Link fixes and Unite search engine blocking

June 30, 2009 · by haavard

A new build is ready.

Search engine synchronization should be working again now, but those who are upgrading from certain previous Opera 10 builds (including the Unite labs build) may have problems with some search engines not being synchronized. If this happens, try to set opera:config#OperaSync|SyncClientStateSearches to 0 (no restart required).

Note: All Solaris builds and some FreeBSD builds are missing. The Windows MSI package is English-only.

Highlights

Search engine synchronization should now be working again
Added "robots.txt" to prevent search engines from indexing Unite services by default
Fixed several Opera Unite crashes

Known Issues

Some search engines may be missing when synchronizing with some previous Opera 10 builds
Text nearly invisible on incactive/greyed-out buttons
Native skin is work in progress
Some Windows users may get an error related opera6.ini in the system32 folder. This can be ignored

Amazing, first! (edit: Tamil beat me... )
I was having some memory leakage issues with the previous build (Linux), let's hope for the best!

I got this message when upgrading previous build via Classic installer:
```
The file C:\WINDOWS\system32\opera6.ini could not be opened.
[ OK ]
```
Bill_P30. June 2009, 14:42
is there a problem with turbo mode and qt4/x64? as I keep getting the error "opera turbo crrently not available" and "unable to publish a connection". Or is turbo down?
eldarien30. June 2009, 14:43
In Tools-Appearance you can choose preferred normal font (including (!) font color, black by default) and background color (white by default). Background color works Ok on simple html page without styles, font color -- doesn't -- it is always black. This is first.
Background color does not apply to side panel lists (bookmarks and others) and feeds/mail lists (from Feeds-Read feeds). This is second.
Both issues makes impossible to use Opera with dark backgrounds.
Also, in native skin mode, opera ignores system color settings.

Can anybody confirm this?
Onecar30. June 2009, 14:48
The "known issues" are a bit too annoying for me, especially the potential loss of some custom search engines (I use a lot of them everyday, without them I am like without a hand), so I am not gonna try this build this time.

Make me happy and make another "second build of the week" without these "features". Thx and stay tuned :-)

I got the same message. I clicked "no" to the rolling back and build 1615 seems to be working ok, up to now.

The menu from the menu button is not being shown right below the menu button but far to the right.

Confirmed on WinXP SP3 EN, but only if window is maximized.

Thx for fixing DSK-256929.
Now if only that strange blueish hue inside the little star would be removed, then it would be perfect.

Menu bar icon? In case you're talking about the menu button when hiding the menu bar, that one can be removed:
Appearance... → click the menu button to highlight it (yellow framing) → change toolbar placement from Top to Off.

It's not impossible if you read. They just made it very unintuitive on purpose.

By the way, the wrong positioning of the menu button's menu can be fixed by placing a dynamic spacer in front of it.

After installing I get a message that there is no disc in drive D:, what is true, but why does Opera checks if theres a disc?

Welcome to the party. Best advice I've heard is to try to find how your bugs break high profile sites (google, gmail, facebook, yahoo, etc). Aside from that, just get used to it.

If operapref.ini contains only path to Opera Directory, Opera uses default directory for the following items.
- Mail Root Directory
- Cache Directory4
- Opera Local Directory
- Operator Cache Directory4
- Temporary Download Directory

In build 1606 both visited and non-visited bookmarks had a red icon on the personal bar, which was very difficult to distinguish.
Whether the disappearing favicons have been fixed... only time will tell.

Where do i file report for this DSK-####### like Ghosting icons on Personal bar

Or was maybe fixed
the_Arioch30. June 2009, 16:25
Does anyone used DealExtreme.com ? Especially if behind MS ISA server with password-protection (different allowed internet zones by user accounts in Active Directory) ?

Generally it works relatively ok, except for customers service tickets and sometimes forums. When trying to post the form, Opera goes into infinite loop of connecting <->seding request.

At same time, IE works ok.

Anyone experienced like that ?

Such a short Change log. I'm really disappointed

I've noticed that the download (windows msi) is smaller than. Is this only because of missing languages, or has there been some improvement lately?

Unfortunately there is no open bug tracking system from Opera.
There is one from Remco 'though:
