Opera Desktop Team

It's Friday again! (well, in Asia)

, ,

First of all I am pleased to say that we will reintroduce the orange feed icon after fruitful talks with Mozilla :smile:

Mozilla Foundation are also in the process of writing new usage guidelines for the icon.

Then the interesting parts:

Changelog
  • Downloads start automatically on download.com again
  • Possible to add rules manually in content blocker details dialog
  • Listing of blocked content urls when clicking details in blocked content mode
  • Several stability fixes
  • On UNIX the tray icon is transparent now
  • Probably other stuff, no build without surprises p:


Known issue
  • Certain widgets using external resources may have problems.


Download links
Windows MSI
Windows Classic
Macintosh
Unix

Weekly..daily? Now even I'm getting confusedyet another daily!

BTW, the orange (Mozilla) icon never went out in the Mac builds. :-P

shadowk 15. June 2006, 20:29

yahoo mail seems broken..it has a huge empty space at the top...and the buttons are not as they where in the previous build

parsien 15. June 2006, 20:30

COOL THANKS GUYS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK OPERA IS THE BEST

Twilo 15. June 2006, 20:31

great!

Junyor 15. June 2006, 20:31

@lfom: It's not in 3437....

Indyan 15. June 2006, 20:31

why dont you guys start calling it nightly?

lfom 15. June 2006, 20:37

@Junyor: well, released builds were 3432 and 3441 AFAIK. Both had the Mozilla feed icon.

parsien 15. June 2006, 20:39

Post #15 define "Nightly"
I've heard this a lot.

erste 15. June 2006, 20:39

Mozilla feed icon - don't true. Old blue feed icon - true. =)

HeeZy 15. June 2006, 20:43

i get a crash on Yahoo! Mail by the plugin, npystate.dll. the plugin is located here,

C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Shared\npYState.dll

i tried to put this in plugin-ignore.ini, but its not working. disabling plugins fix this, obviously.

michalpiszczek 15. June 2006, 20:44

is it any chance that google notebook will work?

ResearchWizard 15. June 2006, 20:47

ask Google

Kanel 15. June 2006, 20:47

Thanks! :smile:

Nice to see the orange RSS icon again.

OperaNoobie 15. June 2006, 20:51

A feature that Opera 9 should have before it is released is a profile manager in which the user can easily move his personal profile to another location or drive. The profile relocation should include moving the personalized opera6.ini to the new location, with only a pointer to the location of all personalized data left in the default opera userdata location. This would be especially helpful for users who wish to store their profiles and all associated files on an encrypted drive or memory stick.

This should also include the ability to move the Mail folders to the new location as well. I mention this because, for some reason, Opera doesn't include the mail folder under the profile tree. Placing the mail folder under the profile tree would be better, IMHO. This way, if a user wishes to move his entire personal profile and mail folders to an encrypted drive, folder or jump drive, just moving the top level "profile" folder would move everything, and no personal data would be left accessable to other users, including mail.

Basically, Opera should have a feature that enables easy relocation of all files and folders specific to a specific user to any location desired, leaving only core Opera files in place.

Jazmo 15. June 2006, 20:52

Hmm. This release cycle is somewhat short.. not like i'm complaining though. One would think we are getting closer to B3 or even RC1..

Sooooo, what's broken in this piece? Anyone?

tprochazka 15. June 2006, 21:02

Why I must still click to flash for activation it? This is most disgusting behavior in Opera. Why you can do it? It's the same problem as in Explorer? Opera ASA is not USA company. In Europe doesn't exist software patents as in USA. Btw: For Explorer eixst way how to disable it.

lfom 15. June 2006, 21:05

Still can't login to Hotmail and Orkut (Mac 3445)... Known issue?

robertkesterson 15. June 2006, 21:11

I don't know if this is the best way to report a bug, but here goes ...

I encountered a problem where my bookmarks and personal bar were *LOST* running the beta on SUSE 10. I had just started Opera, and it restored a bunch of windows I had open from last time. One of those was to a website that requires authentication. It opened in a background tab (which is fine).

While all the windows were being restored, I got a message about there being pending IMAP transactions from last time, so I told it to resume. That brought up a dialog to verify the SSL certificate of the mail server (BTW, an "accept this certificate permanently" button would be nice). I clicked OK on that.

