Download Directory Opus 12.30

GPSoftware has released version 12.30 of its file manager Directory Opus. This program is in a way comparable with Total Commander, but with more extensive options about exactly what information should be displayed and in what way.

That is also the biggest problem, because the program can certainly seem complex to novice users. The program can 60 days being tested; after that, a license of 89 Australian dollars must be purchased, which amounts to about 55 euros. Since version 10.2 there is also one less extensive version, for the equivalent of 30 euros. The changelog for this release shows the following list of changes and improvements:
