Directory Opus 9.1.1.0
Posted on Thursday, August 28 2008 @ 14:30 CEST by Thomas De MaesschalckDirectory Opus goes beyond the simple file manager metaphor, and offers you a complete replacement for Windows Explorer and many other utility programs for handling FTP, ZIP, viewing files and images, running slideshows and more. It provides you with all this within a user-friendly and fully-configurable environment within which you can access and manage your important data with a minimum of effort. Harness the power of your computer like never before!
Bugs fixed / minor changes:
User Interface:
- The Find panel's multiple folder selection system is
now easier to understand. The Remove Folder button now
only removes the selected item from the list and does
not clear the path field as well. The Remove All Folders
drop-down command now clears the entire path list and
resets the path field to the lister's source path.
- The Select Icon dialog's drop-down MRU list is now
limited to 10 items instead of growing indefinitely.
- The path field at the bottom of the Select
Destination dialog now updates when an item is selected
from the Recent or Favorites drop-downs.
- It was possible to select text in the Output Window
(Script or FTP) and delete it by pressing the delete key
- this has been fixed.
- The Output Window can now be closed by pressing
Escape.
- Fix for files larger than 2 gigabytes sorting
incorrectly in the Find Window.
Listers & Display Modes:
- Fix for incorrect alpha-blending of some
toolbar/menu icons (e.g. Favorites).
- Fix for crash which could occur when double-clicking
an already selected folder in Thumbnails and Icon modes.
- Fix for incorrect item spacing with some fonts in
List and Icon modes.
- The Rename
INLINE=ext (and other parameters) command now
works in Thumbnails, List and Icon modes.
- Listers showing collections which are deleted will
now notice and go to the collection root.
- Fixed a problem where CD drive icons in some places
would not update correctly when the disc was changed.
Also improved handling of folder icon changes in folder
tabs, breadcrumbs bars and folder trees.
- Fix for problem with url/lnk targets not being
displayed in the Description column on folder read.
- Copying file paths to the clipboard is much faster,
especially with large numbers of files.
- If you select multiple files and push Enter the
files are now launched in series instead of in parallel.
(In particular, this works around a bug in Microsoft
Word where it would open several empty windows if it was
not already running and you launched multiple .doc files
in this way.)
Flat View:
- If the "Automatically sort new files" option was
disabled, in FlatView (Grouped) mode items would appear
at the bottom of the list making them appear to be in
the wrong location. They are now correctly positioned at
the end of the appropriate branch.
- Fixed a problem with FlatView listers viewing a
junction folder not correctly noticing file changes
within that junction.
- Fixed a problem when attempting to drag folders to
their own parents in FlatView.
Folder Tree:
- The Folder Tree now correctly detects changes to the
Public (All Users) Desktop folder.
- Newly created zip files are now sorted correctly in
the Folder Tree (if Zip files are displayed in the
tree).
- Fix for zip and folder icons at the Desktop level
sometimes disappearing when their corresponding items
were modified.
- Fix for painting artifacts in the Folder Tree when
horizontally scrolling a full-row selection tree.
- Fix for painting artifacts in the Folder Tree if
folder tree has both colour and image set.
- Fix for painting artifacts in Folder Tree if
background image is set and new items are added to an
open branch of the tree.
Context Menus:
- Fix for TortoiseSVN 1.5 icons not appearing on the
context menu under Windows XP.
- Fix for only some files being added to the zip if
the Add-to-Zip context menu item was used from
Explorer's Search Results and the files were not all in
the same folder.
- Compatibility fix for certain context menu items
(convertXtoDVD and HHD Hex Editor Neo) which pass 0
index to GetData instead of -1 as per the API
documentation. Explorer allows/ignores 0 so Opus does as
well now.
- The "working directory" is now supplied to context
menu extensions, where possible. (i.e. When it's a real
directory and all selected items have the same parent.)
- Fix for some context menu handlers when files are
right-clicked in Flat-View or Collections.
- Slight speed-up for context menu generation.
- Fixed generic context menus being used instead of
Opus's custom ones when folders or zips that were direct
children of Desktop were right-clicked in the folder
tree.
- The Desktop folder now has a context menu when
right-clicking on a folder tab.
- Fixed potential crash with some context menu
extensions when certain
Filetype CONTEXTMENU commands were placed on
toolbars. (Some context menu extensions don't cope with
being initialised without a file list. Opus now avoids
this.)
- The ContextMenu
command can now work on folders as well as files.
- Fix for CryptoForge context menu not working
correctly.
Status bars:
- Status bars with customized background images or
colors are now drawn using the current Windows theme
(visual style) instead of the old Win95-style borders
and grip.
- When the resize grip overlaps part of the status bar
(due to a thin window and/or wide status bar) the status
bar elements now fade out towards the grip instead of
being cut off abruptly.
