- HEIC/HEIF images are now supported, as long as the relevant WIC codecs are
installed. (If you have the Windows Photos app working with HEIC files,
they'll work in Opus as well.) Both the CopyTrans HEIC decoder (works with
Windows 7 and up) and the Microsoft decoder (works with Windows 10) are
supported.
- 3D objects (3mf, fbx, glb, glbt, obj, ply, stl) can now be displayed in
the preview pane on Windows 10 (Creators Update and above). (3mf seems limited
to files created by Microsoft's own tools and won't load most 3mf files from
the web.) See here for an example and additional details: https://resource.dopus.com/t/3d-object-preview-3mf-fbx-glb-glbt-obj-ply-stl/29541
- Added Individual groups option to the Folder
Options / Columns dialog. If this is turned on and the file
display is grouped, one group will be created for each distinct value rather
than a range of values falling into a single group (e.g. instead of A-H you
would have A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H). This is only really useful for text fields
like "User description". Also added the Set
GROUPINDIVIDUAL command to toggle the setting on and off
programmatically.
- Improved support for virtual desktops in Windows 10.
- A new virtual_desktop_isolation setting, on by default,
makes changes like these:
- The "Save All Listers" command only saves windows from the current
desktop.
- Layouts set to close existing Listers when they open will only close
Listers on the active virtual desktop.
- Explorer Replacement (and things like the Go EXISTINGLISTER command),
if set to reuse existing windows or open new tabs in them, will tend to
open a new window if it can't find an existing one on the current desktop.
(There are some exceptions, where Windows itself decides which Lister to
activate for a folder.)
- "Reuse existing viewer window" only considers viewer windows on the
current desktop.
- "Close All Viewers" from the viewer's system menu only closes viewers
on the current desktop.
- Set LISTERCMD=showall, minimizeall,
and toggleminimizeall only act on the current desktop's
windows.
- Close ALLVIEWERS, ALLLISTERS and
ALLOTHERLISTERS commands now work with a new
CURRENTDESKTOP argument to restrict them to acting on the
current desktop's windows.
- Set LISTERCMD=tileh, tilev, and
cascade always only act on the current desktop's windows,
regardless of Preferences.
- Fixed being able to dock a Lister into one that is on another virtual
desktop and not currently visible.
- For Windows 10 only: Preferences / Launching Opus / From the Win +
E hotkey now exists for you to change what happens when the
Win-E hotkey is pushed. (While configured independently, this
is tied to the Explorer Replacement mechanism. It thus requires Opus Pro and
will only work with portable versions if they have been configured to enable
Explorer Replacement.) WHEN UPDATING OPUS, THIS NEW FUNCTIONALITY WILL NOT
WORK CORRECTLY UNTIL YOU HAVE REBOOTED.
- Local F1 help (as opposed to the help on the GPSoftware website) is
now shown in your web browser by default. A new option, Preferences /
Miscellaneous / Advanced [Behavior]: help_interface, lets you set it
back to CHM (HTML Help) if you prefer this interface. You can
also use that setting to specify a custom port for the local http help server
if needed. When help is shown in your web browser, script add-ins and
plugins are now able to add their own help pages.
- For users who wish to use dark themes:
- Under Preferences / Display / Colors and Fonts / File group
header, you can now configure the color of the expand/collapse
glyph.
- Under Preferences / Display / Colors and Fonts / Folder
Tree, and Folder Tree (Destination), you can now
configure the color of the expand/collapse glyph.
- If the status bar is set to use a dark background color, it no longer
draws its frames using visual styles.
- Relative size and date graphs now let you configure their frame and
background colors.
- Colors used in free space graphs in This PC (My Computer) can now be
configured.
- The free space graph in the status bar now uses the colors you define in
Preferences rather than system colors, when applicable.
- Fixed the Filter Bar's checkbox labels not being readable if you used a
dark panel background.
- The marker when dragging toolbar buttons around is now easier to
see.
- Fixed some glyphs within toolbars and menus which were difficult to see
when using light-on-dark colors.
- The system menu visual style is no longer used for menus which do not
use dark text colors.
- The frames around pop-up menus now use configurable colors, and menus
will be drawn using your toolbar colors by default, if they have been
customized. (Does not affect all menus in the program, at least not yet, but
will affect most toolbar and context menus.)
- Default menu background color can now be configured separately.
