Changes:- Scripting changes:
- Added new OnAddCommands and OnAddColumns script methods. These provide an alternative way for a script to add commands and columns. These methods have two advantages over the old OnInit way of adding command and columns. Firstly, the script's configuration is available in these methods whereas OnInit is unable to access it. Secondly, a script can modify its own commands and columns dynamically by calling the new Script.InitCommands and Script.InitColumns methods.
Note that if either of these methods is provided the equivalent method will no longer be available in the OnInit function, and also if a script is disabled via the Preferences page then commands and columns added by these methods will not be available.
- Added new OnScriptConfigChange method which is called whenever the user modifies a script's configuration. A script could respond to this event by calling, for example, Script.InitColumns to update its columns based on the user's settings.
- Added Dialog.defid property that allows the default button in a dialog to be changed from the first one.
- The OnDoubleClick event can abort further processing when multiple files are double-clicked, by setting the DoubleClickData.cont property to False. Also added the DoubleClickData.call property, which lets a script stop the OnDoubleClick method from being called for subsequent files but allows normal processing to continue.
- The DoubleClickData object now has a multiple property to indicate that multiple files were double-clicked.
- Scripts launched via a drag and drop event are now able to determine the source tab of the drop if it came from within Opus.
- Opus will now recognise scripts with a .txt extension (e.g. .js.txt, .vbs.txt). Also, dropping a (for example) .js.txt file on the scripts Preferences page now strips off the .txt suffix when copying it to the scripts folder. These changes are designed to make it easier to install scripts downloaded from the resource centre.
- When a script error occurs and no log is currently open to display it, an error icon will now appear in the status bar that the user can click to open the log pane.
- The Script configuration editor dialog, and the multiple-line text editor that can open from that, are now both resizeable.
- When Prefs LAYOUT=xyz is run from a script, command.results.newlisters is now populated with any new Listers which were opened. Similarly, Prefs LAYOUT=xyz LAYOUTTHISLISTER=paths will populate command.results.newtabs with any new tabs.
- It's now possible for an OnBeforeFolderChange script event to run its own Go command (the NOSCRIPT argument must be used).
- If the script config editor was open and the script in question was edited, the names in the script editor could become corrupted.
- The Command.SetQualifiers method was ignored.
- Fixed crash with Python enumeration of Opus script collections.
- Fixed desktop context menu sorting Lister layouts to the end of the list if their names contained non-ascii characters.
- Lister Styles no longer start with the Toolbar checkbox set when new. Updating a Style now leaves the checkbox as it is.
- Opening an empty tab (Go NEWTAB) did not update the Lister's title bar.
- If a Lister style is already using an automatically generated folder tab group, and you update the style, the existing tab group is now overwritten. Previously, a new and unique tab group would be generated, alongside the old one, but this was more clutter than useful.
- Fixed using Update on a Lister Style where it would only save the tabs on one side of the Lister if there was only a single tab on the other side, and the style had not previously specified a folder on the side with just one tab.
- Fixed double-clicking a Style in Preferences and changing its name resulting in two copies of the Style.
- Commands like Set SORTBY=+modified SORTREVERSE=ToggleSmart which mix a generic field name ("modified", which matches any column showing modified dates and/or times) with SORTREVERSE=ToggleSmart, now respect the ToggleSmart request if the column is already present as the sort column.
- Fixed opening symbolic links to zip files.

Changes:- Scripting changes:
- FSUtil.OpenFile can now take a Blob object to create a file handle allowing file-like read/write access to an existing chunk of memory.
- The FileSize object can now handle signed as well as unsigned values (signed versions are created using FSUtil.NewFileSize("s")).
- Added FileSize.Mult and FileSize.Div methods.
- Added Item.groups property which returns a Vector of all file type groups a file is a member of.
- The Folder Options system now allows attribute filters to be specified for folders and files separately. The Filters tab in the Folder Options dialog has two new sets of attribute buttons allowing these to be configured, and the new Set SHOWFILTERFOLDERATTR and Set HIDEFILTERFOLDERATTR commands allow the filters to be controlled programmatically.
- The NEWTAB argument can now be used with Go DRIVEBUTTONS=multifunctabs to control how the tabs are to be opened (e.g. Go DRIVEBUTTONS=multifunctabs NEWTAB=findexisting).
- More changes to MTP support to improve performance and prevent "freezing".
- Toolbar menus containing labels (as in Insert New > Label) no longer deactivate the Lister window border while open.
- Styles edited via Preferences can now specify logs be displayed in the utility panel.
- Improved placement of breadcrumbs pop-up menus when the menu is too tall to fit above or below the button.
- Fixed breadcrumbs path field sometimes truncating paths in the middle when the window was too narrow, since it could be misleading.
- Fixed some cases where breadcrumbs menus did not use ghosted icons or the "system" label color for folders with the H and/or S attributes. (On XP/Vista, some cases still remain, due to old OS limitations.)
- On Windows 7 and above, the breadcrumbs menus now apply the Show System Folders filter in locations where it was ignored in the past. (Desktop and profile folders, and some network folders.)
- Fixed font picker which was broken in the previous beta.
- Fix for location field borders not repainting properly if the window was resized while focus was on the field.
- Fix for change notifications being processed out of order in special situations. (Fixes possibility of blank results collection, until the window was refreshed, after search that returned results almost instantly.)
- Fixed renaming a folder via the tree to put a dot on the end of a name, showing the dot in the tree (until refreshed) even though it was really trimmed.
- Fixed drag & drop on files within libraries which need to invoke external drop handlers.
