Managing Opera bookmarks - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been looking around but I just can't seem to find the answer, even looked in the help section in the browser but no luck.
How do you select a bookmark to edit/delete? I can only manage to do this with the top bookmark, If I touch any others they just open and I can't see any option in the menus to move through the bookmarks to select them.
I am guessing the answer is so simple that I just can't see it.

Hi there Root Beer,
If you open any page, and on the menu bar tap the large star to bring up the bookmarks, and if you hold down on the icon to the right of the bookmark u wish to edit/delete it brings up a menu. (The key is to keep your finger on it to bring up the menu)
I hope that this helps.
Marty

Press and hold the bookmark to pop-up a menu.

How to transfer the IE bookmarks to opera ?

Hi, currently I have the Touch HD and the D2. Now I want to transfer the bookmarks from my HD to the D2. In which file are they stored?
Thanks for soon help.

Opera is good only on PC, not PPC.

Go into your windows folder, then the opera folder then copy the 'opera6' file to your memory card.
Then put this card in the td2 and copy the file into your windows>opera folder, (replace existing file)

Restore link to Wireless Manager in HTC Home?

I deleted the link for the Wireless Manager from the HTC Home Launcher in an attempt to move it to another box. But it actually doesn't show up on the list of programs from which you can assign links. Is there a way to restore that link without reinstalling HTC Home?
Also, it would be a great idea if drag and drop functionality was integrated into HTC Home.
I still can't find anything through forum searches. Anyone have an idea on this one? I'm using the latest version with the brightness fix.
Use something like resco explorer, browse to Windows directory, locate CommManager.exe and create a shortcut to programs folder (in the case of resco explorer - 'send to start menu as shortcut' is the command.
Thanks chris!

shortcuts

I would like to add my "favorites" to the today screen. I've added the kaiser tweaks and the HTC homepage plugin. No where does it allow me to put my favorites on a tab or on the menu. Does anyone have a way to do this? It would make jumping online for something so much quicker. Thanks
If you're using HTC Home, you can add shortcuts to the "launcher" tab.
Go start>settings>today then at the bottom tab shift to "HTC Home" and make sure "launcher" is checked to display.
Then from your Today screen, tap over to the "launcher" icon. You'll see two rows of little squares now (the top row is filled in). You can tap a black square and it will allow you to select which application launches from that sqaure. The little "x" allows you to unlock the squares to remove them.
If you want to add an application or shortcut not on the availabe list, sync to your PC and go into your device.....create a shortcut in the windows>start menu folder.
Hope that helps...if that's what you were looking for.
* this may of course all vary depending on which version of HTC Home you have loaded
Sounded brilliant but it didn't work. I'm working on XP and it wouldn't allow me to make a shortcut on the mobile phone (tilt). So I just copied my favorites folder into the program files folder, start menu folder, and anywhere else I thought it might show up. I got it onto the start screen, but there was nothing in it. Any other suggenstions?

It will work with XP, you may need to open two windows to do it.
From your PC (my computer) open a window for the device....surf down to Windows>Start menu.
Now go back to "my computer" again and open a second device window. Surf down to whatever directory you are looking for...then drop/drag the exe into the open start menu window.....select "create shortcut" and your done

Not sure I follow. It may not appear until you restart the device.
You'll get it, though. Keep tinkering.

If I understand you correctly, I think what you want is to be able to open your Internet Explorer Favorites quickly and easily on your Kaiser. If that's the case, what you need to do is check the "Favorites" box in ActiveSync - that will port all your favorites to your mobile device - then when you open Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE), all your favorites are available from there.

are you sure about that?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...n use Opera Mini as the system-level browser!
what about copy paste functionality in opera mini?
does mort have this?
tvos
well... actually there is a copy/paste option in opera mini straight after instalation. select what You want to copy, open onscreen keyboard and press ctl (ctrl for resco kbd) and c. to paste ctl + v.
is that cool or what?

I'll have to look at this a little more.
I didn't see any options during the install that allowed copy/paste option.
Since I have the pocket pc at&t tilt, I used the generic opera mini download. Does each version matter? Opera didn't list the carrier/provider for the device, hence my generic selection.

The copy / cut / paste has nothing to do with the inherent Opera install. If you are in Outlook or whatever, highlight what you want to copy, click copy. Open Opera the open the enter web address dialog, open the on screen keyboard and click ctrl and then v and the copied stuff will be pasted!
As far as I know you cannot copy from Opera to something else.
yah, I have done that before w/no problems, but its copying text in opera mini that is not functional.
thank you,
tvos
hmm...
I am having real difficulties understanding some of the posters in here. :/
look: You CAN copy/paste to/from opera mini.
tutorial:
part 1- copy
to copy text- select it with stylus, open onscreen keyboard (standard qwerty should work best), press CTL button and after that press C
to copy current address- go to web page You want to open somewhere else, press left softkey (menu) and choose "enter address", press right softkey (menu) and choose "current address", copy displayed address as text above.
part 2- paste
in pocket internet explorer or in most other apps hold stylus for few seconds in address bar or wherever You want the text to be pasted and select "paste" from menu.
to paste anything into opera select the place You want paste into and from onscreen keyboard press "ctl" then "V".
if You shall still have any questions how to those... then I cannot help You more. I won't post any screenshots, I will not record any video. damn. I just cannot be clear mo on this.
:/

bro
bronx,
I appreciate the info - copy/paste is basic common sense of functionality.
Anyways, opera mini does not allow me to copy text by highligting with the stylius. I am able to activate the virtual keyboard to enter text by typing, but to copy text using ctrl-c and highliteing is not a option.
I have been messing with Opera 8.6.5 and its not bad. Just would like to use the same gui as Opera Mini in 8.6.5
Is there a way to remove the scroll bars completely in 8.6.5 and to force full screen all the time?

Problem with start menu programs link - please help

When I click Programs on my start menu, the device just returns to the TouchFlo home screen. The settings link works fine.
Any idea what has gone wrong and how to fix it?
Programs menu...
Has the 'Programs' shortcut menu ever worked?
If so, it sounds like the folder may have been deleted or moved. Use a file explorer application and browse to 'Windows\Start Menu' - does this folder contain a 'Programs' folder?

It used to work fine and yes, Windows\Start Menu container a Programs folder.
When I double-tap it to open it in Total Commander, it opens in Total Commander absolutely fine and all my shortcuts are in there as expected.
One thing I notice though it may mean nothing is that unlike my Games sub-folder it has no icon.lnk file. As I say, that could mean nothing!
It appears that Programs in the start menu is a kind of default thing in Windows mobile, is there a reg setting that may have got screwed?
Thanks for the help. Anything else to suggest?
Rename the troublesome Programs folder in start menu to something else like Programs2. Next make a new folder and cut and paste all the shortcuts in the Programs2 folder into the new folder. Finally delete the original Programs2 folder. So you have made a new Programs folder. Let me know if that works.

Thanks for the idea. I have tried that but get exactly the same result.
One discovery I made is that if I disable the enlarged start menu, the Programs link works fine!
Anyway, if there are no more ideas from anyone, I fear a hard reset could be in order.
Thanks
Ahh shucks! Sorry it didn't work. I suggested it because I had the sae problem. I made a new folder in Start Menu called Phone and it stopped opening after a while. I did the trick above and it works fine now.
See I have unchecked favourite apps from showing in start menu by unchecking them in the Menu option in Settings. Instead, I created folders in the Start Menu folder, such as Internet, Media, Travel, Office, Games, System, Audio etc and copied the relevant shortcuts from progam folder to the new folders. So when I hit start menu from my home page, I get a drop down list of folders only. Much better in my opinion.

Interesting way of organising your Start Menu.
However, I would probably forget in which folders I put the apps! I quite like the Programs list - it does exactly what I want - so thats why I will just stick with that. I was actually wondering if there was a way of making that Programs folder look better - for instance removing the scrollbars or something. Just a nicer looking program launcher really, but as I say, I like the way it works for me.
Anyway, thanks very much for the help. The programs link is a special link of some sort I reckon, hence your fix didnt work. I think I will upgrade my ROM and do a hard reset!

Palm Application replacement

I switched from Palm to the Sprint TP with WM 6.1 (I love the change). When I had my Treo, there was a program called Sharklinks http://www.ludustech.com/sharklinks/ . It was great. It would create a palm launcher icon (shortcut), that was related to a browser url.
You would click on the shortcut, it would launch your browser, and bring you to the site.
Is there any such program that will work on the sprint TP.
TIA
You have a few options. If you want to access the icon from the today screen, you can add the URL shortcut file as a document to Today plug-ins like Resco Explorer.
You could also drop the URL shortcut into your /Windows/Start Menu directory or /Windows/Start Menu/Programs to get to it other ways.
I made the switch from Palm OS several years ago and am never going back.
use touchflo
as i recall, touchflo 3d displays your favorites from opera on the internet tab under the youtube link!
I guess I am trying to figure out how to create the url shortcut.
I want to set up a folder under the start menu for streaming radio stations.
I then want to setup shortcuts in the folder so that when I click on them the Station starts to play.
Do I just copy the URL, and past in the folder to create the shortcut for that url.
I am a windows maniac, but I am just learning WM 6.1
Bump to the top

Is there a way to create folders in the Start menu in WM6.1 Pro? And, to this guy's point, is there a way to make an item in the Start menu be a URL?
I figured my problem out. I was able to click on the radio station links, and they created ASF files in the music folder. I then used Shortcut Creator to create shortcuts to the ASF files in a folder in the programs section of start up.
And to answer JonDeutsch's question: the easiest way is to access your mobile device re: activesync, go to the directory windows/startup/programs, and right click, and new folder.
Hope that helps.
P.S. I still have not figured out how to actually create a URL Short cut that I can put into any folder I want. This community is a great group of developers. This would be a great program to develop.