- Toolbars and menus now have configurable "toggled" and "selected" colors
for buttons and menu items (e.g. when pushed in or as the mouse moves over
them).
- The codes available to display information on the status bar have been
expanded:
- You can now use variables on the status bar. e.g.
{var:tab:MyVariable} will display the contents of the file
display variable MyVariable. You can also hide and show sections
depending on whether or not a variable exists, and then control which
information is shown on the status bar from buttons and scripts. e.g.
{h!{var:glob:ShowExtraInfo}} ... {h!}
- Status bar data can now be conditional on the current path or tests for
whether paths exist. For example, {ifpath:"C:\*"} will
return 1 if you are in a path below C:\
and nothing otherwise. {ifexists:".\*.dll"} will return
1 if there are any DLLs below the current folder. These can
be used with the {h!} code to show or hide things. Further
examples and details can be found in the manual.
- Status bar data can now be conditional on the same @if
and @ifset tests you can use in buttons and scripts. For
example, if you want the status bar to show the selected file's size and
date, but only when not in Details mode: {h!{if:!Set VIEW=Details}}
{sel:size} {sel:write} {h!}
- Added new Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced
setting, status_metadata_trigger, which lets you choose
when/if things such as duration codes on the status bar should cause file
metadata to be calculated.
- The @toggle:update command directive can now be used
after modifying variables to force status bars to update.
- Added Publisher column.
- The Select HIDESEL, HIDEUNSEL and
SHOWHIDDEN arguments can now be made to operate only on files
or only on directories (or both, by default).
- The services supported by the Image LOCATE command are
now configurable via Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced:
image_locate_services. Also added Open Street Map as a
default service (Image LOCATE=osm).
- The CreateFolder command now has a MULTI
argument to force multi-line mode on and off, and now lets you pass
multiple default folder names to the multi-line dialog.
- The Rename command's FROM argument now
understands aliases mixed with wildcards, e.g. Rename FROM
/downloads\*.zip to rename all zip files in the system downloads
folder.
- The Rename command now lets you specify the
Rename dialog's default sequential numbering parameters without
having to turn sequential numbering on. This is done by adding
! to the NUMBER parameter. For example, if
you want the Rename dialog to open with numbering off but padding set
to two digits when/if you turn it on: Rename ADVANCED
NUMBER=!01
- Select FILTER now works in conjunction with the
TYPE argument to limit the filter to either files or
directories.
- Added Select NEXT=row and Select
PREV=row arguments, to allow commands that move the selection up or
down a row in icon modes.
- The Rename command now has a WHENEXISTS
argument, letting you specify the action to take when the new
filename already exists.
- The Simple Find function (and the Find NAME
parameter when automating a find from the command line) now supports
regex: at the start of the pattern to specify a regular
expression.
- Added some new Find command arguments to control things
the Simple Find dialog has check-boxes for, when automating the
command: NOWILD, ANYWORD,
CONTWILD, CONTCASE,
NOPARTIAL.
- The Go command (and other commands that support things
like /aliases) now supports file:// URIs (so e.g. you can now
do Go file:///C:).
- Commands for setting show/hide attribute filters now support the
I (non-indexed) and P (pinned) attributes.
Also, previously undocumented: You can specify two sets of attributes to
alternate between the two each time the command is run. e.g. Set
HideFilterAttr=HS,R would toggle between hiding files with the
Hidden or System attributes and hiding files
with the Read-Only attribute. When only one set is specified,
the command acts as a toggle.
- File display variables can now be prefixed with left:,
right: and tab: to designate the left, right
and active file displays, in addition to the older src: and
dst: prefixes. (tab: and
src: will usually point to the same thing, but can be
different, e.g. when dealing with status bar codes for a particular side of
the Lister.)
- You can now configure the font used in code editors such as the advanced
button editor, rename scripts, and status bar Preferences.
- Added Preferences / File Operations / Copy Attributes / Copy
sparse files as sparse option. This option preserves regions in
copied files that are marked as sparse (as long as sparse files are supported
on the destination drive). (Note this option was originally included in 12.8.1
but was removed in 12.9)
- Added Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced:
grid_lines_first_last. For solid grid lines, you can now make the
alternating pattern start on the first line instead of the second. For thin
grid lines, you can now have a line before the very first file or after the
very last file. (Caveats in the manual.)
- Opus now recognises command codes like {allfile|sep=|}
where you want a pipe character as the separator between files.
