At this point you can choose to leave it as is, have the pdf files open in Opera, go with the default application shown, or choose your favorite. This time you can see that the default action is to display a download dialogue. Note: The Hide file types opened with Opera setting automatically re-enables itself each time so make certain to deselect it.

Here we chose to look at the pdf file settings and used the quick search function this time. We decided to add another example where the default action is a little different. Once again we tried the same image shown above…Īnd it opened up perfectly in Paint.NET as desired. Make certain to click OK when returned to the Preferences Window…clicking on the “X” to close the window will undo all the changes that you have just made. Note: You could do a quick search for the specific file type, but having a good look through the listing is helpful for becoming more familiar with this part of Opera’s settings. Select the desired listing and click Edit to make changes to it. There are three listings showing jpg here, so all three will need to be modified or you may not get the desired result (as found during our tests). Now you are ready to scroll through the list until you locate the file type that you want to make changes for. The first thing you will need to do is deselect the Hide file types opened with Opera option. When the Preferences Window opens go to the Advanced Tab and click on Downloads. To access the action settings go to the Main Menu, then Settings, followed by Preferences.

For most people this is absolutely fine, but what if you want to use a specific photo app on your system to view the image? All that you need to do is tweak the action setting for that file type and all will be well. For our first example we chose to view an image by itself without permanently saving it to our hard-drive.Īs you can see the Open Image command opened the picture in Opera.
