Hi there,
Besides dedicated programs for specific tasks, I mainly live inside Opus when doing computer stuff. Most of the time, I want full access to all locations and files.
However, there are situations (such as collaborating with a friend, co-worker, neighbor behind my computer or viewing photos together) where I’d prefer to temporarily restrict what is visible and accessible, to avoid accidentally exposing private files.
I was thinking a profile-based feature for Directory Opus that allows quick switching between profiles with different levels of file visibility and access would be very handy.
For example, having a “Full Access” profile and a “Restricted” profile, where the restricted profile can be activated with a single click and applies an extra layer... layer of user-defined filters, exclusions, or access restrictions.
- Hide or exclude specific files/folders (e.g. via Tags or paths)
- Limit access to certain directories when browsing Opus
- Exclude indexed items from Everything from Global Everything search Results
- Different tool bar / Lister / ?
Being able to switch between these profiles quickly would help prevent accidental exposure of private files, while still keeping normal workflow uninterrupted.
Just an idea, but I think this kind of feature would add both convenience and an extra layer of practical privacy for everyday use.
Thanks for considering!