- @if:set focus now allows more flexible testing of which
window currently has input focus (e.g. @if:set
focus=filedisplay to test if any file display has focus).
- The action for normal left-click on items in the tree is now configurable
through Preferences / Folder Tree / Selection Events. The
default action is Go; to get the same result as the old
Switch to existing tab if already open option, change it to
Go TABFINDEXISTING. You can also change it to e.g. Go
NEWTAB=findexisting to make left-clicks on the tree open new tabs by
default.
- The new setting clipboard_change_delay, under
Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced [Troubleshooting],
allows you to tell Opus to delay before checking the clipboard for changes.
This may help avoid problems using the clipboard in certain software (e.g.
Microsoft Office, although a *lot* of other software triggers the same problem
in Office, including parts of Windows itself, so YMMV). The default delay is
100ms; it was effectively 0 in the past.
- You can now override the default icons used by new File Collections via
Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced [Cosmetic]:
collection_icon_default, collection_icon_find,
collection_icon_flickr, and
collection_icon_marked. Also fixed custom collection icons
not being used in certain places, and some cosmetic issues with the File
Collection properties dialog.
- Thumbnail Threads (Preferences / File Display Modes /
Thumbnails) maximum limit increased from 8 to 32. (When Opus launches
it also limits the value to the number of CPU threads.)
- Added Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced [Behavior]:
slow_dblclk_rename option, which allows you to disable inline rename
via slow double-click (F2 not affected). (Does not apply to Power mode, which
has its own mouse button settings.)
- The colors for relative size and date graphs can now be configured
separately for files and folders.
- The background and glyph colors of the breadcrumbs path field, search
field, filter field and filter bar controls can now be configured under
Preferences / Display / Colors and Fonts / Toolbar and menu
defaults.
- If you hide the media duration parts of the status bar using a variable,
the duration will no longer be calculated (unless something else still
triggers it). If you then toggle the variable to make the duration parts show
again, the duration will be calculated immediately (if it hasn't been
already).
- Status bar {var:...} codes can now negate the variable
using {var:!...}.
- The distance the mouse has to move before a drag & drop begins is now
DPI scaled. (The base value still comes from the registry, via the
GetSystemMetrics API, and can be changed under HKCU\Control
Panel\Desktop\DragWidth and DragHeight. Note that most other software does not
DPI-scale it, but we believe this is incorrect as the default has remained at
4 pixels since long before Windows supported high DPI.) Similarly, the
bounding box the mouse must stay in between clicks to register a double-click
is scaled as well.
- Scripting changes:
- Added Tab.hidden, hidden_files and
hidden_dirs properties, which provide information about
files and folders hidden from the current view in a tab.
- Added Format.group_individual property to query the
state of the new Individual groups option.
- The Blob.CopyFrom method now lets you initialise a
Blob from a string. By default the Blob
will be set to the Unicode form of the string; if you pass "utf8" as the
second parameter it will initialise the Blob with the
utf8-encoded form of the string.
- The FSUtil.Hash method can now hash the contents of a
Blob as well as a disk file.
- Fixed item.name_stem_m and item.ext_m
ignoring multi-part extensions when obtained via
tab.selected_files.
- Script columns now respect the Folder OptionsNumeric
order filename sorting setting instead of always applying it. You
can also now specify numericsort,
nonumericsort, wordsort and/or
nowordsort for a script column's type to enable or disable
the numeric and word sorting modes, overriding the setting in Folder
Options.
- Scripts can now use the Progress dialog's Skip
button via the new Progress.EnableSkip method.
- The Progress.GetAbortState method can now handle
pausing automatically, can be told to only check for certain states, and
will now only indicate the most important state by default.
- The new StringTools.IsASCII method can be used to test
if a string uses only 7-bit ASCII characters, or if it would be better
written in a Unicode format when saving it to a file.
- The FolderEnum.Next method can now return more than one
directory entry at once, in a Vector. Specify the number of
items you want returned at once, or -1 to return the whole
directory in a single call. You can pass a Vector object to
use as the second argument if desired, or one will be created for you. If no
arguments are specified then only a single Item object is
returned as before.
- Added OnTabClick script event, which lets scripts
intercept mouse clicks (with a qualifier key) on tabs and override the
default behaviour.
