Does anyone know where Opera mobile 9.5 stores bookmarks?
If I remember well is the file opera6
Sorry for my english
Ciao
\Windows\Opera9\fake\*****\oktoberfest\opera6.adr
On the Diamond there is a \Windows\Opera9 but none of the sub-directories cache, help, images, locale, secure, Settings, skin, styles, widgets look possible for bookmarks.
I was basically hoping to edit the default bookmarks directly (from windows), rather than enter each address and then save to favourites.
You can synchronise for favorites with your desktop.
Then import these Internet Explorer favorites into Opera with the "File-->Import and Export" menu. Now you can pick this opera6.adr from your desktop, and put it on your Diamond into "\windows\opera9\".
Another way of doing it is to use link.opera.com
Alas opera mobile doesn't support syncing wth it, but there is a workaround that's pretty easy.
Setup your bookmarks in opera on the desktop, (mac or pc or *nix or whatever) then set up the link, you'll need to sign up first..
Go to link.opera.com in opera mobile, sign in and when the page has loaded save it.
open the saved page and set it as a bookmark (I use the saved speedial page as my homepage in opera mobile).
It's a workaround, but it works and is easy to do, if you need to reflash your device and forget your bookmarks (as if :cough) then you can get them from opera link..
The reason for saving the page? It saves a bit of data transfer and time.
A Solution!
Worked For Me. To Get All Internet Explorer Bookmarks, First Install The Official Beta Off The Website(opera.com) or find opera6.adr from the original opera file that was already on your phone.
Install The Newest Build You Desire, Copy The "opera6.adr" from the original file and paste into the new builds file. Fire opera up and should be there. worked for me! Try It. If my directions were confusing, please forgive me. lol Its what i did tho.
could you post that file so i dont have to uninstall/reinstall.
Extra Help! =]
I Have Diamond Opera Installed On Device Memory.
I Downloaded This Build http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643 But Any Should Work. So For My Example We Will Use This One.
Download Either QVGA Or VGA 2392 Or The SD Version. Its Up To You If You Want To Install On Device Memory Or Memory Card (SD).
If Your Device Originally Had Opera Mobile Of Any Version On It, Then Locate The Opera Folder. Mine Is "My Device/Application Data/Opera."
If You Didn't Have A Opera Browser On Your Phone Then Look Below For A Different Solution. Find The opera6.adr File Or It Will Just Say "opera6" On Your Device. Copy It And If You Installed Onto Device Memory Go To "My Device/Windows/Opera9" And Paste It. If You Installed Onto Memory Card Paste It In "My Device/Staorage Card/Program Files/Opera9" There You Go! That Simple!
If Your Device Didn't Originally Have Opera Of Any Version On It, Download This: http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/?man=Windows+Mobile+5.0+Pocket+PC&ver=9.51b2&heading=Windows%20Mobile%205/6%20Pocket%20PC&img=/bitmaps/products/mobile/platform/951b2.gif&extra=Touchscreen-based%20devices%20only.%20Last%20updated:%2020.10.2008
Install Onto Device Or Memory Card. Launch It. Bookmarks Should Be In There. Exit. Then Go To The Installed Location. For Devices Memory The File Should Be In "My Device/Program Files/Opera 9.5 Beta" And For Memory Card It Should Be In My Device/Storage Card/Program Files/Opera 9.5 Beta Aswell. Locate The opera6.adr File Or On Your Device It Will Just Show "opera6". Copy It And Paste Into The "Opera9" File (Assuming You Have Already Installed The Build You Desire) Which Is Located "My Device/Windows/Opera9" If Installed On Device Memory And For Storage Card The Location Is "My Device/Storage Card/Program Files/Opera9." Then Uninstall The Beta Version Load Up Your New Build And That Should Be It!
Hope It Works! And If Any Questions, Ill Try To Help.

import firefox or ie bookmarks..
edit your bookmarks..forexam. del or add
and then export bookmarks as bookmarks.adr
edit name as opera6.adr
copy it "windows\opera9" and overwrite..

