Download Directory Opus 10.5.5.0

GPSoftware has released version 10.5.5.0 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, 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, both in functionality and appearance. That is also the biggest problem, because the program can certainly come across as 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 89 Australian dollars has to be purchased, which amounts to about 60 euros. Since version 10.2, there is also a less extended version, which costs just under 33 euros. The release notes for this release can be found below.
