Very nice for my Vista PE builds ... one error: the tabs-left and tabs-top settings are reversed. Should be:

If,%TabPlacement_ScrollBox%,EQUAL,"Tabs Top",IniWrite,"%TargetDir%\%OutDir%\profile\Opera6.ini","User Prefs","Pagebar Alignment","2"

If,%TabPlacement_ScrollBox%,EQUAL,"Tabs Left",IniWrite,"%TargetDir%\%OutDir%\profile\Opera6.ini","User Prefs","Pagebar Alignment","1"

Curious! I'm pretty sure i've tested that.
I will have a look and upload a fixed version in a day or two.

Thanks for the info and delivering the fix right along, that's the way i like my customers!

Once again downloaded it and forgot about the CD part being in the beginning. I looked for it and tought I had placed it somewhere else. Then I tried downloading it again and saw that it had the CD part in the beginning.

Im renaming it to so I can find it easily when looking for the script.
Opera_8.54_from_CD.script

Great additions.

For some reason the labels keep disappering when I go from Winbuilder to something else and come back to the Opera script.

Had to rename to just Opera from CD-Opera. Easier to find.

Many great options.

Ill try out the MedEvil toolbar style. I like the toolbar layout.
I like tabs at bottom too.

Choose other skin has a tooltip that says "Click to select" instead of "Click to select skin[s]"
I love that you have this option too. A user is not limited by default skin.

Nice: it has support for multiple languages.

That's a problem of WB not the script.

Feel free to do so, but i keep the name CD-Opera, as we already have Opera scripts that work quite differently from mine.

Glad you like my taste in layouts, if you do hate my naming.

There's no way i can set the tooltip. Nuno hardcoded the tooltip into the interface object.

As mentioned above, thanks for that feature go to pedrole!

New version of CD-Opera is out. (v002)
It fixes the little problem JonF found along with some problems that i found related to the MedEvil toolbar style.
As it turns out, i coded the style too good and thereby prevented some settings from the script interface from ever becoming active with this style.

CD-Opera 8.54 v002

[TheHive]

Thanks! will write more later.

Opera v8.54 is one of my favs.!
Great job!
Thanks for the update, would you consider adding an option to customize the titlebar?
Anyhoo..This browser is really fast, I love it! I've set it as the default web browser for my WB script server. Firefox eats RAM for breakfast lunch and dinner, but certain features require it's functionality. The thing is, you could pack Opera inside of 4 self-extracting archives and it would still start faster.

Love to hear that!
What would you like to be able to change about the titlebar?
To be honest, at the moment i'm not really sure which one the titlebar is. It's half past 3 in the morning here.

I'm an early morning builder too.

the tile bar is what use see if you make this into at .bat file and run it.

@echo off

title Hello! I'm theTitleBar!

pause

currently is says 'CD-Opera', so I presume you know how to mod it.

[MedEvil]

For now you can change it, by extracting the OperaDef6.ini from the opera folder inside the script.
Open it and change Title=CD-Opera to Title=WhateverYouWant.
Save the file and add it back to the encoded opera folder. The old version will be automaticly overwritten.



PS: Just out of curiousity, what do you want to change it to?

[MedEvil]

New version of CD-Opera.

http://www.boot-land...w...iew&iden=70

It fixes a small bug, that strangly, only one person suffered from.
While at it, i also took the chance and updated a few internals. The new version should work better with the new nativeEx.

Anyone an idea why PE assumes that IE is installed, while it is not?
Damn thing overwrites half the settings of Opera upon start.

You could bring this to Ove attention. He might be able to shed some light.

RunFromCD_CheckBox

What is this used for?
It's only found in the interface section unless I'm mistaken
Of course this also begs another question..
Seriously though, very nice script.
thx. for the update!!

One note..
Please consider changing your opera6.ini and OperaDef6.ini files. They contain the variable %ProgramFiles% dozens of times but in PE there is no such variable. The result is folders named %ProgramFiles%. My webserver uses this script now and of course I wanted it to work right, so.. I changed all occurrences of %ProgramFiles% to PROGRA~1 in opera6.ini and OperaDef6.ini and Opera works correctly as the default browser. Hope this helps.

--edit--
I see %ProgramFiles% was added to the new script instead of the full path. I did not see if the variable was declared somehow but perhaps this is why the entries appeared to be overwriten to Medevil, they were never there.

It was in the standard interface i've created, when i started out. But there was never any code for it.
I read something about it in the forum but, what i've read made not enough sense to me, to write some code.
So i asked a few times for a simple explanation of how this should work, all i've got was a nice referring to the original, i didn't get. So it's still there, but still no code.

If you have no %ProgramFiles% on your PE then something is seriously wrong with your build.
The last time the system variables made trouble was in early january.

%ProgramFiles% is declared by BuildModel.

It is the feature to run Application directly from CD
in case of RAMISO build, to reduce size of RAMISO!

[thunn]

It's only found in the interface section
i.e, it does nothing in this script because it's not processed. For future use perhaps.

It is problem of the script, but feature is intended
for reducing size of RAMBoot build!

Thanks, that's the part i still got.
What i don't get is, what would have to be changed and to what.
The way i see it, one can put the [ProgrmFiles] folder anywhere one likes already, without problem just adopt the %ProgramFiles% variable and you're good to go.
But this was somehow ment to work differently.

btw. Anyone using that 'run from CD' feature at all, in his builds?

My point exactly, that's why I modified it and removed the "CD-" whenever found and renamed it just Opera 854. Internal files were also updated.
I heep it here.

if (Opera >=6 && <=9)
System.out.println("This Browser is ***** please update to Opera 9.2 Portable Edition!");

hi =)

Hav a look at "Opera Portable"

I don't understand. you're soo smart, but use the oldest and lamest opera version.
The latest Opera version is better than any other browser out there, only the webkit engine can compete with it. Or Try the WebKit Engine for Windows (aka Safari for Windows)

[Brito]

temporaryinbox, please read rule #7 from our community board rules: http://www.boot-land...-rules-t82.html

At the moment medEvil has published a script which works very well - either updated or not - the important part is that it works and people can use it to browse the web.

Or do you also complain this way about IE even thought it rarely gets updated? - strange enough that I notice how you somehow seem to know medEvil.

Please solve any personal issues outside our community before flamming other members.

You're are always welcome on our forums and even invited to propose new alternatives from your own perspective of things but offensive terms or flamming are not, so I ask you to moderate yourself from this sort of writings from here forward.

Thank you!

@temporaryinbox.

Please keep an open view, Opera 8.54 is smaller than later versions and accesses web resources nearly as fast, (haven't timed it ). Furthermore, the layout and features changed with version 9, take the history for example, chronological is much better IMO. So.. different strokes for diff folks.
Bottom line, v8.54 is far good enough for most PE tasks.
