I am considering moving to Opus 13 for the Evaluator feature but I am not sure if it can do this.
Lets say inside c:\temp
, I have a mix of directories and files and they have a NTFS Alternative Data Stream that has text content.
Is it possible to use the Evaluator, the get this ADS text content and populate into a custom column? So that in a Lister, when I navigate to this directory, it will be displayed just like any other column data?
I have been doing this already with a Opus 12 script but
- It appears to be abandoned
- Its slow and with the more streams per file, it scales up badly
- Its very convoluted, so I have no hope of optimising it or even picking up the pieces in a timely manner

I understand the above points to be the reason why the evaluator was introduced in the first place.
Also is there place a where one can get a good overview of what the evaluator is capable achieving?
Thanks!
