Introduction

The new Directory Opus 8 is the result of over 3500 hrs and almost two years of hard work since November 2002. It provides you, the user, with an impressive array of new features and functionality giving Opus an advanced performance simply head and shoulders above anything else on the market and cementing Opus’ position as the clear leader in the field of Windows Explorer Replacements and File Managers.

The accompanying notes are designed as an introduction to the changes in Opus 8. For full details of the functions you may also need to consult the full Opus 8 manual installed in the program folder.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This version has many changes, new features and functionality. Version 8 will read and adjust the settings and Preferences from earlier versions but not vice-versa. Since there are quite a number of configuration and registry changes to incorporate new ideas, it is your responsibility to backup your existing 6.2 Version before installing this one. Directory Opus 8 and Directory Opus 6 use the same resources and you can not have both installed on the one machine. You can have only one version of Directory Opus installed.
