Download Directory Opus 9.1.0.3

GPSoftware has updated its file manager Directory Opus to version 9.1.0.3. This program was once developed by the Australian Jonathan Potter for the Commodore Amiga, where it was extremely popular in the early nineties. In 1994 he started working with Greg Perry and the program has been published by GPSoftware ever since. Directory Opus is versatile and extremely configurable. And therein lies the problem, because the program can certainly seem a bit complex to novice users. Directory Opus works on Windows 2000, XP and Vista and is available for the first time in a 32-bit and 64-bit version from this version. The program can be tested for no less than sixty days, after which a license of the equivalent of 51 euros will have to be purchased. More information about Directory Opus 9 can be found in this semi-official guide are being found. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

New features:

• Added support for MP3 ‘BPM’ (beats per minute) field.
• Added a new advanced option to disable the normal behavior of the ‘find-as-you-type’ field when the same letter is pressed repeatedly. Normally this will scroll through all files beginning with that letter but with the fayt_firstchar_repeat option turned off, normal string matching will be performed.

Bug fixed:

• Navigation Lock was broken in the previous release, now fixed.
• The Auto select first file in folder option no longer steals focus from the Tree
• Fixed crash that could occur in Clipboard PASTE when pasting text (only happened in conjunction with WindowBlinds compatibility mode)
• Fixed problem with WindowBlinds compatibility mode preventing Go LASTACTIVELISTER from working
• Pasting text into the rename dialog now only strips spaces from the beginning or end of the past text if it would result in the new filename beginning or ending in a space
• If the Go FOLDERCONTENT command is added to the All Folders filetype, this now works from the Folder Tree
• Fixed a problem dragging files from a collection when multiple files in different paths are selected
• Fixed a problem with Album thumbnail sizing and rendering, and a more general problem with Folder thumbnails when the state of the dynamic thumbnail sizing option was changed.
• The ability to override the system Windows hotkeys (Windows-E etc) now works in 2000/XP as well as Vista
• The “Sort shortcuts to folders like folders” option is no longer ignored when coming out of FlatView mode
• Fixed a problem with a layout that opens multiple overlapping Listers – it was possible to end up with the active Lister behind a non-active one, and a click would not properly bring it to the front.
• Drag & drop from a RAR file with encrypted filenames no longer asks repeatedly for the password
• Renaming a folder from the Folder Tree now updates the Undo List correctly
• Fixed a problem with file change notification not working reliably beyond a junction point
• Fixed a crash on Windows 2000 in the initial setup wizard
• The Go SWAP command now behaves consistently in a dual-Lister and in a multiple single-Lister scenario
• Double-clicking a .url file inside the Windows Favorites folder no longer displays a security prompt in Vista
• Fixed a crash when logging actions on files with Unicode filenames
• The Clipboard COPYNAMES command now operates on the Folder Tree when it has focus
• It is now possible to drag and drop folders to the “exclusion” list in Preferences / Launching Opus / Explorer Replacement. This can make it easier to add system folders that don’t appear in the Browse Folders dialog
• Opus should now maintain the selection state of files that are overwritten by a “safe-save” operation (eg Word)
