If you are seeing a problem where clicking "Open Containing Folder" (or similar) in other programs causes two Directory Opus windows to open, don't worry; a fix is on the way.
So far, we are aware of this affecting Opus when launched by newer versions of uTorrent, Firefox 9 and Visual Studio 2010.
It seems that all three programs made similar changes to the ways they open folders in their more recent versions, with the side-effect that Opus opens two windows instead of one.
The other programs are not doing anything wrong; it was just unexpected, and it took us a while to work out what was going on. We don't know if the changes in all three (and possibly other tools we don't know about) were simply coincidence or if they were driven by something external. (I have a theory that it may related to differences between WINE and Windows, but it's just a guess.) Either way, it was good that we had three different programs to test with.
We have been testing a fix internally for a few weeks and it is looking good for inclusion in the next beta update (10.0.3.1). Keep an eye on this blog, or the Opus forum or twitter feeds, to know when the beta version is available for download, if you'd like to get early access to it.

this also may affect Locate32
I thought .3 was gonna fix this :(
Oh well guess I'll have to wait a little longer ^_^
I think we always said the fix would be in 10.0.3.1, i.e. the first beta *after* 10.0.3.0.
It was never even considered for 10.0.3.0 because, while it has worked great in our internal testing for several weeks now, it's a big enough change that it wouldn't make sense to rush it into a stable release.
Won't be long now, anyway! 10.0.3.1 should be out in about a week.
Great news Leo, thanks !
Wasn't the last .3 update supposed to have fixed this already?
No, it wasn't and we always made explicitly clear that it would not be in 10.0.3.0 and would be in 10.0.3.1.
This was already discussed in the comments above, on this very article, which I guess you missed or misread as well. :)
I thought .3 was gonna fix this!!!!111!! one one
I'll fix you in a minute! :)
Thanks! awesome fix. Opus ftw!
I sometimes feel slowness in opening v10.0.3.0 when choosing "Open containg folder" on Internet Download Manager(IDM)
just to report :)
Try in 10.0.3.1 once it's out (very soon now). If the "slowness" is what I think it is (the other program waiting a while after opening a folder) than 10.0.3.1 should fix that.
If not, please report it via either the forum or the support page with more info (like which of the two programs seems to be slow and in what way; whether it was the same in older versions, etc.)