- The StringTools.Encode method understands a new format
string utf-8 bom to encode into UTF-8 with a
byte-order-mark on the front.
- The Progress.SetFromTo methods now clears the "To:"
line entirely if the argument for it is omitted. (It's still best to use
Progress.SetStatus if you only want one line all of the
time.)
- The new Item.InGroup method lets you test if a file
belongs to a particular file type group without having to loop through all
the groups it belongs to.
- The StringTools.Encode method no longer adds a null at
the end of the binary data.
- Fixed Blob.Compare method incorrectly returning
0 when two different sized blobs were compared, without the
comparison size being specified, if one was a prefix of the other.
- In script dialogs, the readonly property of edit
controls can now be modified by the script rather than being fixed at design
time.
- The QuickFilter object has a new
showeverything propertiy which indicates if Show
Everything mode is on for the folder tab. When Show
Everything mode is on, it also now implicitly makes the
QuickFilter object report disabled=true,
showallfiles=true, and similar.
- A new script event, OnGetHelpContent, lets script
add-ins add their own help content to the F1 help (only
when help is shown in the user's web browser). The new
Script.LoadImageFile and Script.LoadHelpImage
methods let you easily load your script's help
content when bundled as a script package.
- Added Script.HttpHelpEnabled and
Script.ShowHelp to let scripts trigger their own help
pages. There are also matching functions for viewer/VFS
plugins.
- Added workaround for FTP connections to Pure-FTPd server when using TLS,
where the directory listing would not complete or require a timeout before
completing.
- It is now possible to remove items from collections which were imported
without any paths (just names) from a file list using
dopusrt.exe.
- When importing file lists to collections via dopusrt.exe,
lines which are not fully qualified paths are now assumed to be relative to
the same folder the list file is in. You can override this using
/relative:<path> or suppress it using
/relative:none. If using /relative:none, you
cannot also use /nocheck.
- Fixed cosmetic issue where, if a column was less than 4 pixels wide,
background colors applied by file labels would have a tiny gap where the
narrow column was.
- Previously, if the Automatically select next file after
deleting option was on and you removed the drive you were on, with
the folder tree open, Opus would navigate you to the next drive. It will now
always take you to the This PC (My Computer) level instead.
- The Pin to Start Menu context menu item now works in
Opus.
- The Go TABGROUPFORCE argument can now be used with
Go TABGROUPLIST.
- Fixed the filter bar's file extensions drop-down not indicating which
extension has keyboard focus on systems with visual styles disabled.
- Fixed crash which could occur after changing the "when image is shared"
mode for an image under Preferences / Display /
Images.
- Preferences / Display / Images now accepts new images via
drag & drop. Drop on the list to add a new image, or select an image and
drop on the thumbnail to change it to a new image.
- Fixed Opus Light incorrectly allowing you disable hotkeys which come from
the default toolbars, since changes to the default toolbars are never saved to
disk in Opus Light. Standalone hotkeys can still be edited and are saved to
disk.
- Drag & Drop with the right mouse button now works correctly within the
same tab when manual sort is enabled.
- Auto-extract now works with 7z, RAR, Tar and other plugin archive
types.
- Fix for double-clicking programs inside non-zip archives causing further
double-clicks in the file display to be buffered until the launched program
exited.
- When merging two folders via a move, any sub-folders in the source that
had labels assigned to them would lose their labels when they were moved
across.
- When manual sort mode is on, and "Sort newly created and copied files" is
turned off, copying a file by dragging and dropping to a specific place now
maintains the insertion position.
- When the viewer is set to use an automatic background color, it now
ignores any transparent pixels when selecting a color to use.
- The Secure Delete function now moves files to a temporary
folder (with random name) before deleting them, to try to stop their original
location being visible in recovery tools.
- A button that runs Set BLURFILENAMES=Toggle now correctly
highlights when filenames are blurred.
- When renaming a folder in the folder tree you can now use the down/up
cursor keys to accept the edit and move to the next/previous sibling
folder.
- Added .mkv and .flac extensions to the
Windows Media Player preview handler (if no other preview handler is assigned
to them), since the Windows 10 version can handle both formats but doesn't
designate itself as handling them in the registry. Note that the handler is
still disabled by default, so this only affects it if you turn it on via the
ActiveX + Preview + Office + Web plugin. (Also note that Microsoft have fixed
the preview handler so it works again in Windows 10 build 1803, after it was
broken for about a year.)
