My OperaMore speed dials? There you go!

As some of you may know, there is sometimes information hidden in a compiled application that is not visible at first. Sometimes they are easter eggs, other times they are features that are not enabled yet.
Just because I can I sometimes poke around in the compiled application to see if there is anthing interesting. To get the unpacked dll (yes, the windows version), you need to unpack it with UPX first.
In the unpacked dll are binary strings that show/do a lot of stuff, but the one I found was until now unknown and does something a lot of people were asking for: it allows a custom number of speed dials. To make use of this hidden feature, just add this to you speeddial.ini file[1]:
Enjoy!

[Size] Rows=4 Columns=5I think the settings speak for themselves. A small note: while testing really large numbers of speed dials had the nasty habit of eating up all cpu time for quite a while, so be moderate.
Enjoy!

Also section in speeddial.ini have to be the first one in speeddial.ini before all other sections.
But, still -- it's great!

I have a question :
Why in my screen (laptop 15'') the slots don't cover the entire empty space ? ? ?
Here is a screenshot to see what i mean :

EDIT : I found it ! I use another combination 3x5 and it takes now the 90% of the space.It's has to do with the screen size.

Also, I hate it that Opera Link website doesn't let you edit the Speed Dial urls.

E.G.: you write 11 into the adressbar and opera opens Speeddial Nr. 11?

To make use of this hidden feature, just add this to you speeddial.ini file[1]:

If you need more help, the forums are the place to ask.

If you use Opera Link to synchronize desktop Opera 9.5 and Opera Mini 4+ on your phone, then do not share speeddials. Synchronizing extra speeddials of Opera 9.5 may cut the connection between Opera Mini 4+ and Opera Link server. I have not even reported this "bug" yet, so it may take some time before this is fixed.

Easier and better in Linux. Just edit the speeddial.init of your personal .opera directory.
It renders better having 3 rows and X columns, depending on your resolution.
