Create folder in Opus using Elgato Stream Deck?

Help & Support
1

Hello,

question, would it be possible to set a command in Stream Deck, to make a new folder everywhere in Directory Opus when pressing a configured button?

That would be interesting to me, would be interested in having a command for just a creating a new folder and maybe a command to create a new folder with a designated name.

What do you mean by "everywhere"? In every open folder/tab/window at once?

any directory that I'm browsing at that moment and no just needs to create one folder...lol

CreateFolder is the Opus command for doing that. (You can discover it by editing the New Folder button on the default toolbars. Useful if you need any similar commands.)

To have the Stream Deck tell Opus to run that command, configure the Stream Deck to run this command:

"C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /acmd CreateFolder

I'm not sure if the Stream Deck's built-in method for launching programs supports passing arguments to them (it's extremely basic), but there's a free add-on which lets you do that, along with some other other things that can be useful when launching things:

I forgot to add the other command, for creating a named folder instead of prompting for a name:

CreateFolder NAME="My Folder"

To run that from outside of Opus (e.g. Steam Deck):

"C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /acmd CreateFolder NAME="My Folder"

If the launcher you're using wants the program and arguments separately, they would be:
Program: C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe
Arguments: /acmd CreateFolder NAME="My Folder" (or similar)

Thanks for this fantastic explanation, the Line for Program and Arguments works perfectly, Thanks!!!

Exactly what I needed.
