  • assigns can be removed using DELETE function on device list entries.
  • fixed sorting by name code. '0A' is greater than '09' now.
  • fixed wrong VIEWONWB tooltype format description
  • preliminary archive support (uses XADMaster which has shareware status, register if you want to use it!). Supported functions: doubleclick (excluding defined filetypes), Copy(As), xxxRead, CheckFit(for files only!). Some other could work also but weren't tested. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! If you dare to test any then don't forget to tell me the result.

  • SysInfo.library support. Now DOpus can use that library for CPU usage estimating instead of internal meter. Note that the library requires Executive or SysMon to work. If none of them is running DOpus falls back to internal meter. To enable SysInfo support put USESYSINFO tooltype in its icon.
  • to open XADmaster.library on startup use FORCEOPENXAD tooltype (default: use only if already in memory)
  • some more fixes for long filenames (any still left?)

The window cannot be made smaller than 50 x 50.
  • ConfigOpus: Added a define (NODOPUSASSIGN) to enable using PROGDIR: instead of DOpus:
  • ConfigOpus: Localized all hard coded english strings
  • ConfigOpus: Added configuration item: "Operation/Update/Update listview slider while scanning". This replaces the old tooltype QUIETGETDIR which has now been removed.
  • ConfigOpus: Added configuration item: "Operation/List format/Show entries as K/M/G" which can be used to set the default display mode of the list for bytes or K/M/G. Each lister can be set independently.

Directory Opus 4.15
(Public Release)
  • Long filenames do not trash copy/move/delete progress window

  • file viewer respects TABs
  • key shortcuts in file viewer are passed through keymap now so they should work correctly on non-QWERTY keyboards

  • removed PowerPacker support completely (replaced by XFDMaster support)
  • XFDMaster.library is opened only when needed and if it has already been opened by another program. This prevents loading all decrunchers from libs:xfd/ directory.

  • GetSizes functions do not show file names during scanning (only directories). This speeds it up a lot.
  • 68060 FPU should be correctly reported now.
  • minor corrections to iconify code (WB change during ButtonIconify or WindowIconify still doesn't work!)
  • Increased maximum displayed file name characters to 64.
  • Re-enabled DOPUS:libs/dopus.library search path for main program
  • Default pattern for file selection by date is current day.
  • Increased room for filesize in lister from 7 to 9 digits (Pavel Cizek)

Directory Opus 4.14
(Public Release)
  • 68060 and RTG system support for Version requester.
  • additional keystrokes in file viewer (Pavel Cicek):
    • Space - PageDown (doesn't activate scroll mode anymore!)

  • 'Sort by' popup menu added (requires popupmenu.library). Press RMB over diskname bar to display it.
  • standard version string for main program.
  • allows CGX/P96 custom screens (still 16-color limit).
  • icon filename creation changed to the same as used by AmigaDOS
  • removed 30 chars limit for ADDICON function (I wonder how many such limits still hide somewhere in the sources...)
  • added screennotify.library support (if available) so DOpus doesn't block WB screenmode changes anymore
  • CHIP RAM problems finally solved! It was so simple...
  • removed possible race condition which could cause a freeze after processing files when progress window was opened. But I don't relly think it helps ;-)
  • ConfigOpus: Increased maximum displayed file name characters to 64.
  • ConfigOpus: Fixed bug in filetype editing hex view.
  • ConfigOpus: Fixed bug in screenmode selection for ConfigOpus. Sometimes it preferred PAL over CGX

Directory Opus 4.13
(Public Release)
  • long filename support (upto 107 characters)
  • fixed stack problem when started from CLI.
  • ConfiOpus: If config window cannot be opened on WB due to insufficient number of free pens it tries to find best screenmode using BestModeID() under OS3.0+. No more annoying PAL screenmode.
  • ConfigOpus: screenmode filter allows CGX/P96 modes now (still upto 16 colors).
  • DOpus.library: CHIP RAM bug removed. No more trashed graphic on native displays.
  • requires OS 3.0+ to run