Then I switched to the page which required authentication. The authentication dialog popped up. As I was typing in the username and password, a small dialog popped up that said Opera was unable to write to the opera6.adr file. That scared me, so I went and looked in my profile directory, and the opera6.adr file seemed fine. I copied it out just to be safe.

I clicked OK on the error message and it just kept popping right back up. I eventually managed to hit the close button on the opera window and get it to close. When I restarted it, my bookmarks and personal bar were gone! I looked in my profile directory, and the opera6.adr file was truncated (to zero bytes). I closed Opera, restored the copy of opera6.adr that I had saved a minute before, restarted it, and all was well. However, if I hadn't known to grab that file, I'd have lost all that stuff.

I suspect this has more to do with the authentication dialog being open while it tried to write opera6.adr than it does with all the stuff that led up to it, but that's the whole chain of events in case it matters.

If there's a better place I should report this, please let me know.

MartinezZ 15. June 2006, 21:13

STILL:

- when loading page I don't move with this page (now with only few pages, but still)
- missing info about links (how I can "discover" target of link now?)

(WinXP)

archetwist 15. June 2006, 21:18

Argh! Horrible orange icon is back... Can't you tell your graphic designer to modify it a bit to better fit the rest of the interface?

Whit3Wizard 15. June 2006, 21:19

Opera stops downloading message headers on some newsgroups. If option "download message body" is checked posts are downloaded. Although this semi-solution works, it's a pain to view groups with binaries content.

feil0ng 15. June 2006, 21:23

- Goal '06 wigdet doesn't work
- error console still pops up
(Windows build 8493 | dirty install)

Junyor 15. June 2006, 21:23

@Whit3Wizard: Is this a recent problem or has it been happening for a while? Does it happen in Opera 8?

TheStalwart 15. June 2006, 21:30

Cool! Decent tray icon! Looks like i'll enable it :wink:

stewie 15. June 2006, 21:31

Non of the widgets work for me since the previous build. XPSP2...
dirty install :D

+1 the orange RSS icon simply s*cks.. We want the old one back ! :wink:

MagicM 15. June 2006, 21:32

This problem has existed for a few versions now (but was not present in v8): I have an intranet website at 10.1.1.7 that sets a persistent cookie, but Opera keeps throwing away that cookie.

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=134895

Since this place is probably as close to the developers as one can get, I figured I'd check with you guys :smile:

Anyone know what's going on?

markcs 15. June 2006, 21:39

Anyone else who has Yahoo Beta working.. PLEASE email me with your 'guide'. It has never worked for me, even when Opera is masked as IE.....

chrislu 15. June 2006, 21:43

how about putting the old text-search highlights back in...

bdclary 15. June 2006, 21:58

@Junyor:

I've been having the same problem as Whit3Wizard since Monday. M2 hasn't downloaded any new posts from opera.beta (the only newsgroup I read in betas). I've still been using build 8432 for windows since it was released (haven't had the time to upgrade yet).

Paul Skinner 15. June 2006, 22:00

http://digg.com/technology/MP3_Recording%3A_Trying_to_cancel_AOL
is still being a resource hog, though not to the level of the previous build.
It does peak at 100% CPU usage, but goes back down to around 70-80%.
It's eating 45 Megabytes of RAM while it's at it.

It is now possible to exit the page (Opera doesn't freeze).

Windows build - Windows XP SP2 fully patched.

StHar 15. June 2006, 22:13

Happy again ;-)

No crashes with M2 and IMAP account!

Volant 15. June 2006, 22:14

Ahhh, images are STILL getting mixed up!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v723/Bi9/random_temp/opera_still_error.jpg


The download crash bug from the previous build seems to be gone though.

kalphegor 15. June 2006, 22:20

1. still no unified cache for images in Newsfeeds and Browser
maybe if you cache like mozilla, per url, it will works great
example: http://www.lucmar.com/aesthetic/ the site itself and the feed from the site

2. in Newsfeeds, the default view for feeds should (must!) be [down arrow] Sent (in reverse chronological order)

Junyor 15. June 2006, 22:33

@StHar: Great!

@bdclary: Hrm, OK, I'll look into it.

ekhaatvensters 15. June 2006, 22:37

Hey guys how about myspace.com? If you want alot of people using your browser you should start thinking about making the site work better. The actual site is okay but all usewr profiles are usually a bit messed up. The scrolling bar will move very slowly and jumpily and thing are just general misplaced or not as good looking..

Ohterwise great keep up the work.. Opera 9 looking to own all browsers.. wats up with this FireFox crap anyway?

bug is still here.
I'll keep on nagging about it until it gets fix.
It realy screws a very nice way of using the panel...

pottsau 15. June 2006, 22:53

another feature request concerning mail: how about making a toggle button for block external elements? it would speed up the shift significantly. same for threaded/flat view two buttons are not the optimum!

EricJH 15. June 2006, 23:01

At Heezy. Rename the npYState.dll to npYState.dll.bak. That makes the Yahoo beta website (I don't knwow about the yahoo mail beta) work here.

It doesn't seem to hurt Yahoo Messenger either. At least not with chatting...

varyform 15. June 2006, 23:03

I BEG YOU: PLEASE ADD <<RESUME/CONTINUE>> option in save file dialog for incompete files

episode 15. June 2006, 23:04

And I'm still nagging about this http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=141286 bug since it wasn't fixed with this build. If the final build still has this "feature" I'm going to stop using Opera since this is making my job much more difficult :frown: Please do something about this!

ResearchWizard 15. June 2006, 23:16

@MartinezZ: target of link is either shown in status bar (X)OR in tooltip
-> if you disable statusbar tooltips are activated
-> if you activate statusbar tooltips are deactivated

(this rules are for link-targets only, tooltips show title-attribute in any case)

This place is the best place - thank you :smile:

d.i.z. 15. June 2006, 23:24

Unclosable flash popups - this will cause a lot unhappiness if this will stay in Opera 9 Final.

Widget focus issue is annoying too...

borg 15. June 2006, 23:25

@episode: We will fix the problem you refer to as soon as we can. I can't promise that it's fixed in 9.0, but we WILL fix it. It's not intended behaviour.

FataL 15. June 2006, 23:29

What happend with <input value="2006-06-16T00:00" type="datetime-local"/> ?
OMG, I can insert there HTML markup?!
<input value="2006-06-16T00:00" type="datetime-local"/>
It now doesn't show Webforms 2 interface, but type="datetime" still do:
<input value="2006-06-16T00:00:22Z" type="datetime">

MarcFou 15. June 2006, 23:29

"Possible to add rules manually in content blocker details dialog"
Thats how I have been adding URL's all along. What am I missing here? TIA

sebt 15. June 2006, 23:36

Gaps are still appearing in textboxes under Linux/KDE (Suse 10.1). See post by FaTaL above, the textboxes are showing like "2006 -16-16" and "00 :00"

The gaps are not spaces, can anyone else confirm this? It's really annoying... appeared in the last 3 Linux builds or so and I think I've seen it in Win32 as well.

Little recommend.. The new transparent tray icon is nice but seems smaller than all the other icons now that its not in a box :smile: so maybe the Opera icon could be grown to the same sizes as the others? (Under KDE anyway)

bug-214262
The problem is especially visible on the opera bug report form!

Edit: found the bug; type "1y" into a box, then type "1234567y" into a box, and see the difference. It seems that Opera is incorrectly calculating the gaps of all the preceeding characters of a certain character group and inserting the incorrect gap when the character group changes. Symbols, alpha and numerics seem to denote groups.

Seb :smile:

Perlovka 15. June 2006, 23:36

Linux build 342

JS Error Console still popups & JS not works in this case.

visit http://perlovka.gentoo.ee/ and move mouse over bottom badges.

in Firefox you'll see a semi-transparent yellow tooltip, but in Opera - error console and nothing else.

Also, take a look here http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/alert.html

afterxleep 15. June 2006, 23:40

Agree. Error console popups on almost every page, with only CSS issues. That's really annoying.

majalid 15. June 2006, 23:43

I like "Listing of blocked content urls when clicking details in blocked content mode" feature. I was waiting for this! It is easier now to find "bad" filters because you can see what filters are currently in use. Opera 9 is becoming more and more perfect!

I would like to see in Opera something like Firefox extension "Stealther" to surf the web without leaving a trace in my local computer. What it does is temporarily disable the following:
History
Downloads
Cookies
Disk Cache
Saved Form Information
Referrer Header
None of the affected options gets cleared totally as opposed to some other extensions which enable you to wipe these privacy issues with a single click, but at the same time leaving you without the history of your frequently visited websites. You can always enable/disable stealth mode.
