Hi,
I have two or three directories that I navigate to and use 90% of the time. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to use Directory Opus to access these easily and quickly. Would a specific Lister per directory be the way to go, or maybe a button in a Lister which takes me there?
I've had Directory Opus for a number of years but have not had the need to make use of it to it's fullest potential. I think this would be a good start to learning more.
Thanks.

Depends entirely on how you use Opus and how you prefer to do things.
I use both lister layouts and toolbar buttons for this kind of thing, depending on exactly what I'm doing.
If you just want a way to go to a folder, a toolbar button is the simplest. Just go into customize mode (Settings -> Customize), then drag the folder to your toolbar.
Hi,
I usually open a Lister using the win + E shortcut, this gives me a lister normally with a simple explorer style rooted at the desktop. I would like to navigate quickly to a predefined directory since I am almost always needing to carry out some right click subversion commands on this directory or open a file in this directory for editing.
Thanks,
Adie
You could make hotkeys which open listers in other folders, or change what the Win-E hotkey does, or use a lister layout, favourite, toolbar button...
There are lots of options. Which one works best for you is a personal choice.
Is there an easy way to find out what the actual executed command is for a given right click context menu item? I'd like to create a button which saves me having to right click, but I don't know what this particular window's explorer context menu plugin(?) executes when clicked.
thanks
Is that connected to the original question? If not please start a new thread (and give more information, e.g. which plugin & menu item are you talking about and what does it actually do).
Sorry I used plugin when I meant explorer shell extension, this would cause confusion with Opus plugins. It was a generic question loosely connected to the first post. The shell extension in question is TortoiseSVN, I was just wondering if there was a way of finding out in general what is executed for a given shell extension so that I can put that logic into an Opus button.
I'll have a hunt around for details.
The answer depends on the shell extension. There's no general way that works with everything but many/most things can be worked out.
With TortoiseSVN, there is a documented command-line interface that lets you launch it with commands from Opus (or shortcuts, batch files, scripts, other programs, etc.). In the TortoiseSVN help, you want Appendix D. Automating TortoiseSVN.
To do an SVN-update on a directory you'd make a button which ran something like this:
"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe" /command:update /path:"D:\Source\ProjectX"
