Opera useful (java)scripts and other tips&tricks
Opera useful (java)scripts and other tips&tricks
As guinness suggested (Thanks!), I'll write here how you can install and use scripts with Opera browser (I'm assuming you use this browser in a portable way, 'cause ... you're here, aren't you? ):
1. go to your Opera directory;
2. enter your profile directory "Opera\profile";
3. create a folder called "userjs";
4. start Opera browser, write "opera:config" in your address bar and hit Enter;
5. in the Preferences Editor window, using the search field, search for "javascript" and you'll get something like this:
6. make sure the highlighted fields look the same as in the screenshot above;
7. download the desired script (these files have ".js" extension) and save it in your newly created "userjs" folder ("Opera\profile\userjs");
8. restart Opera browser.
Note: disregard all the above quotation marks.
First example (go to the script's homepage, right click the "Install" button and choose "Save Linked Content As..."):
Linkify plus - Turn plain text URLs into links. Supports http, https, ftp, email addresses.
Version: 2.0.1
Tested with Opera 10.61 on win7x64 and Firefox 4 pre beta 6 with Greasemonkey 2010.09.10 beta (I'll mention if it works with Greasemonkey for FF, too, but Opera is the main subject here ).
P.S. if you use Greasemonkey, you obviously don't need instructions on how to use scripts with Firefox!

Enhanced Image Sizer - can fit image to view-port width/height or view image as is. But there are few more or less useful features.

Re: Opera useful (and tested) (java)scripts
Great thread! Just a suggestion maybe in your first post explain how to install UserScripts for those that aren't familiar with Opera.

Re: Opera useful (and tested) (java)scripts
Nice tutorial. What program did you use to achieve the highlighting?
Re: Opera useful (and tested) (java)scripts
I'm pretty sure that's the editor inside Faststone Capture (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=775).guinness wrote:Nice tutorial. What program did you use to achieve the highlighting?
PicPick can do that by just creating a 50% transparent yellow box. However, it doesn't have that nice dropshadow. I still prefer PicPick however because it has an undo function.
Re: Opera useful (and tested) (java)scripts
Excellent! I know in the main subforum for is "Opera Portable," Checker used FastStone to capture a screenshot. Maybe I should check this out! I too use PicPick and have been happy with the performance of the software in the past.
Re: Opera useful (and tested) (java)scripts
Yes, FSCapture.
I have no "main" screenshot app! I use many at the same time (about ... 7). This time it happened to be FSCapture.

Re: Opera useful (and tested) (java)scripts
I have tried some userscripts from http://www.pallab.net/2010/07/06/opera-best-userjs/, i.e. the following: YouTube Downloader, Show Just Image, Document Viewer and NoDelay. Then I experienced some problems with sites that, I assume, use javascript for e.g. drop-down menus or picture galleries. It all worked again after having deactivated userscripts.
I have no experience with javascripts. (Maybe so I shouldn't have tried them?...) How I can I find out what's going wrong there? Well, with trial and error I could probably find out which one causes problems with which other one. But is there a beginner-proof and yet more elegant way?

I never knew how easy it is to create a new search in Opera, until I saw the info in the lower right corner of DDG page:
- right-click the search box (in the page of the search engine).
- select Create Search (the search address is automatically inserted).
- enter a key for keyword.
- hit OK.

I mentioned in the Opera 12 thread I would be posting some more tips and tricks and in the process came across this website >> http://www.aimwell.org/Help/Tips/tips.html
Re: Opera useful (java)scripts and other tips&tricks
This Ghacks post led me to find an "Opera's NoScript alternative" called NotScripts.