Opera Mobile, which is by far the best Pocket PC Web browser, being a newcomer on the Pocket PC, still has some issues that should be fixed by hand. This is especially important to Dell Axim x50(v) and HP iPAQ hx4700 users if they have upgraded to WM5 and, therefore, should always strive to reduce write/deletion operations in the main storage to avoid filesys.exe sessions.
In the following, I give you a complete tutorial on how everything can be relocated to the storage card.
install Opera to the storage card. I assume you install it to \Program Files\Opera (the WM5 default) on your storage card, which has the name \SD Card.
get this registry import file. You'll need to modify it after, probably, changing the \\SD Card\\Program Files\\Opera occurrences to the particular path of your device if needed. For example, if you have installed Opera to a directory Opera86 your storage card named Storage Card, then, just change all occurrences of \\SD Card\\Program Files\\Opera to \\Storage Card\\Opera86.
I recommend for example the built-in Notepad in Windows to do this. Just open the registry file with Notepad, press Ctrl-H (Edit/Replace), copy the string \\SD Card\\Program Files\\Opera to the “Find what:” text input field and the new path (with, again, double backslashes!) to “Replace with:”. Then, just save the file and exit Notepad.
import it to the Registry with a Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00-compatible registry editor like Resco Registry Editor. This will make sure references to Opera.exe are all OK.
create an OperaData directory in the root directory of your storage card
get this file; unzip it to the just-created OperaData directory of your storage card. This means that, for example, the vlink4.dat file should be in the directory \<Storage card name>\OperaData\Opera.
go to \Application Data\Opera in the main storage and delete everything, including all the subdirectories, except for the following two files:
english.lng
input.ini
and the skins subdirectory (the latter can't be relocated, even if you appropriately modify Button Set in opera.ini).
Incidentally, if you’d prefer one-page-at-a-time scrolling (as opposed to the default one – that is, link-by-link), overwrite input.ini with this file.
now, get this file (opera.ini) and change all occurrences of SD Card to the name of your storage card in the way I’ve explained above in step 2. Copy the this way edited file to \Application Data\Opera in the main storage.
Now, you’re all set – you can run Opera right away. It’ll only write to one file in the main storage, opera6.adr, which contains the favorites (this means no writing will take place if you don’t explicitly add a new favorite / delete / edit an old one – this is certainly good news for all Dell Axim x50(v) and HP iPAQ hx4700 WM5 users). Every other write operation will happen on the storage card.
If you don’t want to recreate your existing favorites/cookies
Note that if you want to save your (existing) cookies and favorites (because you’ve been using Opera), make sure you do NOT delete opera6.adr (favorites) in step 5. Also, make sure you transfer your existing cookies4.dat to the storage card (into \OperaData\Opera) so that your existing cookies will still be accessible.
wow! a comprehensive guide. even if it involves several steps, this would b worth d effort. i hope it would work on my HTC univ.
BTW, is there a way 2 map d IE button (d 1 w/ d e icon/logo) on d univ 2 open opera & not IE?
Hi Menneisyys, please can you advise on the above process, vs the simple .reg import on your blog. Is the above for versions pre 8.60 - or is this required for 8.60 too?

You mean the REG fix for the file association bug present even in 8.60?
Yes: so if I understand given this insight:
- The bolog refers to file association only
- The above refers to being able to click a link when opera is installed on an SD card (ie default behaviour)

Also the cache. You must apply the blog REG hack when you don't want to relocate the cahce. If you also want to relocate the cache, you need to follow the above tutorial - in addition to my file association fix
Hell, did all of this (and later the other reg file to fix the file association issue) and altho Opera seems to be running fine, I still have my initial problem:
When i click a link I get either nothing (eg a link in spb Insight) or the 'trusted certificate' issue (eg clicking a html file in total commander).
Everything works fine if I install Opera in the default location (ie internal memory) - but it's HUGE and no faster when installed there.

Are you absolutely sure your registry changes were flushed back to the Flash ROM? Can you export the affected values so that I can take a look at them?
Thank you Menneisyys. I was looking for this on pocketpcmag.com 2 weeks ago but couldn't find it. Once again, you've come to the rescue.
And craigiecraigie4, i have the same issue when clicking links from emails. I just copy and paste them over to the browser, but if theres a solution to this, it'd be great.
i searched and found stuff for older builds
and ive looked in the windows folder and havent found where they are saved
anyone know how to back them up for when i hard reset?
You should be able to back up \Windows\Opera9\opera6.adr to your SD card. Then just restore it back to \Windows\Opera9
I also believe you can set that in Opera itself. Open Opera, and go to the url about:config. I believe it's a setting under the "Personal" menu item.
i found the file in file explorer but couldnt find it in settings
thanks guys
Guys,
I have a load of internet shortcuts (bookmarks) on my PPC under Windows\Favorites which are read by PIE and are displayed on QuickMenu however!...
When I try and run one of these files and choose either PIE or Opera, I get in the address bar (url) the location of the file and not the website it supposedly points to.
If I choose the favorite from within PIE then all is well. Strange!!!
I've been looking for an answer for a while now and am drawing a blank.
Please someone help. I'm starting to get a headache
Oh, I should probably tell you I have WM6.1 Pro (HTC Touch HD).
Thanks
Wayne
Windows Mobile doesn't read ".url" file naively. The files you are messing with are resourse files for the browsers (the browsers pull information from the file, you can't push the information by clicking them) There are programs that open your 'internet favorites" (m2d, ultimate launch, and "Interent link launcher")
Thanks for the reply joel2009!
Is there an app that I can install that can handle the .url file type and run the browser with the url from the file?
Anyone able to answer this?...
quickmenu loads as favorites, the contents of the favorites folder inside the windows directory. Now if I delete this favorites folder from the windows directory, on Quickmenu, all I'm left with under favorites is a few Opera shortcuts that load Opera and do work.
Any ideas where these Opera favorites are found so I can manually add to this list?
Thanks for your help!
Wayne
interent link launcher uses mortsript to open internet link files (i'm not sure of the extension, i haven't had time to try it yet)
On the opera favorites, opera asks you where you want to save the bookmark file too when you create one.
Come on guys.....
I've found this and if you go down the list and find \urlfile\Shell\Open\Command : REG_SZ it shows the necessary registry entry that is needed to run a url file from explorer and when run this file opens within IE correctly.
There must be a command switch that follows OPERA9.EXE or OPERAL.EXE that interprets the file correctly and opens the web page.
For now I've got it set to open files in to IE. Not great but nearly what I want.
(I posted about this last night, but it got lost -- apologies if the old one comes back and I look like I've posted twice.)
I worked out a solution to this problem, and posted it up at ppcgeeks. You have to install mortscript, but otherwise it's not too bad, and has been working flawlessly for me.

