Directory Opus v13: New Release Features Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 гру 2024
- Yes, at long last, Directory Opus 13 is now available! I previously covered the Beta release, but there have been some new things added - so I shot the whole tour video again. :)
Directory Opus is the ultimate Swiss Army toolkit for the Windows Filesystem. It is 100x more than "just another file explorer replacement" featuring decades of development and file system know-how. It isn't free - or even cheap; but if you work regularly in your file system? This is a no brainer solution that replaces many products into an integrated all in one workflow optimizer.

"Yes!", to more Opus 13 vids.
Yes to more videos! I can't image life without Opus and I know I'm not even scratching the surface of the power it holds within. Please help us unlock it!!
New video coming soon!
Thank you for making these videos please make more and also I can’t thank you enough actually zooming in on the screen so people can actually see what’s happening. So please keep zooming in when making these
Will do!
Dopus, Everything and listary are perfect together.
That is my trifecta!
listery or listary?
@@TriSutrisnoID Listary.
thank you @@Darkuni
This is absolutely awesome. I thought, version 12 has all what I need and much more. Now I bought version 13 and there are so much new features which are great and surely useful in everyday work. Leo´s team did fabulous work. And you too with this videos!
I am humbled. Thank you!
Back just to say, it's actually really useful to us making Opus as well, just to see someone using it, especially trying new features that aren't familiar yet. Helps us spot little things we could improve to make things easier to pick up or nicer to use. So "yes please, more videos!" goes for me as well. :)
Thank you!
Just upgraded today, been using Directory Opus since the Amiga days, it is simply unbeatable!
How much is the upgrade is that a yearly thing?
I happily upgraded to Opus 13. No regrets. Best file manager in the world!
Thank you so much. After watching your video I upgraded two licenses to version 13.
Fantastic! Welcome to the party!
Always happy to see Opus videos :)
Thank you for creating these Opus videos, keep it up
So amazing. I'm using a 4k monitor and all I want/wanted is a way to increase thumbnail sizes because of Windows size restriction. Now I'm looking at doing a complete overhaul with Opus. I have 200tb's on my NAS for my Media server I'm always adding and transferring files to a dozen external backup drives and the queue function would be worth it's weight in gold.
I LOVED DOpus on the Amiga! I still have the original software and manual guessing it was about 90 or 91. I just purchased 13. I look forward to using it as I'm in the middle of going through old hard drives to make one big master backup of all my decades of projects.
Same here, I remember DOpus from 90's Amiga times, then it was some copy on floppy from someone, finally i can pay for good software :)
I do want to see more opus videos. This is great!
I'm going to see if I can get a new, even short Dopus video out every week or two. I really love the product and want more coverage and exposure.
This program is insane. I knew I should have gone into rocket science!!! :-)
LOL
Another great video! Thanks for making it!
🙏
I enjoyed the video and learned a few things even after owning Opus since version 9. They are doing a great job with this application and I like these modernization. If your up to it, I would like to learn more about customizing directories for various media types. I have a fairly large music collection, movies, audiobooks, ebooks, comicbooks, and home videos. It would be nice to be able to organize them more effectively and view the important metadata attributes for the various media files. I've been playing around with folder options, but I'm not satisfied with all the view changes. Help here would be awesome.
Yes, please for more.
new to opus, awesome video thanks
Unsure if you know this? Is there a column that references video codec by h.265, h.264 etc?
Other than VIDEO CODEC - which doesn't seem totally definitive...
I used to have different colored listers for different folders. I can't make that work anymore, There seem to be font customs, but no more color.
Some things have definitely moved around. Been a long time since I dinked with that ... let me check it out.
I do not make best use of DOPUS because I cannot devote the time needed for such an awesome tool and because it is so powerful which is kind of overwhelming so the more tutorials the better PLEASE!
Any particular topic you would like?
@@DarkuniIs DOPUS 13 similar enough to DOPUS 12 that if I follow a beginners setup guide for DOPUS 12, it will transfer to DOPUS 13? If not, do you know of a link to a guide for complete newbs? Or can you film a video? Thanks, m8.

Спасибо! Ваше видео получилось даже лучше чем у разработчиков файлового менеджера) Много нового узнал)
Очень мило с твоей стороны. Спасибо!
Well... I've been using a purchased directory opus 10 for about 14 years. It already has more features than I need. It has been invaluable for my daily workflow, but I don't see any need to upgrade.
Get out of my head, Shane! I'm still a legacy Opus user from the days of Amiga, I discovered Everything last year and now install it on every PC I use and swear by it, and I also grumble at the Opus/Fences double click conflict!
Nice to see you in here! I work on Opus, and also watch your channel. :D
Yeah, we need a fix for that ... You know ... shut it off on Fences.... maybe we can make a system wide hotkey via Dopus to hide fences ... :)
He's a good dude!
for files displayed, is there a way to add in your own labels, personal rating collumn or or custom metadata that then can be sorted? eg artwork image that i need to label for subject, colour, themes (mulitple) and personal rating
You can't add CUSTOM fields, but yes - TAGS, COMMENTS, RATING .. all th at is there. You're probably looking for TAGS. i.imgur.com/4d8bv9D.png
File collisions - on copying photos that've been converted in size with same names and type i.e.moon.jpg 22 mb, to 1 mb, how do I select for the smaller type to overwrite the larger type?
