Directory Opus 10.2.0.5 beta is now available for all Opus 10 users.

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

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

The following is a guide to the changes in the Directory Opus 10.2.0.5 beta:

MTP changes

• The folder tree now fully supports MTP devices.
• Context menus now work for files on MTP devices.
• Drag & drop (and copy & paste) from an MTP device in Opus to Explorer now works.
• The Properties command now works on MTP items.
• The mtp:// root folder, and mtp://device folder now provide columns to show free and used space, and a default folder format has been added to turn these on by default.
• The SetAttr command can now modify timestamps on MTP files although this is dependent on the device supporting the action.
• The status bar will now show free/used disk space for MTP devices.
• A function like Copy {file$} TO ... will now copy the file with its real name when copying from an MTP device.
• Fixed problems with incorrect filenames being used in recursive copy/moves from MTP devices.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug that could cause the Prefs.oxc config file to not be saved to disk immediately after a brand new install of the software - instead, the file would not be saved until you actually edited Preferences for the first time. This meant Explorer Replacement wouldn't work properly when Opus wasn't running.
• Shift-right clicking the Computer entry in the tree and choosing the Root Tree Here command now works correctly.
• If the folder tree is set to start at Computer (or anywhere other than the Desktop), and the Collections and Libraries folders are configured to display under the Desktop item, the tree did not correctly re-root itself to show these folders when navigating to them in the file display.
• The Preferences Backup & Restore dialog no longer locks the Lister it is launched from.
• Running a duplicates file search with the Automatically add group column option turned on in Preferences could in some cases end up with the file display's column header being out of alignment with the columns themselves.
• Fixed display in the Customize / Keys list of Ctrl-A and similar hotkeys when the input language is set to Russian (or presumably to any language that doesn't have those keys on the keyboard).
• Added exception handling around calls to third-party IFilters, which are called by the Find function to search for text in non-plain text files. This should stop the crash reported in http://resource.dopus.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18082.
• Fixed a bug where moving a .zip file (or other supported archive file) into a library would copy+delete the file instead of moving via rename.

Directory Opus 10.2.0.4 (Beta)

Directory Opus 10.2.0.4 beta is now available for all Opus 10 users.

• Directory Opus 10.2.0.4 x86 (International, 32 bit)
• Directory Opus 10.2.0.4 x64 (International, 64 bit)

• Directory Opus 10.2.0.4 Deutsch x86 (German, 32 bit)

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

The following is a guide to the changes in the Directory Opus 10.2.0.4 beta:

MTP changes

• Fixed problems that were preventing MTP support from working under Windows XP.
• Thumbnails are now forced to be synchronous (since MTP devices only support reading from one file at once), and file reading performance has been increased.
• Also added a new Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced option (mtp_use_thumbnails) to enable/disable the use of the dedicated thumbnail stream (if provided by the device).
• Fixed issues with drag & drop and copy/paste copies using the wrong filename for the copied files.
• We now show the modified date for the creation date and vice versa if the device only provides one of these.

Miscellaneous new features

• The Customize dialog now remembers which state the search field was set to on the Keys tab (either filtering by keys or by function).

Bug fixes

• Fixed problem on Windows 8 where double-clicking an unregistered filetype would open the Sync center.
• Rename was incorrectly disabled in the native My Computer display.
• Fixed crash when closing a file display via the close button in its last tab (introduced in 10.2.0.3).

Directory Opus 10.2.0.3 (Beta)

Directory Opus 10.2.0.3 beta is now available for all Opus 10 users.

• Directory Opus 10.2.0.3 x86 (International, 32 bit)
• Directory Opus 10.2.0.3 x64 (International, 64 bit)

• Directory Opus 10.2.0.3 Deutsch x86 (German, 32 bit)
• Directory Opus 10.2.0.3 Deutsch x64 (German, 64 bit)

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

The following is a guide to the changes in the Directory Opus 10.2.0.3 beta:

Native support for MTP devices (initial experimental version)

This beta introduces experimental native support for MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) devices (e.g. mobile phones, cameras, tablets, etc.). MTP devices are accessed in Opus with the new mtp:// URL-like syntax. You can also access them through My Computer simply by double-clicking on the device icon. Please note that due to the beta nature of this release, some MTP related functions are not yet implemented or complete (such as context menus, folder tree support and secondary file commands like SetAttr). Copying files to and from devices, renaming, viewing images and thumbnails are all working, however.

Miscellaneous new features

• Added a new option to display rating stars overlaid on thumbnails (Preferences / File Display Modes / Thumbnails / Overlay rating).
• Opus now displays folder thumbnails (when not using the shell to generate them) as CD covers if the folder is marked as "music" via desktop.ini (e.g. using the Customize tab on the Properties dialog to mark it as a Music folder), irrespective of its other contents. Previously the CD cover would only be used if the folder contained more than a certain number of music files.

Bug fixes

• Fixed bug introduced in the previous beta where you could not skip or abort a delete operation that ran into a locked file.
• After changing tabs with the Go TABSELECT command the Lister is now redrawn immediately (so that a repeating hotkey to cycle through tabs lets you see the tabs as they go past).
• Fixed a cosmetic issue with the tree path highlighting option when not using Vista/Win7 style for the tree.
• With file extensions hidden, the Position cursor before extension option for inline rename did not work with filenames with a dot in the name.
• The Print FOLDER=selected command would incorrectly display the dialog once for each selected item.
• Fixed a couple of problems with archive files inside of libraries (the viewer pane did not work on files in the archives, and thumbnails inside the archives were also broken).
• The option to add menus to the desktop context menu did not work if Opus wasn't running (this bug was introduced in the 10.2.0.1 beta).
• With the Switch to existing tab if already open tree option turned on, if a locked tab had been changed and then an already open folder selected in the tree, the original tab was not correctly reset to its locked folder.
• Fixed a few problems when clicking on folder tabs:
  • Clicking the active tab in a non-active Lister no longer goes into inline rename.
  • Clicking the active destination tab in a dual-display Lister no longer goes into inline rename.
  • Clicking a tab on the destination side of an inactive dual-display Lister now correctly switches the source/destination sides (previously it would quickly switch and then switch back again)
• When double-clicking a word (or using Ctrl+Shift+Right to select the next word) in inline rename mode, the selection no longer includes the final dot (between the stem and the extension).
