I really like to see in the transfer window where a given file came from.
However, where does the info go after the files no longer show in the
transfer window?
How can I find out where the file xyz0$iup.zip came from that I downloaded
last october?
HOw can I extend the reach of the window back in time?
Which file holds the info, where do I look in old Opera directories?
THanks
Fritz

In the Linux version at least (since that's what I'm using right now - but
mostly Windows would be the same) there is a file named download.dat. But
if you've removed the file from the Transfers window, Opera would not keep
track of it any longer.

Yes, Windows also uses download.dat. The file is not designed to be
easily read, but the format is described at
.
The default time for which data is kept is only a few days (7 IIRC). That
can be modified (e.g. to about a year) by a section in opera6.ini like:
[TransferWindow]
LogEntryDaysToLive=365
A large download.dat file may have an effect on Opera's startup time.
Checking includes not only whether the file is still there, but also
extracts the icon to show with each file from whatever program is
associated with that type of file.

Thank you for that info. I am thinking of writing a little script that
builds & adds to a database of memory joggings, as a scheduled task. The
