How to open multiple web pages from Opera Speed Dial?
9 CommentsPublished May 8th, 2009 4:58 AM EDT By Tamil
There are several ways to open multiple web pages.
- Bookmarking web pages to a folder, navigating to folder from bookmarks menu and clicking Open All Folder Items.
- Bookmarking web pages to a folder, giving nickname to folder and entering nickname in address field or setting nickname as home page in Tools > Preferences… > General > Home page.
- Opening web pages, saving them as session File > Sessions > Save This Session… and opening it File > Sessions.
The advantage of sessions over bookmarks is it can store several settings (zoom, fit to width, images, etc.) per tab.
Sessions can be opened quickly by assigning it to a Speed Dial slot.
- Open web pages.
- Save them as session File > Sessions > Save This Session….
- Assign it to a Speed Dial slot.
The path to session file should not contain space. If path has space use DOS name. To find DOS name of a directory/file, open Command Prompt, change path to parent directory of directory/file and type the following command.
dir /x
Command Prompt to find DOS name
| Directory name | DOS name |
|---|---|
| Program Files | PROGRA~1 |
| Documents and Settings | DOCUME~1 |
| Application Data | APPLIC~1 |
Speed Dial edit dialog with path to session file
Note the WIN extension at the end of the session name.

Why this no-space limitation?
Reverting to DOS names seems like a terrible solution to the issue (an pretty old-timer too).

I agree with Marc-O
Filename limitations are an indication of a programming mistake ( or shortcoming).
This should be fixed asap

i dont mean to hijack this thread but can you provide some insight if Opera 10 will support older OS like Win98SE? i tried installing Opera 10 build 1551 yesterday but all i get is an invalid page fault error. t hanks

Well, I’ve tried the new build (opera 10 beta). On linux the turbo is a nice thing to have. The only thing that gets me is why everything is so sticky. Before clicking on menu you would have to hover over an item now you must click rather than having free-flow. It reminds me of older qt apps… I hope this is because it is beta.