- Added .flac extension to the Generic ActiveX list, since
the Windows 10 WMP ActiveX control can play FLAC files in the
viewer.
- The {smp3} and {tmp3} status bar codes
now work with WAV files.
- Fix for drag & drop from Adobe Bridge not working.
- Archives plugin (7z, RAR, etc.) and internal zip code now has better
handling for (somewhat dubious) archives that use the same paths for multiple
files. Each item will now have a unique name generated for it. In the case of
RAR archives, such archives will also be made read-only.
- Fixed problem with zip files which contained sub-folders with spaces at
the end of their names.
- Detection of WSL only worked in 12.9 if you were still on the Windows 10
Creators Update. It now works with the newer 1803 build again.
- Changing Preferences / Folders / Folder Behaviour / Sort shortcuts
to folders like folders now triggers a refresh of all open folders,
so the setting's effect is seen immediately.
- Secure screenshot wasn't blurring some paths in the breadcrumbs
field.
- Secure screenshot now blurs filenames in Explorer-provided folders (e.g.
Quick Access).
- Fixed problem with navigation lock where navigating out of a zip file on
one side would not cause the other side to follow along.
- Dragging a tab from file display to another now makes the new tab
active.
- When an external icon set is cached (for performance) it now preserves the
display names of icons within the set.
- Fixed problem with Duplicate Finder's Select button - if
the duplicate search was initially run with Delete mode
turned off, and then you put the folder into Checkbox Mode
manually and clicked the Select button, weird things
would happen.
- Fixed the file display font-size pop-up going off the side of the monitor
if it opened too near the edge.
- Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced is now grouped
into categories. The list is also now filtered when using the search function
in Preferences, rather than drawing matching items in red.
- The Combine groups with only one member into the 'Other'
group option is now ignored when grouping by duplicates.
- Improved support for creating a toolbar button to go to a web page by
dragging from a web browser to the toolbar in Customize mode. (Tested with
Chrome and IE. Should work with Firefox. Does not work with Microsoft Edge,
since you can't drag from Edge to *anything*, even to create a .URL file in
File Explorer).
- Added support for dropping .URL files (including Steam game shortcuts) on
a toolbar in Customize mode to create buttons.
- When Opus receives a "media removed" notification from the OS it now reads
the Computer folder automatically in any tabs that were showing folders on the
removed media.
- When test-running commands in the button editor, the command will now
always run against the Lister that launched the editor. (Previously, the
command would look for a source window and potentially run against a different
Lister, or even fail to find a source if you had two or more dual-display
windows and no single-display ones).
- Copying files out of a zip file in flat view now gives more consistent
results (both in "recreate" and "flatten" mode).
- It's now possible to prevent Opus from saving FTP passwords, by setting
the PreventSaveFTPCredentials value under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\GPSoftware\Directory Opus to
DWORD:1.
- Pasting a file from a virtual data source (e.g. Remote Desktop) now
behaves the same as pasting a real file when the destination already exists -
you'll be prompted to overwrite/rename etc, rather than the new file just
being renamed automatically.
- Workaround for issue with SumatraPDF Open With menu item.
- Fixed Open With menu showing just an icon and no name for
Notepad.
- Fixed SetAttr META coverart only allowing numeric
specification of the type of cover-art when adding, not removing.
- Fixed metadata editor's Add cover-art button not working
correctly when in the Desktop folder.
- Fixed labels applied via folder formats not doing anything if the global
labels-in-NTFS option was off and the global list of assigned labels was
completely empty.
- Added missing music cover-art image types "other file icon" and "colorful
fish" to the Metadata editor, SetAttr command and
AudioCoverArt script object. (The fish thing is, unfortunately, part of the
ID3 specification. It is hidden in the UI except when editing a file which
already uses it, because it is ridiculous and some tagging software won't
recognise it.)
- Prefs LAYOUTLIST SHOWICONS now assigns folder icons to
branches of the layout list, instead of only assigning icons to the layouts
themselves.
- Fixed the default "Lister Styles" menu heading being mistranslated to
"Rotate" (in the target language) if you changed language after
installation.
- Fixed crash if you started a Find Files operation from a folder with a
localised name. (You would normally have had to type the localised name into
the Find In field manually to make this happen).
- Fixed issue where clicking "skip" to the error shown when attempting to
copy a file > 4GB in size to a FAT32 drive would abort the rest of the
function rather than just skipping the file.
