Using PageSnip with Opera
Previous  Top  Next

One of the powerful features of PageSnip is the ability to access it from the right-click context menu in Internet Explorer.

While there is no native support for Opera, it is easy to use PageSnip with Opera with one of the I.E. Extension plug-in's for Opera.

There are many such extensions and PageSnip does not endorse or provide support for any of them, but PageSnip has been tested with this one:

Neptune

You can download Neptune from this URL:

http://www.meadco.com/neptune/


After you install Neptune there are a couple of things you need to do to complete the install.


First you need to locate the Neptune DLL and copy it to the Opera plug-in folder.


On XP the DLL is installed to:

Copy the npmeadax.dll into the Opera plugin's folder at:

Next open Opera and go to this URL:

You will need to install an IE button to activate Neptune in Opera from this page
( note the yellow highlighting on this page - it was done with PageSnip! )

To install the button use your mouse to drag the button up to the Opera toolbar:

Release the mouse over the area where the pointer is and Opera will ask you to confirm adding the button:

Neptune appears as the Geeky Eyeglasses icon.


When you are surfing the web in Opera and you want to use PageSnip just click the Neptune icon.

After the page loads in the Neptune IE session you can access all of the PageSnip features from the right-click menu:

Note: PageSnip automatically detects Opera installs and makes that available as one of the launch options from the Snip Information button. This makes it easy to use Opera to return to a URL where a snip was taken.