Queue copy - my preference is to view the graphical progress, over the queue tab. I'm used to queue copy from DO12. How do I make the progress window the default?
Column pivot is very good. Brilliant.
Would love to see these tools added to DO.
File Renamer Pro
Tag&Rename for Mp3 files
MKVToolNix
MKVCleaver
You would PROBABLY have to write your own copy job for that. Could be done, though. Collisions have limited parameters. I saw an option in preferences for the queue - I'd start there. I doubt there is anything in File Renamer Pro that Dopus doesn't already do. Renaming MP3s, too. Tagging? Maybe a bit out of scope for Dopus? I doubt we'll ever see anything related to MKV manipulation in here - but remember; you can shell out and do ANYTHING you want via a command line call...
I'm gonna have to dive into how to write my own script for this. Have you done a 'how to' video on this? @@Darkuni
@@ozmozis6073 oh hell, I forgot about SYNCHRONIZE ... that panel may do exactly what you want.
Thanks for this. You're referring to Preferences > Color and Fonts > Directory Opus Colors > Synchronize ?
I'm also watching your video on (File Manager) - Customization / Layout / Look 'n Feel. Very cool stuff that I had no idea of.. Any chance, if you have time, to update this to Opus 13? There's been a few changes to the layouts and the diffs are evident. Thanks always. @@Darkuni
@@ozmozis6073 There is a Utility Panel called Synchronize. It offers a lot of options for copying files from one location to another - including how to dictate a size collision.
Please help, how do you turn on the file type summary? i cant see it in the settings, also thank you so much for making this video :D
Check out the description for a link to the V13 Beta video. I show you how to add it to the status bar.
@@Darkuni Thank you i found it!
does anyone know how to integrate TeraCopy into DOpus 13? yes, there are instructions for DOpus 12. For DOpus 13 I have not found anything yet. Can anyone help?
I am not familiar with TeraCopy. I would hop on over to their discussion forums. Great, helpful people over there (and there may already be a solution).
do we have to pay for this update or is it free for previous owners
Depends on when you bought it. There IS an upgrade path for previous owners. At worst, you'll get a discount I imagine. I'm working on getting an affiliate code too.
@@Darkuni purchased little over a year ago during their black friday special and was hoping it would still include update, thanks for the reply and video!
@@wilp9255 You can check right now if you go to their website and drop your key into the upgrade box. It'll tell you what you've got coming.
@@Darkunialright awesome! Will look into, appreciate the feedback
Everything (the tool) is what makes windows a better environment than Linux. Nothing Linux have comes close.
Have you tried Listary? I would legitimately say it is better than Everything. I love and use them both, but you're 100% right. Dopus, Everything/Listary keep me locked into Windows.
Buyer beware! I picked up DO 12 in November 2022 after your video and from a BF deal. They just released version 13 and want more to upgrade than I paid for the original version. I feel scammed. I would have never paid $30 for a file manager had I known that upgrades coming would be more in cost and especially since the upgrade came in a little over a year after I picked it up.👎
I understand the frustration. Most software has a 1 year upgrade cycle. Opus has like 5-7 years between major versions with free upgrades the entire time. That's some good value. Plus your license is perpetual - so v12 will work forever. Not much software does that anymore, either. Sorry it didn't work out for you.
@@Darkuni Not a knock on you,,,you have great content. The rub is I am not getting updates (security/bug fixes) either unless I "subscribe". I've only had the program for a little over a year. No worries though.......live and learn....🙂
@@BillCClinton I'm not 100% sure that's true. I seem to recall still getting critical upgrades to the "last" major build point. Let me do a bit of digging.
@@Darkuni From the Dev.....(If the subscription / maintenance expires after one or two years, depending on what you have purchased, then you can continue to use the program forever but you will not be entitled to any updates)
@@BillCClinton Yeah, that still reads a bit ambiguous. Is that MINOR updates? MAJOR updates? I am 99.9% sure that when Win 10 came out, the previous version of Dopus had some critical issue with it - they fixed it and delivered it for free. I'm getting someone on the team to assist in clarification.
Please don't use dark mode when showcasing 😫
Why? This is what people have told me they want.
For my money, use whichever you prefer. Info is info. 😊
@@Darkuni I agree that light mode is much better for showcasing b/c of better legibility. That has nothing to do with me disliking dark mode anyway.
why do amerikans say "go ahead and" thousands of times. 3 of the silliest words used together absolutely NOT needed. I was about to watch this but after first 3 times of those words I gave up.......
They're filler words. We Americans absolutely love filler words. I also probably shot this in one take with no script. When you do that? Filler words get in there. Try to push through because I have a lot of good information in here. It's okay if you don't. I'm that way with the word like. People love to stuff like and phrases and sentences.
Your opus videos was why I subscribed to begin with, your steamdeck content was probably the reason I stayed 🤌
