Directory Opus 11.3.1 (Beta)

Directory Opus 11.3.1 (beta) is now available for all Opus 11 users.

This is a preliminary, beta release. Translations may not be fully up-to-date and some English text may appear in non-English versions.

Scripting Changes:

• Added the AtLeast method to the Version object, making it easy to test the current version of Opus against a minimum version. Also added the min_version property to the ScriptInitData object - if the version of Opus is less than the specified minimum the script will be automatically disabled.
• Added the Hash method to the FSUtil object, which provides a way for scripts to calculate MD5 and SHA checksums.
• Added the pathpart and ext properties to the Path object.
• All the appropriate methods in the FSUtil now support folder aliases and environment variables.
• The BeforeFolderChangeData and AfterFolderChangeData objects now have an action property that indicates how the folder read was triggered.
• Added the label property to the Tab object, to allow scripts to retrieve a tab's label.
• Added the dualsize property to the Lister object, to allow scripts to obtain the current split percentage of a dual file display.
• The FSUtil.GetType method now returns "dir" for Zip files by default, to be compatible with the 7zip plugin. The GetType method now takes an optional flags argument - specify "a" for archive mode, which makes it return "file" for archives instead of "dir".
• Fixed problem that prevented global objects like DOpus being visible to Python scripts.
• The Wild.Parse method now checks that parsing was successful and returns False if not.
• Fixed problem that prevented Vector objects containing other objects from working correctly (possibly this was only an issue from VBScript).

Other Changes:

• The Set DUALSIZE command can now take a delta value using + or - to adjust the width relative to the current size (e.g. Set DUALSIZE +10).
• Improved the behavior of checkbox mode in conjunction with the unified thumbnail and name column (the checkbox is now shown to the left of the thumbnail instead of the name).
• Reduced the file display busy indicator and marquee progress indicator frame rates when running via Remote Desktop. The high frame rate used to cause lag when the Find tool was in use on a remote desktop connection.
• Fixed some animations taking much longer than intended on remote desktop. e.g. Expanding/collapsing groups in the file display or categories in the Preferences dialog.

Directory Opus 11.3

Directory Opus 11.3 is now available as a free update for all Directory Opus 11 users.

Changes:

• Aliases like /hostdocuments are now defined for normal HDD installs, pointing to the same locations as the normal /mydocuments etc. aliases. This allows you to use those aliases in buttons and scripts without worrying about whether or not you are on a USB install.
• When using the Rename dialog and choosing to overwrite an existing file, the recycle bin confirmation dialog could open and then go behind the Lister. This has been fixed.
• The path for configuration backups is now remembered relative to the nearest built-in alias, if possible. For example, if you save your config backup to the desktop folder, it will remember /desktopdir rather than the full path, meaning it will choose the appropriate desktop folder if you then load the same config on another machine where the username, and thus the desktop path, is not the same.
• FTP has been updated to the latest version of the OpenSSL libraries, to fix the "heartbleed" security hole.

Directory Opus 10.5.7.0

Directory Opus 10.5.7.0 is now available as a free update for all Directory Opus 10 users.

The 11.2 update includes everything from the 11.1 beta versions:

(The help file contains a summary of all these changes in one place and will be displayed the first time you run the new version.)

• 11.1 Beta 1 (18 changes)
• 11.1 Beta 2 (4 changes)
• 11.1 Beta 3 (21 changes)

Directory Opus 10.5.6.0

Directory Opus 10.5.6.0 is now available as a free update for all Directory Opus 10 users.

• Directory Opus 10 downloads

This is a minor update to fix a layout bug in the update checker and to reduce how often it will notify you about Opus 11. (Most useful if the update checker was set to run weekly. You can turn the update checker off entirely if you don't want them at all.)

Users of Directory Opus 11 should ignore this update.

Directory Opus 11.1.3 (Beta)

Directory Opus 11.1.3 (beta) is now available for all Opus 11 users.

This is a preliminary, beta release. Translations may not be fully up-to-date and some English text may appear in non-English versions.

32-bit version:    Universal    Deutsch
64-bit version:    Universal    Deutsch

• Fixed problems using context menu on files below volume mount points, and improved the Description column's target display for the mount points themselves.
• The selection box in the button editor icon picker now flashes quicker, to make it easier to see which icon is selected in the grid.
• Fixed button editor icon picker reverting to the originally selected icon if you changed the selection and then toggled the icon size.
• Workaround for bug in the Metro shell in Windows 8.1, where it would crash and restart if you have the Opus archives context menu enabled and right-clicked a file in the Metro search charm (Win-S) results.
• The Opus archives context menu would not appear outside of Opus if all three of the extract, convert-to-sfx and keep-folder items/options were turned off.
• Added CR and LF to the archives plugin's list of illegal filename characters, so you can now extract files from .tar archives created on Linux where the filenames inexplicably contain end-of-line characters. They will be replaced by underscores.
• Fixed problem where Go CURRENT or clicking the last node in the path field when one or more new columns had been turned on in a folder that had a saved path format would result in the added columns being moved to the end.
• Fix for thumbnail column + checkbox mode rendering glitches (if checkbox mode is active the thumbnail and name column are no longer treated as one).
• The "ext" and "extdir" column keywords are no longer considered synonymous by Set GROUPBY and Set SORTBY, since sorting/grouping by the two columns is not actually the same.
• Fixed problem that would cause Thumbnail column to stop working if it was saved in the default/custom format AND was part of the format saved in a layout.
• Fixed Focal Length (35mm) column turning into unrelated Company column if saved into a folder format, layout, style, etc. and then reloaded.
• Taskbar progress is now displayed on Windows 7 and 8 when using the jobs bar with progress dialogs excluded from the taskbar. (Previously, it was only displayed when progress dialogs were included on the taskbar.)
• The tab groups preview in Preferences now uses the full width available when the Preferences dialog is resized.
• Fixed CLI / script editor resize grip painting issues, and reduced flicker when resizing the dialog.
• Fixed volume down key on some keyboards causing the lister to act as if tab has been pushed. (And possibly similar issues with other special keys.)
• Fixed images in the standalone viewer, except the first one viewed, always being subject to EXIF rotation even if it was turned off in preferences, when the standalone viewer was launched via double-click from a lister.
• Fixed "Keep status bars at the bottom of the lister" being enabled each time the Status Bar preferences page was shown if another unrelated setting happened to be switched on.
• Fixed the bottom of the lister being left on-screen after resizing to close the jobs bar, on machines where desktop composition was disabled.
• UnRar code now refuses to open RAR 5 archives created with the "save identical files as references" option, since unrar.dll provides no proper way to extract such files. We will review this when/if unrar.dll is updated to support the new option.
• Running the Set DUAL command from a script now returns the new tab handle in the Results object.
• The various OnXXX scripting event data objects now all have a "qualifiers" property which indicates the state of the qualifier keys.

• The CLI in Script Mode now properly updates its syntax highlighting when loading a saved script of a different language to the current setting.
• The script editor now updates its syntax highlighting on Paste/Undo/Redo.
