| A file manager is, at its simplest, a utility
program which presents lists of files and allows the user to perform actions
of some kind on those files. File managers are useful for moving files between
folders, making backup copies of files, viewing pictures and playing sounds,
running other utility programs on lists of files, deleting unwanted files
and many other "housekeeping" tasks. Directory Opus goes beyond the simple file
manager metaphor, and offers you a complete replacement for Windows Explorer
and many other utility programs for handling FTP, ZIP, viewing files and images,
running slideshows and more. It provides you with all this within a user-friendly
and fully-configurable environment within which you can access and manage
your important data with a minimum of effort. Harness the power of your computer
like never before!
-
Designed for Windows:
Directory Opus 9 has been designed and written from the ground up especially
for Windows. Full support for the latest Windows Operating Systems from 2000, XP and 2003
and Windows Vista.
-
Familiar Interface: Unlike many other
file managers, Directory Opus defaults to an Explorer-compatible user interface.
You can immediately begin using Directory Opus, with no learning curve,
because it will feel extremely familiar and comfortable to you. But, you
will find that you can easily configure the interface to fully personalize
your system including the use of dual file displays or multiple displays
for special folders.
-
Fully Configurable Menus, Toolbars
and Hotkeys: Directory Opus supports unlimited menus and toolbars.
Toolbars can be attached to any side of a Lister display or can be independent
free-floating windows. Directory Opus supports user-configurable hotkeys,
both for use within Opus, and globally throughout the system. The Windows
key is also fully supported!
-
Built-in ZIP and FTP Support: Throw
away your external ZIP and FTP programs - Directory Opus lets you access
ZIP files and FTP sites as easily as local folders! You can copy files from
anywhere and to anywhere - even from an FTP site straight into a ZIP file!
-
True Multitasking: The object-orientated
multi-threaded design gives you unheralded power to perform multiple operations
at the same time. Why should you have to wait for your computer to finish?
Now you can begin one task and immediately move on the the next. Zip one
folder whilst unzipping into another, at the same time as you are downloading
files from a remote FTP site and copying yet more files between your local
folders, independently and reliably.
- Support for Common Image and Sound Files:
Directory Opus supports most common image and sound file formats. It provides
a quick yet powerful image viewer which lets you view your pictures without
having to load a large paint program! It also provides a Thumbnails-style
view of your folders, allowing you preview a large number of images to
quickly locate the one you are looking for.
- Built-in Viewer Pane: Quickly view
pictures, text files and other types of files in the Opus Viewer pane directly
in the Lister window. Opus supports a viewer plug-in system so you can add
new drivers for the specific file formats you wish to view as they become
available. Directory Opus comes with plug-ins for many popular image and
document file formats. Third party libraries can extend the viewing capabilities
to include Word and Excel documents, Acrobat files and many other types
of files. A free SDK is available for developers to write their own viewer
plug-ins.
- Enhanced Support for Digital Images:
More than any other file manager, Directory Opus give you full access to
the hidden details of the EXIF format for images from digital cameras. You
can now sort images by any field and view all the information about your
photos from shooting time, shutter speed, aperture, subject distance, metering
type and more...
- Enhanced Finding and Searching: Directory
Opus lets you quickly locate the files you need, with an extremely powerful
search system. Does Explorer let you search for Led Zeppelin MP3 files recorded
at a bit rate of 160 sometime between last Thursday and today? Opus does!
- Powerful Internal Command Set: With
Directory Opus you are not just limited to functions given to you by the
programmer. Directory Opus's functions are built upon the most powerful
file management command language available in any file manager. You can
harness this easily to create your own functions commands to perform the
actions that YOU want to do.
There are many more features available
in Directory Opus 9, far too many to list here. Why not download a
free evaluation copy and see for yourself? We
guarantee you won't want to go back to Explorer! |
