Preferences

  • Added Assume UTF8 filenames option to Zip & Other Archives / Zip Files, to help with Zip files which store filenames using UTF8 despite not setting the flag in the archive to say they're doing so.

  • Added Launching Opus / Startup / Always perform startup action option. When turned on the configured startup action (e.g. open the last closed Listers) will always happen even if Opus is launched to show a specific folder (e.g. by double-clicking on a desktop icon).

  • Added File Displays / Folder Expansion / Extra expand button width option. Lets you add additional padding around the expansion buttons for expandable folders in the file display. Also added File display - expand button extra width setting to UI spacing schemes.

  • Added Toolbars / Options / Only with key held down option. With this enabled, toolbar tooltips will only be shown if the specified modifier key is held down.

  • Added File Operations / Logging / Include seconds in timestamps and Include milliseconds options.

  • Added Miscellaneous / Advanced / description_quick_flush option. When storing descriptions in the external descript.ion format, this option makes description changes get flushed to disk immediately rather than being batched up and written "lazily" on a timer.

Commands

  • Prefs LAYOUT=!lastclosed can now be used to (re)open the special Lister set that is saved automatically when Opus shuts down (or at regular intervals if the backup option is turned on).

  • When setting a Lister background image with the Set BACKGROUNDIMAGE command, the BACKGROUNDIMAGEOPTS=local argument can now be used to make the image local to a single Lister rather than global. Use BACKGROUNDIMAGEOPTS=local,reset to reset a Lister back to the global settings.

  • The Properties SETLABEL command now accepts the !lastused keyword. This will apply the label that was most recently applied to a file. A button with this command automatically shows the name of the most recently used label, and updates whenever a different label is applied.

Scripting

  • The script editor now remembers bookmarks set in the internal text editor (via Ctrl-F2) from one invocation to the next.

  • Script columns can now provide column text with simple html markup which will be used in places markup is supported (e.g. in a tooltip). The markup text should be returned in the ScriptColumnData.markup value.

  • Script dialogs now support Date/Time Picker controls.

  • Added OnScheduledTimer event and DOpus.SetScheduledTimer method. Very similar to OnPeriodicTimer/DOpus.SetTimer except you can provide a specific date/time for the timer to be triggered. Note that scheduled timers only trigger once, and if the specified time has already passed they won't trigger at all.

  • Added Control.type script property; returns a string indicating the type of the control.

Miscellaneous

  • Added an option under Customize / Toolbars to disable mouseover button highlighting on a per-toolbar basis.

  • Context menu commands added via File Types can now have custom descriptions which are shown as tooltips.

  • Added GPSTimestamp field to metadata editor for exif files.

  • If the option to show sizes/dates in thumbnails mode is enabled, they're now shown for folders as well as files.

Fixes

  • Fixed CreateFolder command's "auto read" mode getting confused when given a path containing extra slashes (e.g. CreateFolder D:\\1234 READAUTO).

  • Fields like filecount and dircount now work from evaluation label filters.

  • Fixed file/folder counts not being preserved properly in the back/forward folder history list.

  • Global everything search now works from empty tabs (both via the search field and the FAYT).

  • Searching with "ignore diacritics" enabled now treats Ł (Polish L with stroke) as a normal latin L character.

  • Creating a shortcut to a server share now works.

  • Made a change to hopefully fix reported single-click mode issues (e.g. DO in single click mode is not registering clicks).
