Opera 7.60 Preview 2 Available

[Mad_Griffith]

I've tried all Opera's single releases since 7.21, previews included. This is SURELY the best one. Fast, clean... and, as always, totally user-friendly, which I think it's one of its major advantages.

With no doubt, I prefer this to Firefox, which I extensively tried and IMHO can't win on Opera (as for now).

How'd you get it to say 'FyrePhox', instaead of Opera 7.6 Preview?

Close opera then go to the folder in program files and look for a file called OperaDef6.ini open in notepad and change the line

Title=Opera 7.6 Preview

under user prefs

^^^ or add that line if it doesn't exist.

Acutally it's the opera6.ini in the profiles folder (C:\Program Files\Opera75\profile), add:

Title=FyrePhox

Application Icon=C:\Program Files\Opera75\firebird_2_01.ico

For example.

Actually that's another way of doing it but I changed the one I mentioned and the name changed.

Opera 760 seems faster, BUT:

It gives me an error when loading my router?s web config java applet. Opera 7.54 does it fine ( I have JRE 5.0 ). It does work on other java aplets I have tried, but on this one it fails.

I also hope that they give an option to turn off the close icons on the tabs ( I hate them ) and the download dialog for some media files somehow shows ".html" and then downloads the .wmv or .mpg without a problem. Again 7.54 does show the proper extension.

Overall 7.60 is nice but definitely needs some bugfixing.

Yeah, ive noticed the download file extension bug, but it dosent bother me as in saves them in the correct format.

Wow, I only just noticed the .html extension problem :|

And after browsing these forums and the my.opera.com forums, I think I'm the only person on planet earth who likes the new close buttons on each tab :(

I dont mind them, but middle clicking the tabs dose its job just fine, and i prefered having the minimize buttons and such, so i could view 2 pages at once without much hassle, if that makes sense :unsure:.. Bah, i suppose theres always shift + F5.

I use Opera 7.54. Is the upgrade worth it?

[Chode]

It is beta, so there is of course risk.

But, in my daily use, here are the general improvements over 7.54

1) Ever had a page fail to load, leaving the tab as only a blank page with no URL to even try again? The URL will now display during page loading.

2) GMAIL Compatable!!!!!!!!!

3) Simplified/Streamlined interface.

4) Umm, that's all I can think of at the moment.

To add to number 2, when you get a page which fails to load and you get the popup error message with the preview 2 it's gone

of course...how could I forget in-line error messages :happy:

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Was already gone with P1..

I know it was gone with the preview 1 version but kizzaaa asked I use Opera 7.54. Is the upgrade worth it? and we were just pointing out a few differences between them.

Opera do a very good job of adding new features. I don't really care for the voice stuff but it is pretty cool. I like the new "eye" button on the address bar, find as your type, nicer default UI and less default bookmarks.

I wish you could easily import email from Outlook though :(

i like opera but im not gonna pay for it. I use it but the ads get annoying.
