Gpsoftware heeft enkele dagen geleden zijn bestandsmanager Directory Opus van een update naar versie 9.1.1.5 voorzien. Het programma is vergelijkbaar met Total Commander, maar dan veel uitgebreider. Directory Opus kent zijn oorsprong op de Commodore Amiga, waar het in het begin van de jaren negentig ongekend populair was. In 1994 is ontwikkelaar Jonathan Potter samen gaan werken met Greg Perry en wordt het programma sindsdien door Gpsoftware uitgegeven.
Directory Opus is veelzijdig en extreem configureerbaar, en daarin zit hem meteen ook het probleem, want het programma kan zeker voor beginnende gebruikers wat complex overkomen. Directory Opus werkt op Windows 2000, XP en Vista en is beschikbaar in een 32bits- en 64bits-versie. Het programma kan maar liefst zestig dagen worden getest, daarna zal een licentie van omgerekend 51 euro moeten worden aangeschaft. Meer informatie over Directory Opus 9 kan in deze semi-officiële handleiding worden gevonden. Hieronder is te vinden wat er allemaal sinds de vorige vermelding in de Meuktracker in het programma veranderd is:
