  Did anyone else see this comment from the 2007 post? Some guy's first and honest reaction to Speed Dial!

  digg comments [if anybody bothers to add this] should tell you what market thinks about gizmos like that. with xul you can make extension like that in just an hour. without problems with middleclick and others. if somebody find it usefull that is.

  i realy dont now what you had in mind making a great secret of this. this is just another feature, tat make opera look more nerd'ish than it should. cool factor -1

  
  Spot on

  Read the "Known issues".

• Dierk Haasis24. February 2011, 15:58

  As long as I can decide to have a rather static Speed Dial, the way it is now, instead of that crap Chrome thinks helpful ...

• Luca24. February 2011, 16:03

  Mhmhmhm i think too it's better to have a "choice" for the speed dial way :| I prefear a static speed dial too, so pls let the users choose between the speed dial modes! T_T

• Onecar24. February 2011, 16:04

  I can't see any difference in Speed Dial comparing to stable build of Opera 11. Am I alone?

• João Eiras24. February 2011, 16:05

  Quite weird. The big plus button in the speeddial can be dragged into the tab bar (but does nothing).

• Azrael24. February 2011, 16:06

  On the plus side : the Speed dial is no longer cluttered with useless empty boxes.
  On the bad side : all the boxes are far too tiny and clustered on the top, exactly where i don't want them.
  Let's hope the next snapshot will add the possibility top move them around and enlarge them. Until then i will have to grin and bear it.

  DSK-328990: button with "Execute program" doesn't work

  What prevents you from having a "static" speed dial in this build?

• Onecar24. February 2011, 16:08

  Okey I get it, speed dial has no limitations. Nice, looking forward for the upcoming stuff.

• set24. February 2011, 16:08

  Right now, if I have a lot of speed dials, and I do, I have to scroll to the bottom EVERY time I open speed dial just to reach those bottom speed dials.
  
  IMO, having speed dials to be text only (so more sites can be on the screen at the same time) would be much more useful.
  
  What's the point of Speed dial if i have to scroll to open sites? Not what I'd call fast...

• Mustafa OĞUZ24. February 2011, 16:08

  CORE-35514 (Opera freezes on some turkish sites) seems fixed under Win7

• Crabman24. February 2011, 16:09

  Won't complain too much, first peek and all, but right now there's an awful lot of wasted space. I use the 5x4 config and it fits my window perfectly but with the new version I can see less than half of my entries on screen at any time.

  how i do it?
  Dunno your opera but mine has a page that i have to scroll down to look all my speed dial bookmarks :|

• nahtanoj99924. February 2011, 16:11

  I found one discoverability feature: the banner at the bottom of the screen saying to press space to go to the next page. The problem is, it showed before I got to the bottom of the page, so it was lying.

  The content of the speed dials is still determined by you, no change there.

  The speed dial page is now scrollable! The large "+" speed dial at the bottom can be improved. This empty speed dial occupies too much space and reduces the size of other speed dials. A much smaller button at the end of the speed dial list will be fine.

• Olli24. February 2011, 16:16

  So now you get your proper problem description, can't believe you haven't seen this.
  
  First thing: When updating from the last build, Speed Dial preview tab is green, so does not work. After changing to Speed Dial for the first time this becomes ok.
  
  So the worst thing: I'm using 4x3 Speed Dial and when going to this build the previews are in an other order and just use half of the pages space (as I already wrote). Plus they're much too small. And this all occurs in the Mac version and I can't find it in the known issues. Maybe this is intended and the additional space is used for the flowing Dial, but I don't want to have more than those 12 prevs on it.
  
  And I know that this is just a snapshot, I'm using snapshots for years.

• Pallab De24. February 2011, 16:16

  I wanna see Clippy!

• Ericksman24. February 2011, 16:16

  Please fully consider multiple speed-dial item when the layout of the problem.
  

• David Tsunamy24. February 2011, 16:17

  Please, remove the scroll to see the lastest layout and add "Layout size" option!!

