Is Opera 10 standard portable or not ?

Updated the entry

I saw a comment in the Opera database entry of why the entry was updated when Opera@USB or Opera Portable aren't updated? For those who haven't been following Opera is natively Portable (not stealth, creates a single 'useless' RegKey) therefore when it comes to security it's best to update when the Official is released, rather than waiting for the rest to follow, normally Opera@USB is a day behind and Opera Portable depends.

I think some users think making Opera portable from the installer is way too difficult, but both require one simple step of extracting and launching.

Opera (Official) - Extract the 'Classic Installer' using UniExtract. Launch opera.exe (located in MAINDIR) optional: delete the uninstaller.
Opera@USB - Extract .ZIP to a folder of your choice. Launch opera.exe

Opera 10.53 is now available, but the main site hasn't updated yet. The download can be grabbed from the FTP location (click on the download link in TPFC entry) I think this is easier than going through the Opera.com download route.

This release fixes a potential exploit that can take control of your PC, therefore I felt updating the database as soon as a stable release was available was important.

This site http://operawiki.info/Opera has a few good tweaks and tips.

Hi guinness,

I just tried this:

Code:

User JavaScript File={Resources}javascript
User JavaScript=1
Always Load User JavaScript=1

This doesn't work for me. Then I tried changing {Resources} to {LargePrefs} to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't.

Can you check your opera:about and see what it says for User Javascript folder?
Instead of parsing the special curly brace tag, it just lists {Resources}javascript.

Yeh I should have updated that post because soon after I found this didn't work for me either. Strange because the variable {Resources} works for everything else!

Code:

Always Load User JavaScript=1
User JavaScript File=javascript
User JavaScript=1

In the Opera folder where opera.exe is located create a folder named "javascript" and then in operaprefs.ini edit the following shown above, Opera uses relative paths. Then place all your javascript files here.

This folder is for my custom page scripts? (CSS files?)

Tried this... renamed "javascript" to "userjs" doesn't work for me!

Try this (not tested)

Code:

User JavaScript File=.\javascript\
User JavaScript=1
Always Load User JavaScript=1

Not working for me either.

Maybe it's because I'm using a JauntePE version of Opera?

guinness · **Joined:** Mon Aug 27, 2007 2:00 am **Posts:** 3726

This could be a possible factor, I don't have a JauntePE version of Opera and to be honest it's a little strange how it doesn't work. I will have to do a bit more testing and reading, because Opera excepts relative paths.

Is Opera 10 standard portable or not ?
