You can integrate download managers and other applications into Opera easily via its menu editing features but for that you need to learn the following things.The way Download managers integrate with opera via plugins may become annoying at times so this may help.
1.How to
get started with editing.
2.The
file variables used when editing menus.
3.The
action list that Opera is capable of performing.
4.The
total view of menu editing.
So lets get started In order to invoke an application and pass selected url to it the menu command needs to look like this.
Item,"Menu text"=Execute program, "program location", "url to be passed", "", "the desired image"
In my case i use Free download manager and the menu command for integrating it is:
Item,"Download with free download manager"=Execute program, "C:\Program Files\Free Download Manager/fdm.exe", "%l", "", "Panel Transfers"
where
%l
is the link of right clicked item and
panels transfer
is an apt image for a download manager.
Using any text editor Open the menu.ini file and search for [link Popup menu] and add the above in the required place to get the menu entry.
Clicking the menu entry will start the download with the download manager.
You can even get VLC MediaPlayer to play files directly from webpages with this entry.
Item,"Play with VLC"=Execute program, "D:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe", "%l", "", "Fast Forward"
