**Directory Opus 11.5.2 (beta)** is now available for all Opus 11 users.

This is a preliminary, [beta release](https://resource.dopus.com/t/stable-vs-beta-versions-and-the-automatic-update-checker/4595/1). Translations may not be fully up-to-date and some English text may appear in non-English versions.

**Changes:**

- Scripting changes:
  - Added the **ScriptColumn.grouporder** property to allow scripts to control a column's group order.
  - Script column handlers can now return the data for multiple columns simultaneously if desired, by setting the **ScriptColumn.multicol** property.
  - Script columns can now specify a different string for the column header to the label shown in column lists (via **ScriptColumn.header** ).
  - Script columns can now set the **ScriptColumn.namerefresh** flag if they want to be refreshed when the name of a file changes (as opposed to its contents, which is what **autorefresh** does).
  - Script date/time columns are now properly justified like other date/time columns are, and now group like other date fields.
  - Script date/time columns no longer display a default date if the column is left empty.
  - Script columns would occasionally show a very quick flash of **0** before they were populated.
  - The **Dialog** object would always include a string field even if the user had not requested it.
  - Script columns can now be added to the _Computer_ view.
  - Added a new **Date** object that provides an alternate way to handle dates and times. It converts automatically to **VT\_DATE** and so should act as a drop-in replacement. The **Item** object now returns **Date** objects for its various date fields rather than **VT\_DATE**. The **DOpus.NewDate** method can be used to create a new **Date** object.
  - The **FileSize** object has new **Add** , **Sub** , **Compare** and **Clone** methods.

- Added the **Set HIDEEXT** and **Set AUTOSIZE** commands to allow control of the _Hide file extensions_ and _Autosize Columns_ options. 
- Drop-down menus that show lists of columns now divide script columns into sub-menus based on the script they came from (for scripts that add more than one column). 
- The **Set SORTBY** command now lets you sort on multiple columns where one or more come from a script. 
- **Set COLUMNSTOGGLE** and similar commands did not support setting the position/width of a script column when adding it to the file display. 
- Fixed crash in brainchild (Advanced Function/Script editor) if you did two sequential "search & replace within selection" operations.
