Denicio Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 The other day i tried opening a .swf file without, Opera appeared from nowhere, ran the file for me. I have never installed Opera on my Leopard 10.5.2 (Leo4All), and if I remember correctly same thing was happening in 10.4.x. Anyone care to explain?

Denicio Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 just checked in spotlight and yep, opera is listed there as well though not the latest version... weird eh? Someone told me that Adobe installs Opera (for example Photoshop). Can anyone confirm?

Daniel Felstead Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I can also confirm this as it's been on my system since I installed the Creative Suite 3, it's in the packaged content in Adobe programs, I tested it a while ago by running it and getting it to show in the finder.

ArmchairDeity Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks for this thread... now it makes sense. After a bit of checking, some right-clicking/Open With... clicking and a bit of magic with Activity Monitor's Inspect button, not only does CS4 install opera, but it's embedded inside 2 other applications (Bridge and Device Central) and not only includes 2 full copies of Opera but in fact 2 completely different versions!! 9.27 Build 3731 /Applications/Adobe Bridge CS4/Adobe Bridge CS4.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera.app 9.20 Build 3670 /Applications/Adobe Device Central CS4/Device Central.app/Contents/MacOS/Required/Opera.app What the hell? This is just plain weird. At least the mystery's solved though... thanks for the thread folks!
