Does not seem to work for me on the latest; oh well! Gmail keeps on changing their APIs and so forth. Anyone updated their versions? I’m trying to switch from firefox and need my macros!

Huge thank you for this! I’ve been leaning towards switching to Opera for some time and this really tipped the scale and made it an easy choice. Thanks again!

Hmmm. Ser ikke ut som om de godkjente kommentaren min der jeg tipset om portingen din…

Takker for et kjekt script. Har begynt å bruke GMail ganske mye, så alt som kan gjøre det enklere er greit å ha.

Tipset også Google Tutor om at du har “oversatt” scriptet til Opera, http://www.googletutor.com/2007/06/19/empowering-your-gmail-with-firefox-and-greasemonkey/

Man, you made my day!!! (Or should I say night

Really, it was difficult to believe it, after so many months of trying to find a solution! Very cool to finally have this tool working!

You were probably right about encoding. I took the zipped version and didn’t even have to go further – worked like a charm! I have to add that I’ve changed the encoding in my Opera to “Automatic Selection”, as some time ago I had to select a specific one, and forgot that I didn’t revert back.

Many thanks, Alf, I greatly appreciate your efforts!!!

Thanks for feedback! I suspect it has something to do with character encoding and transfer over HTTP. On server it is stored encoded as UTF-8, with leading byte order mark. You can try to download a zipped version of the script, or the ASCII version.

Dear Alf,

Thank you much for your efforts of porting GMacros to Opera, and also for notifying me on lifehacker.com. I tried it today, immediately as I saw your note, but unfortunately I don’t see it working. I tried it with both http and https, also restarting Opera, but…

Activating the Error Console gave me the following notification:
User JS compilation
Syntax error C:\Program Files\Opera\userjavascript\GmailMacrosOpera.user.js: line 1 of User JS script :
sro 02>tTrai”

Seems nonsense, because there are no such characters in the file.

Would you have an idea what could be a problem? Or better yet, could you hint what to do to fix this? If you have time, of course.

Thanks a lot!