• Topi24. February 2011, 16:19

  Scrollable speed dials... try with small screen netbook.
  Back to previous. ->
  

• Cyro24. February 2011, 16:24

  As an improvement, I'd like to have more control over their thumbnails. Like for an example instead of having a diminished version of the entire website, to actually pick up a square of a website and set it as thumbnail.
  Refreshable, of course. An example would be stockings or weather of a specific website...
  Another example of speed dial thumbnail is the DT blog. I could select a square of the first post placement.
  
  Also, to categorize them into different groups. But I bet you are already working on that.

• Pierre24. February 2011, 16:24

  Let us know if you can find the three features we have added discoverability to.

  
  lng diff :
  

  -1355926367="You can type a search word directly in the address field."
  -1037440252="You can type '%1' + space and your search word to get search suggestions from '%2' here."
  -486602218="Press space to go to the next page"

  

• D1sasterp1ece24. February 2011, 16:29

  In this build, Opera is still unusable when Link is enabled - it seems to be the reason for lots of crashes.

  Not many people store his icons on the desktop arranged by Name/Size/... Many people like create some "pictures" from icons same with Speed dial. Don't need force them keep shortcuts as list (new version). Allow them use only first and last gaps, but see all nine(choose your number)

• potke24. February 2011, 16:30

  Opera still crashes when I try to import to feed list

• Grasli24. February 2011, 16:31

  You probably know this already as it says "slightly older skin"..;
  In thumbnails views there is a graphics bug when the last tab is a STACKED tab (the glass line overlaps the New Tab-button). Probably known.
  
  Same as previous build;
  In maximized normal Opera view, the top glass-line of tab-stacks is not visible. Too little space at the top. Its shown in thumbbnails view on the top (but not bottom!), but in normal view there's too little space up there..

• Laurent24. February 2011, 16:32

  well, speed dial isn't much different for me. I see it needs some scrolling now but I guess it is temporary. As I don't really use it in my daily usage, I'm not sure it will make much of a difference.
  Speed dial is really useful on my Opera Mini. On the desktop, I keep tabs opened.
  
  One general observation: dialogs (such as Preference) are not scaled for Netbooks and some content is hidden out of the screen,
  
  Keep the new builds come in. We're having too much fun with them!

• Mod052824. February 2011, 16:33

  In this snapshot too much wasted space on speeddial. I'm using 3x5 and now have half mine 24" monitor screen is empty. Any chance to make bigger speeddial icons?

• Pierre24. February 2011, 16:33

  places.sqlite native import still work in progress ?

• Hasina24. February 2011, 16:34

  Awesome build.

• pchidamb24. February 2011, 16:36

  Please please fix DSK326948. I have to use chrome just because of this little bug.

  Do you have a very large monitor? Or else there's something seriously wrong, and a screenshot might be useful then. We know the speed dials are currently of a fixed size, but 12 dials shouldn't look too weird on a 1680*1050 screen for example.
  

• lwiczek24. February 2011, 16:37

  Hmm... I cannot place SpeedDial items in the bottom right corner - huge disadvantage over previous solution...

  None of your descriptions make sense to me. Have you considered linking to screenshots?

  Add opera:blank if you want spaces?

  It would be polite for others reading along to give a little bit more info. Also, it just works for me (with a second delay, but then, it's using that Ajaxy stuff).
  

• ahoj123424. February 2011, 16:43

  Well,good job:) but i have questions :
  1)acid 3 test 97/100 and if I want to do test again,it is saying "Scripting must be enabled to use this test." It is still here from first alpha of barracuda and it isn´t in known issues,why?
  2)DSK-327834 (Crash on startup for upgrade from 11.01.1190 to 11.10.24399)-well,we haven´t had a build 11.10.24399 yet so..

  Yammer.com -> The "More"-Button under a message doesn't work correctly. The list entrys such as "Delete message" aren't accessible / clickable.
