I am also having the same problem with having to download the widget every time I would like to use it! Where is the author I see he/she has not responded to Zacknafain.
It works great in opera 9.20,I did notice that the widget "disappeared" when I used it and thought I had to redownload it but nope,it was just minimized to my WinXP task bar.
Running Opera 9.21 in Ubuntu Linux. I have to reload the widget every single time I want to use it. Very irritating. If you could fix this, it would be great. If you try to start Opera again with the widget up at the time of close, when Opera opens again it has a mostly blank screen.
gracias..funciona en winxp sp2
THis is a supurb widget however as many above have indicated you need to download it everytime you want to use it. This does not make sense. I use Opera 9.21 on Windows XP
http://metamark.net/ - it's better and has a shorter url name and stats and stuff. Thanks in advance.
tryied to downloaded 10 times but giving some problem, can not be downloaded
This widget won't starup in Opera. What's the point if you have to download it everytime to use it? Might as well use a free url shortening web site to do that.
The last update to this widget was in 2006 (same for URLzipper widget). I can attest that at one time both of these widgets worked but it appears that neither is currently functional. I hope that someone with stronger programming skills than I have either fixes one of these or builds a new one that works in the current version of Opera.
Alternate way of getting this widget functional: Open up the zip file containing the widget. There will be two folders there, one version for Mac, and one for Windows. Inside the Windows tinyURL folder, there will be all the files needed to run the widget. Simply zip these together, put it in the main widget folder, and call the package whatever you want. Then drag and drop the zip onto your Opera window. Voila, a working version. Have not tried this for the Mac version.
Thanks alexs, that button works great!
I can't seem to get this to work with Opera Build 9981, the widget loads OK but dose not display anything on screen, hope you can get this to work with Opera 9.50. Windows XP Home +SP3
Didn't work for me, either. So, I made tinyurl an address field search. Then, type my keyword "t" +space into the address field before a long url - hit enter and voila, the tinyurl is in my clipboard.
Looks like it launces, but can't see or interact with it. Version 9.60 Build 10447 Platform Win32 System Windows XP Java Sun Java Runtime Environment version 1.6
Tinyurl sucks rocks. Does anyone know if there's one for Snipr or if I can customize this for it? Thanks!
it doesn't work in my pc
Does not work!!! This widget is pretty unsupported at this point. You might want to consider using the widget by url.synthlife.com . http://widgets.opera.com/widget/12261 .
How is this closed?
excellent (so far) in opera 10, just include a "X" in widget for future thanks!
So simple and useful. Though, don't you handle any other service(e.g. bit.ly, Google URL Shortener, etc)? TinyURL is a bit long due to its domain name.
