This is an Opus Beta release only. If you aren't comfortable running the very latest version of Opus then you may like to wait for the next stable/public release.
Directory Opus 10.0.0.5 is available now for all Opus 10 users:
This is a preliminary, beta release. It fixes a number of issues reported since the release of Directory Opus 10:
- Folders with an ampersand in their name are now displayed correctly in the Breadcrumbs bar's dropdown menus
- Alt+Click on a folder tree in a dual Lister always opened the new tab in the left-hand file display, even if the click was on the right-hand tree
- The metadata pane now supports PDF metadata stored as XMP
- Fixed problem with keyboard range selection (shift+cursor up/down) in any of the "icon" modes immediately after entering a new folder
- A command that combines Set FLATVIEW=On followed by the Select command will now wait for the flatview read to finish before performing the selection
- Improved performance of the filter bar when filtering large directories
- Added support for the "Other" device category in the native My Computer display (things like GMail Drive will show up here)
- Fix for PATH environment variable losing 'user' path components if something made temporary (not saved between reboots) additions to the path variable.
- Fixed display error with XMP metadata that could result in multiple repetitions of a string in some metadata fields
- When deleting a folder that's permissioned to deny access (e.g. WindowsImageBackup), Opus now attempts to modify the permissions to allow the delete to proceed (same behaviour as Explorer)
- The "date only" fields now sort only by date rather than date/time when there is a subsequent sort column specified
- Improvements to attempt to reduce excessive memory usage when loading large TIFF images
- Turning off Opus ZIP did not update the archive context menu page until Prefs was exited and re-entered
- Now supports .PSB (photoshop large) images properly
- The "Prevent loading of certain types of folders" setting was not respected for a new Lister with multiple tabs
- The SELECT SOURCETODEST command now causes the destination file list to be rebuilt (meaning a subsequent command in the same function that uses {filepathdest} will pick up the newly selected files
- Drag & drop from latest Thunderbird versions was broken
- The Set Metadata dialog now works properly in libraries
- Files added to collections with the Copy command that specified the filename on the command line, would add them with invalid timestamps
- Status bar would show incorrect disk space values for DFS redirected share
- Changed the way file displays get their icons and overlays, so that on Vista/Win7 if an icon overlay handler is installed that provides overlays for junctions/softlinks it will show the correct overlay in Opus
- Find will now make the output collection name unique if another Find operation is currently open and has already output to that collection. This can be disabled with Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced / find_unique_collections option
- Added audio/mp3 as a supported MIME type for MP3 files in the metapane.
- The Copy/Delete filter state is now saved in Lister layouts
- Fixed layout issue with vertical toolbar between tree and file display in dual-horizontal layout
- Wildcard path formats now treat / and \ as equivalent, so the one pattern can match both real paths and URL-style paths like libraries
- The Wildcard Folder Format dialog now lets you enter a lib:// style path
