open tabs limit

[charles]

Using Opera 10.01 I opened up a bunch of tabs (6) simultaneously today
and got a popup box asking whether it was OK. I checked the box not to
ask again.

Looking at the setting it reads: "Confirm Open Bookmark Limit=-5"

My question is: What does the -5 mean? Per the documentation I would
expect a positive number or 0 to disable.

Just curious. Thanks.

A complete guess, but perhaps this is a quick way of storing the limit as
well as a toggle to enable the feature or not. Negative values might mean
the feature is disabled whilst preserving the last used value. When you
toggle the setting, Opera simply divides the value by -1.

It may not be much use to this setting, but it may have been a method used
generally to avoid requiring two values for some settings in the INI files.
