Kirk..
I agree ur method of using various workable notepad solution sounds far better than clunky multiple instances of om. I got that suggestion from a post i found here in sept, addressing the issue & had in back of memory, but havent yet reached my limit on bookmarks. That poster, if i remember correctly, made the multiple mini's sound pretty viable, but what u say, makes that sound crazy in comparison, so im gonna save ur post/links for if/when i DO reach some limit & start having problems w/bkmrks. Actually this om "next" 7, is already going bananas, intermittently, w/the saved pages & speedials, i.e. 'disappearing", reappearring, adding default googles, etc., really shaky! So any natively saved links, using a "live link capable" notepad, which is conveniently placed on ur device....is DEFINITELY THE WAY TO GO!!....and others should take heed & stop posting about losing their stuff. SO THANKS!
as to the bolt reappearance, i didnt mean to imply it was from orig dev (bitstream? or whoever it was?), but prolly someone else revamped.
*edit: hey kirk, i just thought of something... the "saved pages" function seems to be, in contrast to bkmrks & speeddials, a "hybid" folder, in that it saves (and loses..haha) on server side (mini), but also saves to sd card using the .ombl files, right?.....and those, when on the saved pages menu, are live links to whatever. So maybe (probably) im missing someth, but couldnt u simply use that & have sd card as backup in case opera loses anyth? Hmmm
**another update:
1st, sorry i didnt notice that ur post orig referred to BB, but i think still, that this issue goes beyond BB.
Also, i found the thread & post i referenced above, about that particular solution suggestions....w/the multiple operas. I can post if u wanna see it, but i made a mistake...it was in ref. to "saved pages", not bookmarks & ironically, so it is similar to the thought i just posted above, about using saved pages folder.
As far as the basic issue goes, i.e., opera losing stuff, i dont think it matters that much whether we are talking about bookmarks, saved pages, speeddials, notes, etc, in terms of using an off server, local solution, because such a solution can be used for any & all of what needs to saved, backed up & is clickable, no?
So this now brings up another issue that i didnt know about until i went back & found & reread the topic thread referenced above (from may). In it, mentioned, was fact (supposedly?) that saved pages also had a sz limit & so the multiple folders (i guess thats where the multiple operas comes in?) idea was intro'd. But that was in reference to older mini versions, 2, 3 & 4. So my question to you is do u know what is the limit now, in 7? If it is pretty lg, then using it, may be a simpler, less step, solution (along w/sd card backup!).
And lets say the number is pretty lg, say 1 or 200...how many more than that are truly practical (on phone) anyway. Plus, lets say more is desired than whatever is the limit....couldnt additional folders be created on card & subsequently then be chosen (by way of changing what folder to save to, choice, that mini offers? Am i making any sense (ok to lie to me)? :lol:
