Download Directory Opus 10.5.0.0

GPSoftware has released version 10.5.0.0 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, on which 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 a 32-bit and a 64-bit version. The program can be tested for 60 days; after that, a license of 69 Australian dollars has to be purchased, which equates to approximately 53 euros. Since version 10.2, there is also a less extended version, which costs just under 23 euros. As usual, the test period has been reset, so those who have tried the program before can now try again for 60 days. The release notes for this release can be found below.

Evaluation period reset:

• If you have been test-driving Directory Opus 10.2 or earlier and your 60-day evaluation has run out, you can request a new 60-day evaluation for Directory Opus 10.5 to see what’s new.
• If you’re currently using an Opus 10.2 or earlier evaluation certificate then you’ll need a new 10.5 evaluation certificate as the old eval cert won’t work with the new version (it will say the old cert has expired). You’ll get a full 60-day period from the new cert.
• If you’ve purchased Opus 10 already then you don’t need to do anything. Your existing certificate will continue to work with all 10.x versions and never expires.
