Tutorial video: Creating complex directory structures

Here is a new tutorial video about creating complex directory structures.

Even if you don't need to do the actual task shown in the video, the techniques it demonstrates can be applied to a variety of different situations.

I hope you find it useful!



As always, the video is available in HD (720p) and includes optional subtitles and (if you view it on the YouTube page) a transcript.

Directory Opus 10.1.0.0

Directory Opus 10.1.0.0 is now available as a free update for all Directory Opus 10 users.

Evaluation period reset:

  • If you have been test-driving Directory Opus 10.0 and your 60-day evaluation has run out, you can request a new 60-day evaluation for Directory Opus 10.1 to see what's new.
  • If you're currently using an Opus 10.0 evaluation certificate then you'll need a new 10.1 evaluation certificate as the old eval cert won't work with the new version (it will say the old cert has expired). You'll get a full 60-day period from the new cert.
  • If you've purchased Opus 10.0 then you don't need to do anything. Your existing certificate will continue to work with all 10.x versions and never expires.
Downloads:
  • You can download the update via the GPSoftware website, or use Check For Program Updates in the program's Help menu.
  • If you use the German (Deutsch) version of Opus, go to Haage & Partner's downloads page for the program update, Help file and additional resources translated into German. (For all other languages, use GPSoftware's site.)
The 10.1.0.0 update includes everything from the 10.0.5.x beta versions:
The update also includes the following new change:
  • It was not possible to adjust times by a negative number of minutes (less than one hour) using the SetAttr META command.
