Another Unite round

August 21, 2009 · by Manuela Hutter

Here's yet another snapshot, with more Opera Unite fixes.

Upgrading to a 10.10 build should work smoothly now. We have also fixed a lot of the connection issues that people were seeing, so most of these problems should be gone now.

Apart from that, the installation of widgets is working again.

Happy testing!

Known Issues

Some Unix builds may be missing, but most of them will be continuously uploaded
Panel bar is showing by default in a clean installation
Unite crashes if both UPnP and UPnP Service Discovery are disabled

WARNING: This is a development snapshot: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

thank you!

Thanks

Haven't tried this build yet, can anyone confirm if it's now possible to remove menu icon (when menu is hidden)?

As behavior has changed since Beta 3 or few builds before.

Nevermind, it doesn't work.
ouzoWTF21. August 2009, 13:05
THANKS!
Zotlan21. August 2009, 13:20
Definitely picking up the pace there. Nice.
xarisfil21. August 2009, 13:20
Thanks for the build!

I've just noticed that pressing the down arrow key in the search field on the address bar does not open the search dropdown menu, thus making the use of mouse necessary to choose a search engine other than Google. Even if you open the menu with the mouse, the up/and arrow keys do not work to move between the different engines.

On Windows XP3 10.10 - Beta Build 1729
geeneeyes21. August 2009, 13:20
great! testing this build now..
people please report bugs here http://bugs.opera.com/wizard
TurboBorsuk21. August 2009, 13:23
It's great but PLEASEEEEEE revert to the old skin where 'new tab' 'panels' and 'closed tabs' didn't look like tabs!

Hmm, it works for me. Did you try a clean profile ?
geeneeyes21. August 2009, 13:30
wish you would make the menu, panels and closed tabs buttons look consistent with the theme design

Starting Unite crashes this build instantly for me

Running Unite services Media Player, Opera Messenger and Document Courier.

Have rolled back to build 4529 whose Unite works without problem.

(Linux, GCC4 shared QT3)

Please, stop creating a desktop icon and rearranging the icon in the quick launch every time I am updating Opera.

Galileo21. August 2009, 13:52

When a unite service is limited with a password shouldn't the url include the password or was that removed?
Zajec21. August 2009, 13:57
Do you have plans to enable video support in 10.10?

If we change the behavior, it will surely be noted in the changelog... You can hide it by not showing the tab bar head toolbar (the little toolbar that also has the panel toggle button).

Give it a bit, it'll come back, either when you change something about the interface, maybe change something in "Preferences" or when you close and re-open Opera.
Gap5121. August 2009, 14:15
FileSaring and PhotoSharing are broken for me.
Roll back to previous build.
Filip00721. August 2009, 14:17

It works! Thank you. I have reset the appearance, went to customize window, checked that icon, switched to off and it's gone.

Previously, it just reappeared

Try this one, geeneeyes

>Fixed Bug DSK-261754 (Should not be able to drag and drop files into file input fields from UNIX file managers with Qt3 builds)

Still not working for me. Tested on qt3 and qt4 versions for both, amd64 and i386 versions; on my native amd64 debian testing and chrooted i386 debian stable.

Tried to drag from nautilus 2.26.3 and gThumb 2.10.11.

Same behaviour for me, here on Win XP, classic install, clean profile.

Please see the latest known issue, and try to run Opera without disabling all of UPnP.

oups, sorry

> Fixed Bug DSK-261754 (Should not be able to drag and drop files into file input fields from UNIX file managers with Qt3 builds)

WHY!?!? That's a great feature! Why must I navigate all way to a file in "open" dialog when I have this file ready in Nautilus window?

What, you will remove d'n'd to "attachments" section in composer next?
silencer2221. August 2009, 14:55
soup.io there is a lot of problems with opera only...

Win 7 pinned icon to taskbar disappear after update.

You could but as I'm using only the tab bar and placing buttons elsewhere than tab bar head bar makes them kind of tabs. Looks funny to have a button in a tab. So I've to use the tab bar head bar.

I can confirm on the same OS since yesterday's build. I didn't report it because it works for a friend and mine wasn't a clean install.

I'm going to do it now and I let you know if it works.

EDIT: There is no need of a clean install, the problem happens if you have a custom keyboard file. Delete it, start over and you're done.

Where's the new icon?
Z1-AV6921. August 2009, 16:22
No way to get Unite running without crashing the browser over here. Also the home service doesn't show up in the panel at all.

Sorry, I'm back to 1708, again. The last 2 snapshots didn't deliver.

(Also the announcing twitter message from @Opera linked to the last snapshot.)

See the changelog for the previous build, they reverted the fix for the transparent tray icon, because it introduced a lot of other problems.

Thanks. But I am still waiting for DSK-257734.
