but :cheers: hope you had a good vacation.

aldi 1. August 2008, 12:52

nice...the return of the good old windows-shell-menu: a quite good agreement between easy-to-use and a wide range of functions

Sterkrig 1. August 2008, 12:54

I expect this build lacks cool features of previous one (<video>, 3-D Canvas etc)?

betatest 1. August 2008, 12:58

Many Thanks Toman and opera team

toman 1. August 2008, 12:59

@Sternkrig: Yes, this is a regular build. Those you mention are all experimental features.

Lito 1. August 2008, 12:59

Haven't downloaded it yet but just want to say thanks for this "Readded the Windows shell menu to the Transfer context menu" :yes:

EDIT: This one is great too "Fixed issue with low quality on YouTube video previews". I thought it was just an issue with my flash plugin.

abiwan 1. August 2008, 13:07

I hope you squashed the bug number 345575. It's very frustrating for a web developer to not be able to work on html pages locally.

SouthernCross 1. August 2008, 13:10

This build should the the "9.52 Solar Eclipse" build. Cause it's today! :D :D :yes:

Sokkratez 1. August 2008, 13:12

Thanks for the YouTube fix :smile:

homeagain 1. August 2008, 13:21

Fixed opening of files in external applications when disk cache is off


Does this mean you can view source in Opera when the cache is off?

I don´t have a Windows shell context at all...
bug-336916 still there (icon looks like a letter)
bug-336920 still there (tabs don´t open, when rightclicked somwhere else befor)
bug-346669 still there (Opera crashes when downloaded a pdf and then opend it.)

And the style bugs are not fixed, since pre-release of Opera 9.5 :frown:

Ward 1. August 2008, 13:32

Fixed RealPlayer on BBC

Is that even possible?

PS. Thanks for the new build!

Do you use custom menu setup?

secutor 1. August 2008, 13:36

hmm,

i can't enter the letter 't' at the search box in the upper right corner of this page:
http://www.rabobank.nl/particulieren/

Can anyone confirm?

opera_9.52.2084.gcc4.qt3_i386 on ubuntu

ytsmabeer 1. August 2008, 13:45

@secutor:Confirmed with opensuse 11 opera 2084 gcc4.gt4

Luchio 1. August 2008, 13:45

Re-added the Windows shell menu to the Transfer context menu


Thanks for listening to our feedback! Have a cold one while it's still summer! :beer:

thobi 1. August 2008, 13:45

wohoo :-)

ywtbhb 1. August 2008, 13:47

do not support mouse horizontal scrolling
hide scroll bars sometimes error

XenoFur 1. August 2008, 13:52

"Re added the Windows shell menu to downloaded files"

THANK YOU! :D

HarryLake 1. August 2008, 14:14

@secutor: Confirmed! Very odd indeed!

Readded the Windows shell menu to the Transfer context menu

Fantasdelicious!

hermen2048 1. August 2008, 14:52

@secutor: Confirmed on Vista 32. This is caused by this script (116 is 't'), no wonder why this is included...
http://www.rabobank.nl/javascript/ra_keys.js

As a workaround, you can copy-paste the 't' from somewhere else.

galanga 1. August 2008, 15:00

Thanks for that new release, but can you solve the "site preferences cookies setting" problem :
- If "Global cookies setting is set to "block all cookies"
- go to a site for which you never enabled cookies before,
- open the site preferences dialog (right-click), go to "Cookies" Tab, it is on "block cookies" set to accept cookies
- close the dialog.

The cookies are not enabled. If you re-open the same site preferences dialog (right-click), on the "Cookies Tab" is still on "block cookies".
This means that the dialog code is broken (don't take in account the changes) or that the writing of the new site preferences setting fails.

This is very annoying, because if I use Opera it is because of its privacy and security features, and this bug force me to enable cookies for all sites.

Others seem to have the same or a similar problem (that is also with "allow only from visited sites") : here, here, here, here...

EDIT : here, here, ...

secutor 1. August 2008, 15:11

@hermen2048
that's probably why, the funny thing is it doesn't affect the 't' in firefox or ie.

dramkler 1. August 2008, 15:12

Thanks for the new build...

HellbillyDeluxe 1. August 2008, 15:16

Readded the Windows shell menu to the Transfer context menu


Great!


Now we just need Vista's default explorer back like in the early Alphas :wink:



Awesome job, guys!

Naelphin 1. August 2008, 15:24

Readded the Windows shell menu to the Transfer context menu



Thanks! One less on the list.

Perhaps using Vista's native open file dialog next? The XP is really getting ugly.

alf245 1. August 2008, 15:31

Can't scroll this page down to the buttom:

http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/main.php

At least, several pages of this site seem to be affected. Switching to "User Mode" fixes the issue, so it seems to be a stylesheet problem. Interestingly, Opera 9.27 works fine here. Is the Opera Desktop Team aware of this?

z-o-o-m 1. August 2008, 15:52

Nice!
First, I din't have the Windows shell menu in the Transfer context menu,
but it was only because of "custom menu"

THX!

Darken 1. August 2008, 16:12

Readded the Windows shell menu to the Transfer context menu

Wooohoooo! :cheers:

PLnet 1. August 2008, 16:27

@alf245, confirmed (XP)

confirmed, it's been present in several builds already
P.S. I don't have a mouse with horizontal roll :wink: but I have navi-pad on my notebook, and it does horizontal scrolling in IE, but not in Opera

Confirmed with Vista SP1. Take the honours of submitting a bug report and leave the bugnumber here.

zikzakatak 1. August 2008, 17:27

friend1250 1. August 2008, 17:28

confirmed with a notebook mousepad on vista 32

kyleabaker 1. August 2008, 18:02

I'm really liking the windows shell menu the way it is now...in the advanced sub-menu! Great work and great idea! That's an excellent way to keep the menu simple and advanced at the same time so as to not overwhelm the new users!

kavalec74 1. August 2008, 18:05

It looks terrible when the shell-menu's language differs from Opera's language :frown:

Where and how can I delete it?

juksu 1. August 2008, 18:06

Readded the Windows shell menu to the Transfer context menu


Thanks finaly I can update opera 9.27 to kestrel in windows.

Tamil 1. August 2008, 18:16

Execute program is not working in Edit Widget Popup Menu :frown:

kyoya 1. August 2008, 18:17

'Execute program' with keyboard shortcut doesn't work.
Can anyone confirm?

Fartman 1. August 2008, 18:52
