Download Directory Opus 10.0.5.0

GPSoftware has released version 10.0.5.0 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 62 euros. The release notes for version 10.0.5.0 are as follows:

The 10.0.5.0 update includes everything from the 10.0.4.x beta versions:

• 10.0.4.1 (40 changes)
• 10.0.4.2 (27 changes)
• 10.0.4.3 (45 changes)
• 10.0.4.4 (6 changes)

The update also includes the following new changes:

• The timestamps of copied files were not properly preserved if the copied file had associated metadata (ratings, tags, comment, etc) that was also copied.
• The “Select previous folder when going up” option now really only applies to Go UP, and not whenever the new folder happens to be the parent of the old one.
• Fixed bug that could cause the progress dialog’s percentage complete to be miscalculated.

Finally, here is a video guide which highlights some of the changes since 10.0.4.0:
