GPSoftware heeft versie 13.16 van zijn bestandsmanager Directory Opus uitgebracht. Dit programma is in zekere zin vergelijkbaar met Total Commander, maar dan met uitgebreidere mogelijkheden over welke informatie precies moet worden weergegeven en op welke manier. Directory Opus is veelzijdig en extreem configureerbaar, zowel wat functionaliteit als wat uiterlijk betreft. Dat is meteen ook het grootste probleem, want het programma kan zeker op beginnende gebruikers complex overkomen. Het programma kan na registratie 60 dagen worden getest; daarna moet een licentie van 89 Australische dollar worden aangeschaft, wat neerkomt op ongeveer 55 euro. De changelog voor deze uitgave kan hieronder worden gevonden:
CompatibilityFilter Bar / Find-As-You-Type
- ARM: Fix for ARM64-emulation issues which prevented dark mode working in some dialogs, and also stopped combo box dropdowns working.
- Windows 11: Fix for double-clicks launching the wrong application after Microsoft's latest changes to filetype associations in Windows 11 24H2.
- Chrome: Opus no longer blocks Chrome.exe from loading its DLLs. A reboot may be required for this to take effect. This fixes a compatibility problem where File Save dialogs had long delays in some versions of Chrome. The original reason the block was introduced no longer applies to current versions of Chrome.
Inline Rename
- Added separate Ignore filename extensions options for the Filter Bar, FAYT Find, and FAYT Filter modes.
Columns
- In inline rename mode, when a filename is copied from another item using
Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down, the other item is now briefly highlighted in all display modes (previously it was only highlighted in Power/Details modes).- Inline rename control keys can now be individually hidden from the tooltip that appears when holding the control key down. (Preferences / File Operations / Renaming Files / Control Keys)
- Fixed inline rename control key tooltip overlapping the edit field when close to the bottom of the screen.
Customize
- Added the Link Count column. Displays the number of hard links to a file. 1 means there is only one link (the file itself), 2+ means multiple files linked to the same data.
- Column font styles (bold, italics, underline) are now combined with label font styles, rather than replacing them. Strikethrough text is now also rendered correctly if applied by a label in combination with font styles from a specific column or the sort column.
- Fixed
linkcountvariable not working reliably in Evaluator columns.Viewers
- Duplicating a user command in the Customize dialog now bases the default name for the duplicate on the name of the duplicated command.
- Improved how the command editor finds a lister to test-run against when the command isn't from a lister toolbar; for example, when testing a User Command. If available, it will use the lister which opened the Customize dialog; failing that, it will fall back on the last active lister.
- Command menus in Preferences now update when user/script commands are modified in another window.
Tooltips
- Fixed text/hex viewer plugin not respecting the hex font setting.
- In the image viewer,
Show VIEWERCMDtoolbar buttons that use{}insert codes (e.g. to modify the command with the evaluator) now work properly.Miscellaneous
- The status bar filetype tooltip is now a fixed size rather than scaling with the size of the Lister.
- Improved folder format explanation text when a Content Type format was manually selected.
- Fixed elements that render multi-line markup text (e.g. tooltips) drawing two lines on top of each other if the first line ended exactly on a closing tag.
Commands
- If an update was downloaded but not installed, and the automatic Update Checker is turned off, Opus will now delete the update the next time it restarts, rather than keep prompting you to install it.
- Fixed Metadata Editor's Tags field not switching into "Multiple Values" mode if two files were selected where the 2nd file's tags were a superset of the first's.
- Workaround for delays during drag & drop in some situations.
- Preferences options for what to display under Desktop now apply when navigating to Desktop via Quick Access.
- Added Russian language back to the installer.
- Fixed CLI ignoring backspace and left cursor keys if the selection started on the first character of the line.
- Fixed password prompt appearing prematurely when opening a saved window with a tab for an encrypted archive, when Opus is configured not to auto-load archives from saved windows (Preferences / Folders / Automatic Reading).
- Fixed favorites with
&in their names having the&doubled if rearranged via the Favorites Bar.- (New in 13.16) Fixed memory leak when reading directory with malformed NTFS ADS metadata.
- (New in 13.16) Fixed crash IDs 506-509.
Scripting - General
- The command
Select FILTER=listcan now be used to generate a dynamic list of filters. Selecting a filter from the list invokes the Select command to select files matching the filter.- The
FileType SUMMARYcommand can now display file type statistics for the contents of selected folders instead of just the currently displayed folder. The newcontentsandrecursekeywords control this behaviour.- Added
Select FILTERFLAGS=showhiddenflag, allows any currently hidden items to be redisplayed before the new filter is applied.- Added
Select FILTERFLAGS=deselectnomatchflag, allows any currently selected items to be deselected if they don't match the new filter.- Added
Toolbar CLICKTOEDITcommand, which makes the next click on a toolbar button open that button for editing. Similar to theAlt+ Click option in Preferences / Toolbars / Options, except it turns itself off automatically after the first use and allows you to useAlt+ Click for other things (e.g. buttons that open folders normally open them in new tabs ifAltis down). You can optionally specify a timeout in milliseconds; e.g.Toolbar CLICKTOEDIT=5000gives you 5 seconds to edit something before reverting to normal.Toolbar NAME=*thisnow works with floating toolbars, and no longer requires explicitly addingSTATE=float(orFLOAT) to the command.- Fixed issue with a function that runs two
Copy AScommands to make two copies of the same file.- Fixed issue with the copy queue overlay icon being left behind after a function that runs
Copy {filepath$} AS...Scripting - Dynamically Generated Buttons
- Added script method
Filter.List(). Returns aVectorcontaining the names of all defined filters.- Added
Msg.subitemproperty which provides the subitem (column) number for script dialogs listview on right-click/double-click.- The
Filter.Loadscript method now returns true or false to indicate whether or not the filter was successfully loaded.- Further improvement to unscoped user variables being accessible to both functions and script functions.
- In script dialogs, the
DialogListItem.iconproperty can now load icons for non-filesystem paths (e.g. from a collection or library path).- Improvement for script
DialogListItem.iconloading icons for local paths.Script commands can now be used to add dynamically-generated buttons to toolbars and menus. Buttons that invoke script commands can also now enable context sensitive state (checked and/or enabled state can be modified by the script).
An example script which adds a dynamic menu-button:
To add dynamic buttons the
dynamic_argsproperty of theScriptCommandobject needs to be initialised with a string containing the (comma-separated) argument names that can be used to generate dynamic buttons.For example, a function called
OnAddButtonsFoomight have an argumentBARthat's used to generate a number of buttons (e.g.Foo BAR). You would therefore setdynamic_argsto the valueBAR. To allow context sensitive state thecontext_argsproperty performs a similar function. In both cases, you can set the property to*to indicate that all (or no) arguments are required. A script then needs to implement theOnAddButtonsmethod (for dynamic buttons) and theOnButtonContextmethod (for context sensitivity).
OnAddButtonsis called to add dynamic buttons. Any buttons it creates will be displayed in place of the original button, and the original button will be hidden (except in Customize mode). The method should returntrueif it has added buttons, or if it doesn't add any buttons but still wants to hide the original button. TheOnAddButtonsmethod receives anAddButtonsDataobject as its argument. The properties of this argument are:
cmdline- provides the command line being used to generate the buttonsmethod- provides the command method nameembedded- provides the embedded function body if given by the userbuttons- returns anAddButtonHelperobject that is used to add buttonsargs- returns anArgsobject representing the function's parsed argumentslister- lister whose toolbar the commands are being added to (0 if not applicable)viewer- viewer whose toolbar the commands are being added to (0 if not applicable)The
AddButtonHelperobject has the following methods:
AddButton- adds a buttonAddThreeButton- adds a three-buttonAddMenu- adds a menuAddMenuButton- adds a menu buttonThose methods all return a
ButtonDataobject which is used to initialise the button via a number of properties. Most properties are optional and only need to be provided if you want something other than the defaults. The properties common to all types are:
label- the button's labeldesc- the button's description (tooltip)image- the button's primary imageimage2- the button's secondary imagetextcol- the button's text colorbackcol- the button's background colorshowlabel- controls the button label visibility. Valid values are true/false, "left", "right", "top", "bottom".showimage- controls the button image visibility. Valid values are true/false, "dual", "large", "largedual"nohighlight- don't highlight the button on mouseoverseparator- display a separator after the buttonnotablabel- don't interpret tabs in the labelFor normal buttons and menu buttons, the following properties are available:
type- function type; valid values are "batch", "script", "wsl". Leave empty for a standard Opus function.func- the function to run. Multiple lines can be provided, with cr/lf separators. Any@modifiersneed to go at the top of the function.checked- set to true to have the button appear checkedradio- set to true to use a radio button rather than a checkmarkdisabled- set to true to disable the buttonFor menus, menu buttons and three buttons, two properties are available to configure child buttons.
children- this returns anotherAddButtonHelperobject, which lets you add child buttons to the menu. Note that for three buttons, the first button is designated left, the second is right and the third is middle.childimages- controls the visibility of images in the menu. Valid values are "off", "on", "large".For menus, the following properties are available:
popout- control where the menu pops open. Valid values are "left", "right", "top", "bottom"
arrow - display a dropdown arrow on the menu. Valid values are true/false, "normal", "slim"minimize- set to true to minimize the menu widthFor three buttons, the following properties are available:
dynamicfromchild- enables dynamic icons/labels for the button parent based on the child buttonsFor menu buttons, the following properties are available:
OnButtonContext
alwaysenable- set to true to always enable the dropdown even if the button itself is disabledholdright- set to true to enable hold/right button to pop open
OnButtonContextis called to allow a script to selectively check and/or disable buttons that invoke its functions. The method should return true to update the button's appearance.
OnButtonContextreceives aButtonContextDataobject as its argument. The properties of this argument are:
cmdline- provides the command line being used to generate the buttonsmethod- provides the command method namectx- returns aButtonContextobject that is used to change the button's stateargs- returns anArgsobject representing the function's parsed argumentslister- lister whose toolbar the commands are being added to (0 if not applicable)viewer- viewer whose toolbar the commands are being added to (0 if not applicable)The
ButtonContextobject has the following properties:Updating dynamic buttons
checked- set to true to have the button appear checkedradio- set to true to use a radio button rather than a checkmarkdisabled- set to true to disable the buttonThe new
Script.UpdateButtonsmethod can be used to force any dynamically-added script buttons to be refreshed. It takes a single bool parameter. Set to false to only refresh context sensitive state; set to true to also refresh dynamic buttons.
