Hello,
I've been hoping to see these simple few features on desktop versions of
opera (win/mac - not sure it applies to other platforms) :
In the transfers window, in your IContextMenu host, would it be possible
to add an "Open containing folder" item ? And a "Show In Finder" on mac ?
Would it also be possible to specify multiple default download folders ?
Perhaps using some SetDefaultFolder command that one could use in a custom
button in the popup window ?
And last but not least, there is a behaviour in Safari that I really
like, and would hope to see in Opera : If you download a compressed file,
that contains only one item (a single file, or a single root folder in the
archive), it is automatically decompressed at the end and the archive is
disposed.

From the brown nose in me : Opera is just good enough to warrant me
dropping use of the online google tools, however excellent, but that
google just doesn't seem to care whether they work in opera or not. Kudos
on a tool suitable for geeks and beginners alike, I know how hard that is.

Hoping I haven't violated any netiquette or such, and that this is the
right ng,

Best Regards,
Eric Doughty-Papassideris

I have a button for it on my transfers panel:

Opera button link:
opera:/button/Open%20transfer%20folder,,,%20%22Open%20folder%22,%20%22Folder.open%22

Or use "Open transfer folder,,, "Open folder", "Folder.open"" (without the
outer quotes) as action on http://tools.larskleinschmidt.de/opbuttongen

Actually, that button doesnt seem to work on the Mac. So I have to
reiterate my request. Please don't forget about the automatic unzip too,
that would be fantastic.
