Question about new feature Opus 9

Help & Support
1

Hi,

I saw the Opus preview 9 ans have a question about the Miscellaneous New Features section on page 5.
nudel.dopus.com/opus9/page5.html#miscellaneous

Quote from that page is:

"Toolbars and menus can include dynamic lists of files and/or folders. For example, you could add a menu which gives you easy access to a directory of documents that you are frequently refering to and the menu will automatically reflect the changes made by adding or removing documents from the directory. You can tell Opus how deeply to recurse into a directory structure and whether or not to include files and/or folders. Dropping files on a folder-only menu is a great way to quickly sort things into the right place"

So how do i create a button that does exactly that? So when i have a button on a toolbar reflecting a folder, how do i configure it to automatically display the files and folders in the menu?

Thanks, i just upgrade opus 8 to 9 today! It looks awesome :slight_smile:

Here is how I did it. You would need to modify this for your own needs of course.

In customize mode create a new menu button and for a command give it the base path of the folder you want. Mine is:

Go "C:\Archives\Program Storage"

Then still in customize mode add a new button to that new menu button and give it a command like this:

Go "C:\Archives\Program Storage" FOLDERCONTENT="button,maxdepth=1"

Of course the file path I used would have to be changed to what you want.
The BUTTON argument makes the folders clickable,
The MAXDEPTH sets how far the button will recurse into the folder tree.
