Not U3 Compliant

Op.com does not terminate properly.

hi stormal, what do you mean

hi stormal,

what do you mean by "op.com does not
terminate properly"?

Can you elaborate?

thx

Sure...

A truly U3 compliant application will terminate and cleanup when the U3 launchpad's "Eject" button is ticked, thus avoiding U3 Launchpad error messages upon U3 Launchpad termination/disconnection events. I find that this Opera 9 for U3 lacks such behavior.

U3Action.exe is merely managing the launch and termination of Opera_usb.exe.
Therefore, either Opera_usb.exe must manage the termination of Op.com or perhaps even U3Action.exe's -hostCleanUp command may be utilized. I have not attempted just such a chore with U3Action.exe as yet as I was only enlightened as to U3Action.exe's availability upon reviewing the Opera 9 for U3 manifest which in turn prompted me to check out the U3 website.

I am finally inspecting U3Action's documentation

Take a look at the U3Action User Guide PDF.

U3Action's "-GhostParent" or "-Adopt" options should be useful to manage Op.com's shutdown.
