Download Directory Opus 10.0.1.0

GPSoftware has released the first update to version 10 of its Directory Opus file manager. This program is in a way similar to Total Commander, but much more extensive. Directory Opus once debuted on the Commodore Amiga platform, where it was particularly popular in the early 1990s. In 1994, developer Jonathan Potter teamed up with Greg Perry and GPSoftware has been releasing the program ever since.

Directory Opus is versatile and extremely configurable, which is also the biggest problem, because the program can certainly seem complex to novice users. Directory Opus runs on Windows XP and above and is available in 32bit and 64bit versions. The program can be tested for 60 days; after that, a license of 85 Australian dollars has to be purchased, which amounts to about 63 euros. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Directory Opus 10.0.1.0 now available

This update includes everything from the 10.0.0.x beta versions plus the following new changes:

• Clicking files in Go FOLDERCONTENT menus now has the same effect as double-clicking them in the file display. (Previously it was usually the same but not always.)

• Text in replace dialog when copying folders out of ZIP files now wraps correctly.
• Fix for FTP connection timeouts on some servers that don’t support OPTS MLST commands.
• Resetting the Preferences/Thumbnails page moved all the controls up each time.
• Improved ‘Windows Search not installed’ warning on XP machines that don’t have WS installed.
