Doesn't anyone hate the new speed dial?

[Daniel Pfeiffer]

Some of the pages I have stored locally continue to display a thumbnail. But
all external ones, and local instances of the makepp documentation display a
little piece of the full size page.

It seems to try to find the logo more or less successfully (though for the
makepp pages it picks the sourceforge logo rather than makepp's own). But
even so the thumbnail looks terrible. Is there an option to get the zoomed
down look of Opera 10 back?

Right click on the image, and select a reload value other then never.
Right click, and select reload.

If desired, right click again, and select reload/never.

I thought "what in hell is he on about — it has nothing to do with my
question!" I don't know why I tried it, but to my surprise it worked.
Totally unintuitive, but thank you very much for making my speed dial nice again!

It doesn't work here I'm afraid. :(

Two thumbnails which are links to fastmail & operamail will reload every
time I open or collapse the side panels.

When I looked at this code several weeks ago, there were some strange
rules about reloading speed dials when they changed size. But only if
the speed dial was within a certain zoom range. Maybe this is the
reason? (No, I don't remember which zoom range)

Of course, then I would expect all speed dials to reload, but maybe the
other speed dials reload quickly enough that you don't notice.

Oh I see! Perhaps all of them reload, 1/2 of them are very fast indeed
(less that 1 second) but the two I mention take closer to 2 seconds and only
start reloading almost a whole second *after* the browser window size has
been changed.

Is there a way to control the 'zoom range'? My Opera window has 4 columns x
3 rows of thumbs.

Ah, yes. There is a short delay before the reload to avoid reloading
while passing through intervening zoom levels.

It is possible to lock the zoom level by setting it to "manual" (in the
speed dial configuration dialog). I don't think there are other ways to
limit the zoom range.

I was quite content to ignore the speed dial and use the drop down bookmarks. Apparently I can't do that anymore.

Speed dial is the slowest thing ever implemented in a browser.

I will periodically check to see if someone has a work-around to get back bookmarks and disable the speed dial. Otherwise my long history of being an Opera user and supporter is at an end.

Why not? I still have a main menu which says "File, Edit, View,
Bookmarks, Tools, Help". Or do you mean some other mechanism?
