I’ve been using Opera<\/a> 10 on OS X for a few months now. Even though it crashes a few times a day I’m still kind of attached to it, not exactly sure why.<\/p>\n

Interesting thing happened with latest upgrade from Opera 10 beta 3 to their Release Candidate. They’ve decided that I don’t really need my bookmarks anymore and that I want to revert to 9.63 bookmarks for some reason, even though I’ve never used that version of Opera. To make it nicer on end user, they say: This RC will no longer use the Beta preferences we’ve been using throughout the development cycle, but upgrade your old 9.64 preferences if you haven’t already done this.<\/em><\/p>\n

Anyway, what happens if you actually _want_ to get your Beta preferences on OS X?<\/p>\n

Simple, go to:<\/p>\n

1. Quit Opera<\/p>\n

2. Go to ~\/Library\/Preferences\/ and look for “Opera Preferences 10” and “Opera Preferences”<\/p>\n

3. Rename “Opera Preferences” to “Opera Preferences.old”<\/p>\n

4. Rename “Opera Preferences 10″ to ” Opera Preferences”<\/p>\n

5. Start Opera<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This will give you back your Opera 10 beta Preferences, allowing you to continue your normal work. Too bad Opera doesn’t provide a transition path and makes us seek out configuration files. I’ve also failed to find this information in their Knowledge base, hence this blog post.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if this RC crashes just a couple a times a day (compared to beta versions), I’ll be a happy camper. Maybe they’ll even get proper Unicode working on of these days.<\/em><\/p>\n
