Awesome Opera tip

Want to always save a certain filetype into a certain folder?

Go to preferences/advanced tab.

Click on "download"

Now you get a list of mime types.

Find the one you want to change by looking at the extension, make sure "hide file types opened with opera" is not checked. You can type in the extension in the "quick find" textbox to locate it.

Click on "edit" for the file type you located.

Now change the setting to:

Save to disk.
"Do not ask for bla bla, save directly to folder"

Now chose the folder and OK the changes.

From now on all you need to do is click on the file to download and it will be saved directly to your chosen location without doing anything else but clicking on the file.

If you don't see your preferred file type in the list, first click on a link to download that filetype, in the "save as" dialog that pops up put a checkmark in "always bla bla" and save the file. That will give you an entry in the download list that you can now change.

This is fucking awesome. For example I use newsbin to get nbz files that my automated newsdownloader will use to download shit, I hooked opera up now so it saves the nbz files across my network to my fileserver in the folder that my newsdownloader scans for nbz files, so now all I have to do is click on nbz files I want to doawnload and I don't have to do shit else.
