Opera 8.50 saves downloads to wrong place


Recommended Posts

Even though Downloads are set to go to documents/music...Opera keeps trying to put Mpeg's and many wmv's into CACHE4 rather than the designated location.

Anyone know how to correct this?

I'm not sure what you mean - are you saying the download dialog box defaults to that directory?

Opera will download to the default directory IME.

like jp said, when you right click and try to save a document or a file, it will ask you where you want to dl it, otherwise the streaming files of audio and video will be downloaded to a specific folder, which you can also change.

Is that what you are talking about, or am i misunderstanding your question??

Like I said, it is set to save to Documents/music but saves to Cache4 when you try to save the file.

It should save directly to your designated directory or what is the point of telling it where to put the file?

best i can think of is right click "copy link location" open the Transfers menu (Tools -> tranfers) past the location in the "quick download" and it goes to your download directory.

Looking into it some more: The preference window your showin above, look for your wmv (video/x-ms-wmv) select it and click the edit button. Action: save to disk, do not ask for folder, but save directly to_____. DO the same for your mpeg (create one if it doesnt exist)

Preferences - Advanced - Downloads - uncheck "Hide file types opened with Opera". Quick search "wmv", then "Edit", choose action "Save to disk" and specify default path for save.
