11.2 4th April, 2014
- The Convert Image function can now flip images
horizontally or vertically, as well as rotate them. The Image
CONVERT command has a new FLIP argument that lets
this behavior be automated. These commands have also been added to the standalone image viewer.
- The two options on the Preferences / Folder Tabs / Options
page to do with opening a new tab now have an additional option in
the drop-down list - Location. When this is selected, the
Browse button can be used to select a specific folder that
will be loaded automatically in the new tab.
- The breadcrumbs path field now has two additional options (see the section
on Breadcrumbs
configuration for information on how to enable them).
- selectprevious: This option makes the breadcrumbs field
mimic the Select previous folder when going Up option on
the Folders /
Folder Behaviour Preferences page. When using the crumbs in
the field to navigate to a parent of the current folder, the child
folder that leads to the previous location will be automatically
selected.
- noarchives: This option prevents archives from showing
in the drop-down menus attached to each crumb.
- Added an option to create RAR 5 archives to the RAR plugin preferences and
the Create Archive dialog. (Requires WinRAR 5)
- Added an option to choose between UnRar.dll and 7z.dll when extracting RAR
archives. UnRar.dll is the default, and is required if you want to be able to
extract RAR 5 archives. Some people may wish to switch back to 7z.dll as it
provided more accurate timestamps, and a couple of people have reported
problems with UnRar.dll on some machines. (We recommend you stay with
UnRar.dll unless you have a good reason to want to change.)
- Scripting changes:
- The Go TABCLOSE command can now be told (from a script)
exactly which tab to close. For example, from VBScript you might use
RunCommand("Go TABCLOSE=" & tab) to close a particular Tab
object.
- The CLI in Script Interpreter mode now has an
abort button to stop an errant script.
- Script configuration "List of choices"-type variables did not properly
save their current setting.
- Script-generated dialogs that use drop-down menus attached to the option
buttons now return the correct index for the drop-down items.
- Fixed a problem that could cause script entries in the
scriptconfig.oxc file to be duplicated for script packages.
- The script editor now notices changes to the @script
line and updates its syntax highlighting appropriately. It also won't try to
syntax highlight for a language it doesn't understand (e.g. Perlscript).
- The CLI in Script Mode now properly updates
its syntax highlighting when loading a saved script of a different language
to the current setting.
- The script editor now updates its syntax highlighting on
Paste/Undo/Redo.
- Running the Set DUAL command from a script now returns
the new tab handle in the Results object.
- The various OnXXX scripting event data objects now all
have a "qualifiers" property which indicates the state of the qualifier
keys.
- Favorite folders added to the JumpList now display their real icon instead
of a generic folder icon.
- Fixed icon-set caching causing images of varying sizes within a "Large" or
"Small" set to be padded to the size of the largest image in that set.
- There are very few icon sets affected by this, so most people can ignore
this, but if you have an affected icon set, delete everything under
"/dopuslocaldata/Icon Cache" and restart Opus to force the cache to be
regenerated.
- Individual icons within icon sets can now specify their own unique sizes
while still being in a single-image grid among other (larger) icons.
- The Make default FTP handler option now does something at least
on Windows 8 (it will now catch FTP URLs typed in the start->run dialog).
- Fix for crash in Windows 8 when accessing previous folders for a server
via a UNC path.
- Fix for crash when typing in a particular malformed regular expression.
- Fixed an issue with the SkyDrive Pro context menu that could
cause multiple sub-menus to appear.
- Fixed problems using context menu on files below volume mount points, and
improved the Description column's target display for the mount points
themselves.
- The selection box in the button editor icon picker now flashes quicker, to
make it easier to see which icon is selected in the grid.
- Fixed button editor icon picker reverting to the originally selected icon
if you changed the selection and then toggled the icon size.
- Workaround for bug in the Metro shell in Windows 8.1, where it would crash
and restart if you have the Opus archives context menu enabled and
right-clicked a file in the Metro search charm (Win-S) results.
- The Opus archives context menu would not appear outside of Opus if all
three of the extract, convert-to-sfx and keep-folder items/options were turned
off.
- Added CR and LF to the archives plugin's list of illegal filename
characters, so you can now extract files from .tar archives created on Linux
where the filenames inexplicably contain end-of-line characters. They will be
replaced by underscores.
- Fixed problem where Go CURRENT or clicking the last node
in the path field when one or more new columns had been turned on in a folder
that had a saved path format would result in the added columns being moved to
the end.
- Fix for thumbnail column + checkbox mode rendering glitches (if checkbox
mode is active the thumbnail and name column are no longer treated as one).
- The "ext" and "extdir" column keywords are no longer considered synonymous
by Set GROUPBY and Set SORTBY, since
sorting/grouping by the two columns is not actually the same.
- Fixed problem that would cause Thumbnail column to stop working
if it was saved in the default/custom format AND was part of the format saved
in a layout.
- Fixed Focal Length (35mm) column turning into unrelated
Company column if saved into a folder format, layout, style, etc. and
then reloaded.
- Taskbar progress is now displayed on Windows 7 and 8 when using the jobs
bar with progress dialogs excluded from the taskbar. (Previously, it was only
displayed when progress dialogs were included on the taskbar.)
- The tab groups preview in Preferences now uses the full width available
when the Preferences dialog is resized.
- Fixed CLI / script editor resize grip painting issues, and reduced flicker
when resizing the dialog.
- Fixed volume down key on some keyboards causing the Lister to act as if
tab has been pushed. (And possibly similar issues with other special keys.)
- Fixed images in the standalone viewer, except the first one viewed, always
being subject to EXIF rotation even if it was turned off in preferences, when
the standalone viewer was launched via double-click from a Lister.
- Fixed "Keep status bars at the bottom of the Lister" being enabled each
time the Status Bar preferences page was shown if another unrelated setting
happened to be switched on.
- Fixed the bottom of the Lister being left on-screen after resizing to
close the jobs bar, on machines where desktop composition was disabled.
- UnRar code now refuses to open RAR 5 archives created with the "save
identical files as references" option, since unrar.dll provides no proper way
to extract such files. We will review this when/if unrar.dll is updated to
support the new option.
