I've got a new computer with Windows 11.
I've installed Dopus and my steam games. Icon were put on the desktop for the games and I moved the into a folder on the desktop. When I click on the folder, it opens Dopus with .url files.
How do I get to open a normal windows with icons displaying?
Steam game shortcuts are .url files.
The Windows desktop and File Explorer hide the .url extensions. Opus shows them, although we have plans to make that optional.
Icons should show for the Steam .url shortcuts in Opus, and work fine here.
How do I get to open a normal windows with icons displaying?
Do you mean a File Explorer window, or something else?
You can exclude folders from Explorer Replacement via Preferences / Launching Opus / Explorer Replacement.
To be honest, I was expe4cting something else. I was expecting something like the old Amiga days when double clicking on a windows would open another window with the contents instide.
Oh well, I'll just have to live with it.
Thanks Leo.
You could set the folder to display in Large Icons or Thumbnails mode, which will give you that.
I've set the folder to 64px icons in a single window. I've saved the format for a folder but it's not loading the setting every time I open the folder. It reverts back to the default options. I know I'm not doing it right but I don't know the right way to do it.
In the Folder > Folder Options dialog, Click Save and then Save format for a folder.
But thumbnail size is not one of the saved details, if that's what you're adjusting. There's a global thumbnail size setting (by default, 256 * system DPI scaling factor), and also a slider which temporarily adjusts the size in the current window, but that temporary adjustment isn't saved. (We have plans to let you define the size for particular folders in the future.)
On the other hand, setting the display mode to Large Icons will be saved, and will get you icons sizes which are 32 * your system's DPI scaling factor. (You can do that via the View menu in the lister itself, or on the Display tab within the Folder Options dialog.)
Excluding the folder from Explorer Replacement is still an option, of course, if you just want to use it to display a set of icons to double-click and want Explorer's more simple interface around it.
Thanks Leo.
