I've mentioned this small, but very useful, especially for bloggers, tool here long time ago. It's
opera_ex, now only for Windows. I and many of Japanese Opera users use it with their Opera.
It doesn't have English instruction manual with it, so many of you don't know. For opera_ex, with customized menu.ini, you can do several useful thing at ease. This is
the instruction page written in Japanese.
When you convert the color of some words with mouse or keybord, then select from right click menu, for example, copy text with blockquote, then you can paste
<blockquote cite="URL of that page" title="title of that page">THE COPYED WORDS</blockquote>.
With several options, you can copy and paste like
<q cite="URL">THE COPYED WORDS</q>
<a href="URL" target="_blank">THE COPYED WORDS</a>
and so on.
I knew it, at the beginning of its birth, some of Opera users here talked on ICQ, tried to make such a kind of tool for Opera, several are engineers, skilled students, so they made it. For a long time, it is on wiki page, and I like to introduced it some day again.
One of makers of opera_ex, recently made another small tool working on Python, opera_conf, and now calls for debuggings. This is
his blog.
opera_conf tries to install customized initial files into Opera, just like Ff's extension install procedures. If you like to distribute your customized initial files, you make opcf file at first, and if he/she has opera_conf installed, then with just one click, he/she can install customized initial files. It may be useful when you upgrade Opera, and like to re-edit customized initials, which takes some long time, then opera_conf will be useful for you.
If you are interested in those small programs, get in touch with the author there.
till last November!
