Easy way to download StarDock files

OK. Here's a very cool thing if you download a certain file type alot & you want it to go to the same folder every time-- like wba's to the WindowBlinds folder:

In Opera, the user can set & store the path for downloading any registered file type. The instructions are here: http://operalover.tntluoma.com/8/downloads_preferences

The Opera download preferences form is pre-filled with alot of common file types (ex, mp3, gif, doc, etc), but you have to add StarDock file types. Here's what worked for me:

I'm assuming you have read through the instructions at the Link above

At Preferences/Advanced/Downloads, there is a list of file types & file extensions
-Select New
-Below is a SS of the dialog that opens. In this SS, I already filled in the info for the new file type IconPackager

For file types associated with only one file extension (ex, wba), the following information goes in the form:

__MIME type __________ File Extensions ______
application/wba ________ wba
application/cursorxp ____ cursorxp

If more than one file extension is associated with the file type,
1. Enter a descriptor after application/
2. Enter the file extensions separated by a comma (no spaces)

____MIME type __________ File Extensions ______
application/iconpackager___ iptheme,ip
--
Fill in the rest of the form along with the path to the folder for the file type as described in the instructions at the Link.

NOTE: You must shut down & reopen Opera after setting the paths before the downloads will be transferred to the assigned folders.

I don't know if I explained things clearly enough. If you can't get it to work after reading the instructions & playing around some, let me know & I'll try to explain it better.

Give it a try!
