At a DOS/CMD/TakeCommand prompt, "explorer ." opens an explorer instance in the current directory.
Doing the same with dopus opens a Directory Opus directory, not the current directory.
I've checked the fora,
It's 13 years after that last one. Is there a solution for this? The closest I've come is I've created a batch file, opus.cmd:
"D:\Directory Opus\DOpusRt.exe" /cmd go %cd%
But this seems like something that should be internal... and this solution re-uses pre-existing tabs. (I'd rather open a fresh tab, but haven't taken the time to figure out how.)

If Explorer Replacement is on, just type start .
to open the current folder (in a new tab, if you have Explorer Replacement configured to do that).

Ah, thanks. That almost does it, although it seems to always open a new lister rather than a new tab in the current lister.

The first solution given by lxp to my 2019 question opens a new tab with the folder contents, with no need to change your preferences:
Try
"%programfiles%\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /acmd Go PATH="D:\testfolder" NEWTAB TOFRONT
resp.
"%programfiles%\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /acmd Go PATH="D:\testfolder\testfile.txt" NEWTAB TOFRONT

Thank you. I find the depth of settings sometimes obscures them for me. That's very useful.
