Button to open default set of tab in active window?

Help & Support
1

Hello.

Often I find myself with a lister with only one or two tabs (for example from devices opened or previously opened listers etc).

Normally I open dopus with a default lister that has a number of set tabs I most often use.

I would like to re-open this default set of tabs in the same window where I have the one or two extra tabs already opened.

The "new lister" command is OK, except it opens in a new window. Ideally, I'm looking for a "new lister" command that merges its tab into the current window (even better putting its own tabs first)

Hope this whole thing makes any sense to you.

Is this possible? Using the latest dopus. Thanks!

Would turning on Preferences / Launching Opus / Explorer Replacement / Open all Default Lister tabs when opening a new window make more sense, so that you always have the tabs (unless you manually close some of them)?

Hey, that seems to make some difference. Thanks! I'll report back after a few days of use with this setting on.

Hi-

I just upgraded to 10.5.4.0. I have a button on my toolbar to load the default lister however now when I click it I get the following error: Windows Cannot Find "C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe"

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Is that where Opus is installed?

What's the command that the toolbar button runs? (Is it an Opus toolbar, or a toolbar in another program? Commands in Opus toolbars would not normally look for dopusrt.exe at all, with a few rare exceptions.)

6

Yes. That is where it is installed. It is running in Opus. The function is OpenDefault.

Ultimately, I'm just looking to open the default lister in the same window.

7

OpenDefault isn't a standard command so presumably it is a user command. What does the user command run in turn?

8

I'm not sure what you are asking. Could it be this:
dopusrt /acmd Close
dopusrt /acmd Go NEW

That command looks correct and should work (if it's what's really being run via the main button).

Is that something you created under Settings -> Customize -> Commands -> User-defined Commands as a custom OpenDefault command?

When you edit the command, what is the Function drop-down set to? (It should be Standard Function.)

Does C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe exist? (Note: It's dopusrt.exe not dopus.exe.)

10

No, C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe does not exist but it must have before the upgrade as it worked fine before that.

11

It should exist, and the upgrade won't have been what deleted it (or we'd all have the same problem). Maybe an over-zealous antivirus tool did something based on the exe being one it hadn't seen before.

I'd recommend reinstalling the latest version of Opus over the top of itself to get the file back. (Don't uninstall first as there's no need to and it would wipe your config.)

If you need a copy of the installer, it's here.

That did it. Thanks.
