Unhappy Sig2Dat Quick Links & Opera

Afraid it doesn't. It resolved the issue of spaces in quick link URLs (URLs can't have spaces in them, so they are converted to %20. Opera was not sifting out/converting back these %20s to spaces. Indy fixed the space issue by making Sig2Dat do the reconversion itself).

But now that you can actually click on links in Opera, and files will appear in your download window, they will always say "More Sources Needed"... because Opera has converted all letters in Hash to lowercase, so your FastTrack client will be searching for a file with a hash that does not exist.

I have no idea if Indy can do anything about this; the clicked link has been contaminated by the browser to contain plainly incorrect information: he could program Sig2Dat to look for %20s and convert them to spaces, but how can Sig2Dat know when a letter is supposed to really be lowercase or when uppercase?

this time it really is Opera's fault, I'm afraid, and it means for the moment having to stay with Exploder for quick links, or using Opera in the 'old-fashioned way', copying & pasting a text hash sig (if someone's bothered to post the full text hash, that is).
