Hello there. I’ve been using Opus Directory for a while and I am constantly amazed by what it can do to the point I recommend it to everyone I know. Naturally, I’ve had many newbie questions when faced with such a rich program, but I’ve managed to get answers by searching here or simply spending more time with it.
After going through this phase, here are some things I still haven’t managed to work out. Hopefully most of them are already possible, if not, please consider them as feature requests.
-
Unlike Windows Explorer, selecting files/folders by left click and drag doesn't seem possible when you start the click and drag action when the starting position is right next to the files (name column). Is there an option I am missing?
-
Is there a way to make a button (to eventually drag into the folder tab menu) to show the x (i.e the last 20) recent files opened? I found a way to do that with folders but not files.
-
How can I show a Collection folder contents (files and subfolders) by expanding it (as well as keep them expanded permanently in the folder tree if I want)? This only seems possible if those are also collection folders and I like having the option to see them without having to click/browse the collection folder.
-
More importantly and in conjunction with the previous, is there a way to show just the contents from various folders in a File Collection folder without adding the folders in question, themselves or add them but only see their contents? For example, create a "Downloads" Collection Folder and have the contents of "C:\Downloads" and "D:\Downloads\Images" always (meaning updated dynamically) shown into it without their host folders appearing?
-
When dragging a folder into another in order to move/copy it, is there a way for the destination folder (and its subfolders if needed) to expand sideways as the pre-Windows 10 start menus, instead of opening in place (yet retaining the "in place" function for a hotkey if necessary)? I am used into dragging stuff into folders and keep it there for a pre-set amount of time, before a sideways tree appears from my previous Windows Explorer replacement of choice and I’ve seen Opus Directory doing much more complex stuff, so I suppose this is possible?
-
Likewise, is there a way to get this "expanded sideways" tree function for folders I've created "Move to..." entries in the main context menu for? I've added one for each of my hard disks as well as an entry where a "select destination folder" opens up upon clicking (when seeking for a solution to pick a destination folder on the fly/not a preset), can I get an "expanded sideways" tree for these too?
-
Having commands to do so many things in the program, is there a way (natively or with the help of something like Autohotkey's send/send text functions) to just send (meaning without making a button or custom hotkey) those code blocks found in this forum into the program and have them executed?
-
Is there a way to enter the customize mode without its window popping up, just to allow toolbar editing and moving things around?
Thanks for your consideration and your excellent work developing this amazing program!