Hope it helps.
I have SKTools, Total Commander, and Registry Key Editors.
I tried setting up file associations to open URL files, but it doesn't work. Only PIE opens the URL files by default.
Can I get the instructions to open URL files with Opera Browser?
Bump, please help me.
This is my 1st bump.
Bump, please help me.
This is my 2nd bump.
As far as I know you can set up thatparameters typing opera:config on your device
Hope it helped,
So do you mean the file associations parameters should be "opera:config"?
URL associations are set up by the app you're using.
if opera is defined as your default browser any url you'll open will automatically pop opera up.
Okay, I am using File Explorer and Total Commander. I want to Open .url files with Opera, it opens with PIE instead.
How do I open it?
What is a "default calendar"?
When I set URL file association for Total Commander, the link does not go online, instead it brings me to an error page. Under the URL box in Opera Browser, it would not show www.google.com, instead it would show something like: storage card/%mystuff/%20favorite links
So if I copied a google.com url into my phone storage card, I want to open it and GO ONLINE with Opera Browser NOT PIE. How do i do this?
PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE ATTACHMENT, SO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT KIND OF FILE I AM TALKING ABOUT.
meant browser.. not calendar.
when you setup a default browser it will open up all urls in it... automatically

I used Xperia Tweak to setup Opera Browser as my default browser, I still open google.url and it opens with PIE.
My basic file program is Total Commander.
BTW I am not talking about Microsoft Windows. I am talkin about Windows Mobile, and the phone I use is the Xperia X1.
Why is everyone giving me confusing answers. I'm getting more and more confused.
I have looked extremely hard for file associations for opera browser, and this is what i got:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1714441
I do not use morthscript though, and I'm afraid digging into will cause me to factory reset my phone again, and I have rest my phone 10 times already.
Please, tell me if there is any other way to Open URLs via Opera Browser.
I have this program which i downloaded ages ago. I cant remember where i got it from, so im just uploading it myself. Just to clarify, this is NOT my program.
You know how on a pc, you can right click and select "Open with"?
Well, this cab brings that to pocket pc's
Hope it helps
Yeah this is exactly what I was looking for. The thread link from one of my posts also talks about "open with" method. But I don't want to use mortscript.
If your cab is not going to work, I guess I will give up searching for a solution.
Anyways thanks, you are my miracle!.
Here is an update:
Nope... it opens Opera Browser but than it doesn't go to the website (the same exact thing happens if I set file associations for Opera, and the same exact thing still happens if I use the registry editor to change association values, xperia tweak doesn't work, total commander built in file associations doesn't work, sk tools file associations doesn't work either).
I GIVE UP
Registry settings
Hi
Registry settings where file defaults are is:
Hot Key Classes Root.
In this directory there are hundreds (or more) keys relating to all the different file extensions that are associated with programmes, etc. You need to look for:
.htm
.html
htmfile
htmlfile
There may be others. Basically if these keys exist the values you're looking for are the ones with the browser executable listed in them, for example opera9.exe/operaL.exe, iexplore.exe.
I hope that helps

as i see it you ar not talking of .htm or .html files.
You are talking off .url File's
normaly (xp) they are handled by the protocol handler
in wm6.1 there is no such thing and it is directly handeled by iexplore
opera wil not handle these i gues
you need to find a app that reads the urlfile an launh the app with the correct parrameters
you also need this
\hkcr\http,URL Protocol,
\hkcr\http\shell\open\command, ,"\windows\operaL.exe" %1
\hkcr\https,URL Protocol,
\hkcr\https\shell\open\command, ,"\windows\operaL.exe" %1
or you can try http://sourceforge.net/projects/jzsmartmort
(I posted about this last night, but the message got lost in some backup snafu. So I'll post it again. Apologies if they both end up here.)

It involves installing Mortscript, and having it handle passing the links to Opera. Seems to be working perfectly for me so far. Hopefully my instructions are not too convoluted. Enjoy.
Is there any way to save content to specific area? example: mp3 files to ringtone/alarm/notifications folder, from browser....
thanks.
Not at the moment. However, you can use one of the numerous File Managers (I prefer Astro at the moment) available on the Market to manually move the files.
I see, I was trying to make a website for ringtone, I also discovered with opera mini, you can save to sdcard but not specific folder, only in root directory... thank you for the responses...
ofcourse you can save file to any folder with opera mini.
There is a program called Download Crutch that allows you to save any file to your sd card, I'm not sure if you can set a direct path, but you don't have to use Opera specifically.
