no old sessions after update to 12.15. clear window Sad
in PortableApps\OperaPortable\Data\profile\sessions file autosave.win with my sessions (see in text editor), but opera don't load them

There is a problem, because I have also an installed version of Opera x86. After updating from 12.14 to 12.15, the PA Opera uses the profile of the installed Opera: sessions, not about the preferences and others.

Also posted in Other Apps support before I found this page.

I have just this morning allowed update to Opera 12.15 only to find that it is now like a brand new installation.

Opera is not not installed on this PC.

This is my main browser and email client, so I have just lost all my contacts, saved settings, passwords, history and Speed Dial.

Is there any way to roll back to previous version or to recover my settings?

I wanted to post a warning to prevent anyone else experiencing this.

They have survived and are in your portable storage ... but the opera bug after update it takes the settings are not in your portable storage and the C drive

Where will I find the settings and how can I reinstate my Speed dial, saved passwords, email accounts, etc?

I do not have Opera installed on the hard drive of this PC, just PortableApps.

For example, I have a way E:\Progs\PortableApps\PortableApps\OperaPortable\Data\ so make a backup of this folder.

After the bug when upgrading from those who have not installed Opera on your computer (except portable), in they all config clean (Speed ​​dial, saved passwords, email accounts, etc). In other people a portable version takes settings from hard drive Opera.

We are waiting for response teams Portableapps

Sorry for my english

I have been using it everyday. It messed up all my day Sad
Any link to the older version (12.14) to downgrade?
Please!

The original 12.15 release was pointing to the local Opera settings directory due to a build error. Opera Portable 12.15 Rev 2 fixes this issue. Your Opera Portable profile is fully intact and will be visible again after you update. Our apologies for the issue.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

...it's been a stressful morning, but I'm so relieved you sorted it.

I had just found out how to import my bookmarks and mail, but I really puzzled over Speed Dial and saved passwords.

One more little issue. It can not been copied to other directory because the profile folder is not directory but root dependent.

It can be moved about and will adjust the profile for you as you move. The launcher adjusts the paths.