- On Vista, glass status bars (when enabled) have a
themed resize grip instead of the old Win95-style grip.
- Fix for incorrect alpha-blending of icons on Vista
glass status bars (when enabled).
- Glass status bar are now turned off for maximized
windows. This is for aesthetic reasons and to avoid the
difficulty of choosing custom text colors that are
visible on both light and dark backgrounds (since glass
goes very dark when maximized).
- Glass status bars are now slightly "frosted" for
better readability and to make the glow around text more
subtle.
- Text on glass status bars is now more similar to
titlebar text in terms of default color & glow.
- Bar graph frames on glass with f=2 are now solid
white instead of black. New arguments f=4 and f=5 force
solid black and white frames, respectively, regardless
of glass.
- New bar graph frame argument f=6 produces an
indented border, the opposite of f=1.
Vista:
- Fix for left-hand, "themed" toolbars on Vista not
adjusting their background when the status bar was
toggled.
- Fixed Vista rendering problem with truncated toolbar
chevrons.
- Under Vista, the "View Help" in the Help menu when
on the desktop did not work.
- Under Vista, RMB drag no longer incorrectly shows
the no-drag cursor.
- Under Vista, the Go
/Desktop User XXX command now works correctly.
x64:
- Fix for Explorer Replacement mode in x64 version -
previously Opus was not trapping calls to Explorer made
from 32 bit applications (e.g. Firefox).
- The Windows Messenger 'Send File' function (Copy
WINMSGR) did not work correctly under x64.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when reading Amiga
icons on an x64-based system.
Preferences:
- The Explorer Replacement exclusion list is now
correctly checked even when Opus isn't already running.
- Fix for Image Preferences where changing the "When
Shared" setting to "Tiled" did not take effect until
Opus was restarted (except for the "Standard" images
where it worked immediately).
- Fix for the Display - Images page in Preferences
affecting some Color settings when reset to defaults.
- Fix for the Folder Tabs background color always
coming from Preferences, whether or not "use system
color" was set, if an image was used for the Folder Tabs
background. (The background color could have been wrong
for images that didn't fill the Folder Tab strip or for
images that were alpha blended with the background
color.)
- Fix for Office2003-style toolbar "custom" color
gradient boxes being the wrong way around in
Preferences.
- Fix for Office2003-style toolbar non-"custom" colors
overriding the "custom" color choices if the
non-"custom" colors had ever been changed from the
defaults.
Toolbars, Customization & Commands:
- Fix for buttons imported from .DCF files always
having their icons turned off if they used named
internal icons.
- It is now possible to display in a button label
by escaping the slash - i.e. t.
- Having the Copy
WINMSGR=list command on a toolbar or menu now
works even if the contact list has not been opened.
- Dropping a drive from My Computer on to a toolbar in
Customize mode now correctly creates a
Go button.
- Fixed a problem with commands that tried to set a
variable using @set
with the value
{sourcepath$}.
- The Set
FULLROWSELECT command now allows you to toggle
between 'select' and 'display' mode by specifying both
options (e.g. Set
FULLROWSELECT=Toggle,Select,Display).
- Fixed a problem where a function with multiple
CreateFolder
commands with the
READAUTO flag set could cause a dummy file entry
to be displayed in the list.
- Fix for label position being ignored with several
types of generated buttons when used outside of context
menus (i.e. on toolbars/menus):
- Open-With menu
- Sent-To menu
- Shell-New menu
- Context Menu (i.e.
Filetype
CONTEXTMENU on a toolbar)
- Namespace Menus
- Copy-to-Collection menu
- Windows Messenger contacts menu
- History, Back and Forward lists
- TabGroup list
- FTP site list
- Open-With menu
- Copy COLLLIST
now takes its icon from the button or menu item rather
than forcing a particular icon to be used.
Media Files & Viewers:
- Fix for Play window not auto-closing after playing
MP3 files.
- Play window now displays basic information for MP3
files.
- Movie & GIF thumbnail borders now match the aspect
of the video/image, instead of being padded to the full
thumbnail size, when film sprockets are enabled. (This
was already the case when sprockets were disabled.)
- Fix for resource leak when generating movie
thumbnails.
- Fix for problem getting EXIF data from Fuji photos
with corrupt GPS tag.
- Fix for incorrect bitrate & datarate reports for
some AVI and WMV files.
- Fix for incorrect track number (+1) shown for WMA
tracks from Napster.
- Fix for garbled output when converting 16-bit images
to GIF.
- Fix for bug that caused Amiga icons (and possibly
other low color-depth images) to be jumbled when reduced
in size (e.g. when displaying very small thumbnails).
- The MultiView plugin now re-opens almost instantly
if it has been used recently.
- The MultiView plugin now ignores XML files as it did
an awful job of displaying them.
FTP:
- Small change to enforce directory listings as ASCII with TYPE A for rogue Compaq servers.
