Download Directory Opus 10.0.2.0

GPSoftware has released the second 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 10.0.2.0 now available

Directory Opus 10.0.2.0 is now available as a free update for all Directory Opus 10 users.

You can download the update via the GPSoftware websiteor use the Check For Program Updates command in the program’s Help menu.

• Note: If you are currently using Opus 10.0.1.0 or earlier, the built-in updater may fail to install updates in certain situations, and we recommend downloading the update from the web. Provided 10.0.1.1 or above is installed, the issue will not affect future updates.

This 10.0.2.0 update includes everything from the 10.0.1.x beta versions plus the following new changes:

• The new Opus 10 help file (manual) is now complete and included. (Use the Help menu or F1 key to view the built-in copy. You can also view the online versionor download the PDF version for printing.)
• Google Desktop Search support was broken.
• With the copy queue enabled, Copy AS / Move AS now asks for new filenames (or rename pattern) when the operation is queued rather than when the job starts running.
• Automated Find commands (those that use both NAME and IN arguments to automate the Find function) no longer inherit the previous settings of the Find dialog.
• SetAttr META * no longer modifies the file timestamps if this is disabled in Preferences.
• The Folder Options Save For All Folders + Layouts & Folder Tabs command did not correctly update folder tab groups.
• Prefs PAGE=imageshack now opens the correct page.
• Fixed problem where only the first file would be extracted from a zip file when the contents of the archive were dropped on the desktop.
• Fixed problem where metadata added to PDF files generated by GhostScript would not be recognized in other programs.
