Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: chris (thelusiv) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: opera open new page option Initial Comment: this is a bit more like a feature request than a bug. please bear with me. well i don't know if i should say it doesn't work correctly. as many people know, one of opera's strong points is it's mdi feature. well, if you set your browser in gaim to opera and are using opera 6.12 (the latest stable version in which you pick sdi or mdi when you start opera) and you check "open in new window" it opens it in a new window if you're sdi, or in a new page if you're using opera mdi. i believe gaim does this by executing the command "opera -newwindow %s". that's fine. however, in the new version of opera for linux (currently 7.1 beta 1) they have changed things slightly. now you can open a new opera window at any time, not just when you start opera. you can have 7 pages open in one window, 3 in another, etc. the problem arises in that gaim still executes "opera -newwindow %s" and this causes it to always open a new window, where 95% of users are going to want a new page, not a new window. the solution of course is to set it to "manual" instead of opera, and use the command "opera -newpage % s". i know this might seem sorta trivial, since this only affects the beta right now (and since it is very easy to use the manual command to override it). however, mozilla also supports tabbed browsing now, i think it might be worth adding a "open in new tab" feature in the gaim browser options. opera 6.x also supports the -newpage option so it would be backwards compatible. any chance of that happening? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-17 15:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.
