I hope im not as confused as i think u are cuz i dont want to add to it...but lemme give it a shot...

"Hello! Its in opera mini.. When i try to save a page, its asking me to save it in a folder. But i did not."
=======
* 1st clue is mini tells u2 save it in a folder, but u admit u DID NOT!? = 1st mistake...
======
"I lost all the pages that ive saved,"
======
* the way i see it is if u didnt save to folder, u didnt SAVE in the 1st place.
======
"i dont know why,"
======
*see above...(u didnt "save")
======
" and the save pages folder is empty."
======
* that makes sense bcause [see above - no save = empty folder...aka..."no tickee, no shirtie"]
======
"And when i try to save a page, its asking me to save it in a folder."
======
*umm...u already said that in beginning. Are we going in circles? (wheeeeee....getting dizzy...)
======
"My question is: why does it need to save it in a folder, when the save pages folder is empty?"
======
*saved pages, according to my understanding, are saved locally, in your device or in a folder in memory card in ur device (as opposed to bkmrks & speeddials, which i believe are saved server side (opera), so when "it asks you to save to folder, afaik, its asking you to choose from a drop down list that incld's native phone folder & memory card. In my case, if i try to choose 1 of the listed phone directories, the save will fail, cuz my phone is a lo memory device & so will not allow me to do so. I suspect same is true in many cases. Maybe some phones (android?) have a lg enuff buit-in memory & allow it? So my only choice that works to save ANYTHING (aside from phonebook/contacts) is to save to micro sd card. I choose that & then the page gets saved there, in a file called an ".ombl" file. They're just a type of text file. So u get the ADDED BENEFIT of them being archived on ur card! (a good thing!). So YOU are in control. Then, there is opera link, which when activated & kept turned on (in settings) is SUPPOSED to save the pages on opera server (i guess?) & sync's them between you various computers & devices using opera browsers (i think...not positive...hope im not steering u wrong...please double-check my info....i get "lost" sometimz...i might even be "sleep-posting" right now...). But it (opera link) cannot do so until u 1st "SAVE TO YOUR MEMORY CARD!". And it seems that many peeps are losing their saved pps, esp when changing/upgrading browser versions, etc, so they should be safe on card, for restoring, if/when necessary (again, i may not be 100% correct about all this, so please confirm w/someone else). Also, in my case, if i remove the sd card from phone, then i cannot access the saved pps. Additionally (and strangely) when i later added a special "saved pages" folder, to my sd card, for an as yet undetermined reason (glitch, bug?), i could no longer access the saved pages, so i took those files OUT from the special sub-folder & just left the files loose on the root & then i could once again access the pages. That doesnt seem right to me & i have to recheck up on that aspect, but its a "heads up".
======
"It should be the page will directly save in the save pages, not in another folder."
======
*why, cuz u say so? (haha). The "save pages" directory (i dont know if its "a directory", but it "sounds good"..) is a server side (opera thingy), but they need YOUR FOLDER//YOUR MEMORY, to direct to. I think all above explanation (even if i got half of it wrong) is opera's way to help keep mini, mini !
Hope that helps. (sorry, just tryin 2put myself asleep)....ZZZzzzzzzzzzzz
======
"And what will i do to save the page, in the save pages folder, again?"
======
* ummm....hahaha.....u will be stuck in the "mulberry bush", back to NOT SAVING! (remenber, "wishing won't do it, saving WILL!)
*edit: to prove what an idiot i might be, i just realized that maybe u meant u were doing it correctly at 1st, but then went over the saved pages limit (it doesnt say so there, in saved pages, but lotsa ppl hav reported going over limit). If so, i really dont know, but i think you have to choose other folders, which would imply subfolders, which as i reported, didnt seem to work for me, so i dont know then, what the ans is, but if this is indeed the case for you, just try your "other" folder??
