I'm only going to reply to a few key points:
I never said it could be!
What I said was that DO can be configured to be as non-standard as TC is (by the sound of what people have said in this thread), and so it wouldn't make Opus "more non-standard" if a few more such options were added. I was supporting the idea of adding these options, or at least pointing out that them being non-standard isn't a good reason to ignore them, as Opus already has non-standard options.
It wouldn't be more confusing than all the annoying spam Directory Opus dumps on the users during installation: "Wanna replace Explorer? Wanna replace FTP? Wanna whatever function I don't want to be asked during installation?"[/quote]
I do not see how asking the user three(?) simple questions during installation is confusing. Especially compared to how confusing it is for a program to have, by default, completely different mouse button behaviour compared to every single other application on the entire Windows platform. Would you rather Opus took everything over without asking the user? Programs which take things over during installation without asking are very annoying.
It's called giving the user what they expect by default and you can turn off that feature if you don't want it, but most users come from Explorer so it makes sense, in most cases, to be consistent with Explorer. Same goes for what the mouse buttons do. You may be shocked that Opus, by default, acts like the program that 99% of people are used to using but I imagine those 99% of people would be more shocked if things were the other way around.
Now let's calm down here. All I said was that if TC had the non-standard mouse button assignments people are talking about by default then that seemed like an odd choice of default configuration to me. I didn't say that TC sucks or anything like that so there was no need to start randomly slagging off Opus for tenuous reasons like being asked if you want it to take over things during install. FYI I have tried TC briefly in the past but what I think of it isn't that relevant to this discussion. What I think of people asking for features from TC being added to Opus is relevant, however, since this is an Opus forum, yet if you read what I was saying I was actually supporting the people asking for those features by saying it wasn't a bad thing to have them! (That said, I've got no more say in what gets added to Opus than anyone else, seeing as I don't work for GPSoftware or write Opus.)
Now let's not let this thread turn into a stupid "my file manager is better than yours" thread because it's not productive for anyone. Let's stick to talking about whether people want additional mouse button options for Power Mode and what those options should do.
