When I cut (right click -> cut) the highlighting disappears and there is noway to tell which files have been cut and which haven't. Normally in Windows Explorer these files would be dimmed a bit so you could tell them apart. Is there anyway in Dopus to make these cut files appear different from the remaining files in the directory?
The icon is dimmed when a file is cut.
Looking closely I can see this. The problem is when I am not looking closely and against a white background it is very difficult to see a few files dimmed just a tad. Is there anyway to increase the opacity being applied to cut files?
It's exactly the same effect that Explorer uses.
If you don't want the files to be deselected after being cut, add @nodeselect to your Ctrl-X hotkey (Settings -> Customize -> Keys):
@nodeselect
Clipboard CUT
[quote="jon"]It's exactly the same effect that Explorer uses.[/quote]After popping back into Windows Explorer and cutting a set of files I noticed that those files remained selected. If I click somewhere else in the folder (i.e. not a file/folder) I have just as much trouble seeing that they are dimmed. How weird that I remember cut files dimming in Explorer but not the fact that they remain selected.... I blame my unusual lack of sleep

. This completely solves my problem. One more question about this modifier. Is there a reason it doesn't work when added to the Ctrl+V section? It would be handy if the newly pasted files remained/appeared selected as well. Is this possible?
Cool. 
Freshly pasted files aren't ever selected to start with so telling Opus not to de-select them has no effect.
[quote="leo"]Freshly pasted files aren't ever selected to start with so telling Opus not to de-select them has no effect.[/quote]I'm assuming not but is there a way to tell Dopus to select the files being pasted?
Not that I know of.
I think I may have found a bug. I was messing around with the options and tried what the image shows below. Now when I paste a file into a directory all of the files and all of the folders are selected, EXCEPT for the very first folder. In a directory with no folders, all of the files are selected without any trouble. I also tried the ALL argument alone (instead of allfiles & alldirs) which yielded the same result.
Sorry. Forgot the pic 
Try adding @nodeselect to that.
The Clipboard PASTE command can paste into the first selected folder so it's probably "using" that folder and causing Opus to deselect it, which @nodeselect would prevent.
Actually, building from your idea, I think this gets you what you want with the pasted files being selected:
Select ALL
Clipboard PASTE
Select INVERT
I found the invert command but wasn't able to get it to select the files. I've tried every combination I can think of to keep this command as short as possible but only the following works for me.
Select ALLDIRS
Select ALLFILES
@nodeselect
Clipboard PASTE
@nodeselect
Select INVERT
@nodeselect
I've had no luck at all with Select ALL. I can get the file highlighting to work with less than what is noted above but it breaks when I'm pasting a folder that would appear first alphabetically. I also notice if I try and switch between different commands that no command I give Dopus will work. As long as it works I'm happy, even if it is as nasty a solution as above.
No editing is going to kill me. I'm sorry about double posting so much 
. I just wanted to conclude the thread by saying that everything is working just as I would like it. Copy (Ctrl+C), Cut (Ctrl+V), and Paste (Ctrl+V) all have highlighting to show me what files are in play.
Note: I was able to get the code above to work by removing the very last @nodeselect. So the final code I'm using is as follows. Thank You very much for your help! 
Cut (Ctrl+X)@nodeselect
Clipboard COPY
Copy (Ctrl+C)@nodeselect
Clipboard CUT
Paste (Ctrl+V)Select ALLDIRS
Select ALLFILES
@nodeselect
Clipboard PASTE
@nodeselect
Select INVERT
