Opera calculates a default path beneath its user's Profile folder
and under the default "cache4" location and uses it. This is not
connected to the actual CACHE4 location if set by user. This is
not even a reflection of the INI setting of "nothing" such as
"Temporary Download Directory="
This brings me back to "opera:config does not accurately reflect
the INI contents in all cases."
If an INI entry is not present or set invalidly, opera:config must
display a visual indicator for "using a default or calculated
value" such that it is clear that this is not read from the INI.