- The Print FOLDER command no longer flashes a progress
dialog on screen if delayed progress dialogs are turned on in Preferences and
it is outputting to a file or the clipboard without showing the Print Folder
dialog.
- Fixed a Favorite which pointed to an Alias called /user
not doing anything when clicked.
- Fixed Properties dialogs showing zero size when opened for multiple items
in different folders (e.g. via Flat View or collections like Find
Results).
- Fixed right-click > Properties on an FTP Site in the folder tree
opening the FTP Address Book but not selecting the site.
- Fixed right-click > Create Shortcut on the File Collections root in the
folder tree crashing when used.
- Possible fix for folder tabs sometimes getting stuck "Reading Folder" with
TortoiseSVN installed. (The problem stopped happening for us by itself so it
is difficult to verify the fix does what it is supposed to. Please let us know
if you still encounter the problem with this or later versions.)
- Made change to solve problem of Opus not allowing files > 4GB to be
copied to Google Team Drive (which misrepresents itself as a FAT32
filesystem).
- Fixed problem that meant when an FTP folder was added to favorites and
selected from the Favorites branch in the tree the folder would open in a new
Lister (or even an external program, depending on your settings).
- The Browse dialog shown for the Preferences /
Miscellaneous / Advanced [Image Formats]: use_color_management
setting now has a filter set to *.icc;*.icm to make it clear
what type of file is required.
- Fixed alignment of Opus-generated folder thumbnail when shown in a
tooltip.
- Config files, script add-in code, and Containing Text searches in
the Find Panel now support characters outside the BMP range
(UTF-16 surrogate pairs and 4-byte UTF-8 sequences). Previously, such
characters -- e.g. in button labels -- were dropped when saving and turned
into '?' when loading.
- Fixed crash in the button editor which could happen after using
Shift+Tab to de-indent lines (usually while editing
scripts).
- Addressed Explorer Replacement not working in some cases where
applications initialized COM in a non-standard way for calling shell APIs
(e.g. Google Chrome).
- When Opus is installed it now registers a URL scheme,
opushelp://, which allows for clickable links to local
help in your browser. dopusrt.exe has a
new /help argument that this scheme uses to trigger
display of local http help. The HTTP help server will be enabled and started
automatically if it was turned off in Preferences.
- The API for non-Unicode viewer and VFS DLLs has been disabled. We believe
there are only two 64-bit plugins affected by this, both of which have
alternatives and appear not to have been downloaded recently. If this is
wrong, or there are non-Unicode plugins we are unaware of (e.g. privately
developed for corporate environments), please let us know. If needed, we can
reinstate the legacy API, but our current plans are to remove the code behind
it if there are no complaints.
- On the FTP Logs panel, clearing the [All Activity] log
now does the same as the Clear All Logs option, removing
site-specific logs at the same time.
- Opening virtual folders via Explorer Replacement now opens them in your
normal default Lister, instead of forcing the dual file display, tree, viewer
and other panels to be off.
- Commands like Go LASTACTIVELISTER are now better at
finding the Lister which was most recently active. Previously, they were a bit
too literal: If the last active Lister had since been closed, without another
becoming active, then they did not find anything.
- If a file copy fails mid-way with ERROR_NOT_READY (which can
happen if a USB drive is pulled out) Opus will restart the copy when you click
Retry rather than just attempting the last write
again.
- Opus now tries to stop its DLLs being injected into chrome.exe to avoid
Chrome incorrectly labeling (libeling!) us as an incompatible application.
Unfortunately this will stop the "Open Downloads Folder" command in Chrome
from opening in Opus when Explorer Replacement is enabled.
- The Rename dialog's Clipboard menu/button is now
always enabled, even if the macro builder is turned on. Using one of the paste
options will turn off the macro builder automatically.
- Label filters in the folder tree are now re-calculated when you push
F5 (or run similar refresh commands which affect the
tree).
- Tweaked syntax highlighting for the script and button editors.
- Status bar configuration can now include comments by starting lines with
//.
- Folder tooltips using {foldercontents}, and the status
bar hidden-count tooltip, now show each file/folder on a separate line, and
allow names to be longer before truncation, and more names to be displayed in
total.
- Infotip {foldercontents} has new parameters:
SingleLine makes it show files and folders on a single line
(each) instead of one line per item. MaxItems limits the
number of items within each category (up to a hard maximum of 20).
