Cannot locate "Flat View" option

Help & Support
1

I was not aware of the "flat view" option in Opus, so I tried to find it. I'm using version 15.5.0.0 (4779) x64

According to the HELP, it is under TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS, and I saw that the F10 key will toggle Flat View.

But I cannot locate that option, so I guess I msut be looking in the wrong palce. And, the F10 key does not toggle flat view.

So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your reply

I'm afraid I find the toolbars/customization, somewhat confusing in Opus. When I took the path you noted, I came up with the same window as I got from clicking on TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS, but there were no choicxes in that window for FLAT VIEW.

So I right clicked on one of my toolbars, and chose "customize" and in that window under commands I found all the Flat view choices, and I dragged the Flat View toggle view item to a toolbar.

I'm thinking it's about time to go back dto the default toolbar setup on a new install of Opus, since I have a number of toolbars which are duplicate names, with a (1) after them. I also have a library of saved configurations going back several years.

So maybe it's time to redo the customzation from scratch. The one thing I usually have problems with when working with toolbars, is positioning them vertically. How do I move a tool bar to the vertical position I want it in? When I create a toolbar, it often ends up in the wrong position vertically.

Is there a simple way to tell Opus to go to the default configuration that it installs with?

It's here in Opus 10. Right-click some empty space on your toolbars to get the menu:

(I don't know where the menu items will be in Opus 15 but if you could send us a copy, and the lottery results for next week, it will save us a lot of work! :laughing: )

Hi Leo,

Thanks for your reply.

I would like some info on positioning toobars. I thought that in the past I could drag them to the position I wanted. But I do not seem to be able to do that now.

Of course, Opus still remains the supreme KING of file managers. It's a 10, with Windows Explorer a 2, or mayube a 1.

You can still drag them, as long as Lock the toolbars is not on. (It's also shown in my screenshot above.)

Hi Leo,

They are not locked. I'll try again dragging.

I had thought that "locked" meant items could not be added or removed.

On second thought, I'm changing the Opus rating on a 1-10 scale fro a "10", to a "12". :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