MaxItemLength limits the length of each item (up to a hard
maximum of 260). Indent lets you change the indentation
before each item in multi-line mode (defaults to four spaces), or the
separator between each item in single-line mode (defaults to ", "). To get
single-line infotips like they were prior to Opus 12.9.3, use:
{foldercontents:singleline:maxitems=4,maxitemlength=20}
- If the Add File Collections list to the Send To menu
option was turned on, then later turned off, the collections in the
Send To menu at the time would be left there (except on
Windows XP). They are now cleaned up.
- With newer versions of WinRAR installed, the Archives plugin always
created RAR 4 archives even if configured to make RAR 5 ones. This now works
again.
- Fixed Preferences / Launching Opus / Default Lister / In a fixed
position relative to the monitor the mouse is on behaving like
Always over the mouse pointer.
- Fixed incorrect behavior of the viewer pane's context menu items for
spanned wallpaper and resetting the viewer plugin override.
- Fixed dialog editor crash if you pushed the Del key on an
item with multi-line contents to reset the contents to empty.
- Fixed problem with FTP SSH not returning directory listings if the list
output omitted file permissions.
- The Replace Explorer for all file system folders option
now includes the Quick Access folder on Windows 10. Also improved this option
so it excludes more control panels (e.g. the "classic" desktop wallpaper
control panel opened by running
"shell:::{ED834ED6-4B5A-4bfe-8F11-A626DCB6A921}
-Microsoft.Personalization\pageWallpaper"). If updating Opus, this change will
only take effect after you reboot.
- Fixed crash if the filter bar was in use and set to clear when changing
folders, and you then changed folders while inline-renaming a file.
- Double-clicking shortcuts to FTP sites added under This PC will now add
the FTP site under the folder tree's FTP branch, not under the This PC branch
(which had some issues with "... on SiteAddress" being added to the end of
folder names).
- Fixed a quirk of the Filter Bar which meant that, with filtering disabled,
you could activate the disabled edit control via the keyboard and type one
character into it.
- Fixed crash if the Filter Bar was open at the time you toggled the
Preferences setting to make it use regular expressions.
- Fixed status bar code parsing so using {{ to get a single
literal { works even when it is before something that looks
like a valid status bar code.
- Fixed crash if you pushed Alt to put the Lister toolbars
into keyboard mode, then used the Left cursor key to move
past the leftmost menu item.
- Rename FROM now works correctly in conjunction with the
PRESET argument.
- The context menu item for TreeSizeFree is now shown in
Opus.
- Fixed problem where the New Folder button would be
incorrectly disabled in the Copy TO=ask$ dialog if the last
destination was a network drive.
- Fixed problem with Explorer Replacement mode when Opus was not
running.
- Hopefully fixed a problem (caused by Windows Defender) which on some
systems could cause long start-up times if the recycle bin had a lot of items
in it.
- Fixed Rename dialog's Clipboard > Paste function, when
the Ignore extensions option was on, appending the existing
filenames to the clipboard data when files did not have extensions.
- Fixed incredibly slow FLAC metadata reading in the file display, caused by
an abomination inside of recent Windows 10 updates.
- Fixed /OneDrive folder format inheriting from the
/Desktop folder format instead of simply using its own
special format.
- Fixed Set TABPOSITION commands not updating their visual
state after the change.
- The Clipboard COPYNAMES=quote command was broken in
the 12.9.4 beta and now works again. The quote parameter was
also missing from the button editor's menus.
- Fixed commands like CreateFolder ASK NAME=Moo\Cow where
the path was multi-level and the ASK keyword was also given,
not working correctly.
- Fixed Show VIEWERCMD=selaspect,... button state not
updating immediately after use.
- Fixed Advanced option use_color_management -
Browse function doing nothing in the 12.9.4 beta.
- Fixed problem with the Rename dialog macro builder where
two close but not totally adjacent range deletions could be incorrectly merged
into one.
- Fixed a problem with the Rename dialog macro builder that
would cause it to go wrong if you added some characters and then immediately
range deleted some of them plus characters either to the left or right of
them.
- Fixed some weirdness/inconsistencies with the Slideshow
toolbar button when folders are selected in the file list.
- Fixed problem that could cause offline archive files in OneDrive to be
downloaded unnecessarily in thumbnails mode.
